He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1884, Williamson set the single season home run record with 27 in a 112-game season, besting the record of 14 set by Harry Stovey the previous year. Historians look upon that record skeptically, due to the all-too-friendly dimensions of Chicago's Lakeshore Park.
