The will was signed 28 May 1822, and witnessed by James Frost, Mary Frost, and Polly Smith. The will was presented and proved in Albany, NY, 31 Dec 1823. George Snyder and Benjamin Gaige were appointed executors administrators.

Granddaughter Mary Ostrander is assumed to be Betsy's daughter (of Elizabeth "Betsy" Williamson and Henry Ostrander). McGowan⁵⁵⁶³ has those mentioned in order: George (wife Mary Hunt); John; David (wife Nancy Gage); Elizabeth (husband Henry Ostrander); Mary; Margaret; William (wife Mary Quackenbush); and Peter. McGowan has specific birth dates for George, John, David and Elizabeth. No dates for Mary, Margaret, William or Peter on the family group sheet for John Williamson.

The specific provisions of his will imply a successful farm and well furnished household, including a herd of cattle, flock of sheep, and wheat field(s). Each of his daughters, and his grand-daughter Mary Ostrander, were to receive a bed, bedstead and bedding, to be given them on their marriage.

Earle McGowan has⁵⁵⁶³ "Anna Marie (called Mary) Passage": residences Philadelphia, Pa, and Town of Princeton, Albany Co., NY before her marriage. Mary Williamson died after 1822, when she was mentioned⁵⁷⁵² when she was mentioned in her husband's will.
