Reuben Smith’s diary says that Robert Williamson was Sam. Smith’s brother-in-Law.
So, Robert’s wife was the sister of Sam’s wife, surname not known.
Mark Rowcroft was Sam’s uncle. Marks wife was Isabella Williamson.
Therefore, is Sam’s mother Isabella’s sister & is her last name Williamson? i.e., Ann(e) Williamson?]

My second cousin Sam. Smith, wife & son Charly; along with
Robert Williamson his brother-in-law, wife & child [Sam’s wife was Robert’s wife’s sister?]
left Stockport Great Moor for Liverpool bound for New York on “Rappahannock”
Sam’s wife & son returned; Reuben Smith went in their place; finally departed on Oct 12
Oct visited Mrs Cotton a sister of Sam Smith’s wife in West Broomfield (?) NJ
Oct visited another sister-in-law to Sam & sister of Robert Williamson in Fall River MA
Oct Sam & Reuben propose to go on to Sam’s Uncle, Mark Rowcroft, who lives 8 mi N of Burlington IA.
[Mark was married to Isabella Williamson, who must have been a sister to Samuel’s mother.]
1854 Oct 23 Reuben Smiths’ diary says Samuel Smith arrived New York on “Rappahannock” from Liverpool with Reuben Smith, Robert Williamson, wife & child

There is no Reuben Smith on the passenger list.
[Incorrect; according to diary, Reuben Smith came in place of Mrs Smith & Charles,
who did not come at the last minute due to Mrs Smith’s health.
Wonder why the manifest was never changed?]
