Tradition says that John Williamson paid his respects to one Priscilla Thomas as well as to Sarah Smedley,and had decided in favor of the former,but being at a vendue buying goods for housekeeping,Sarah came to him and said she should die if he married Priscilla.In some perturbation of mind John went to Priscilla to find out what to do about it.She advised him to marry Sarah,adding that it never should be said that she, PriscilIa,died for any man.It is further stated that a Maryland gentleman,hearing of the circumstance,and admiring Priscilla's independence,sought her hand in marriage.John Williamson was at this time an attender of Springfield Meeting.
