Theo Ernest Williamson (1914-2005) of Newport News, VA, was my Great-Grandfather Overstreet's first cousin and last-living grandchild of Jesse Powers Overstreet (1838-1924) and Mary Jane Warner Overstreet (1841-1922), whose picture he is holding. This was taken about six months before he celebrated his 90th birthday in his home on Roanoke Avenue, where he and his wife of 67 years, Frankie Overstreet Williamson (1915-2007), lived 1948-2005. Because he vaguely remembered his Overstreet grandparents, Mr. Williamson saw at least seven generations of the Overstreet family, even though he never had children of his own.
