Here is a note on signer Hugh Williamson who designed the NC seal and a university seal, if I recall. The heraldic William Wallace connection, though, is made below:
Quote:
I was born on the 20th of February, 1803, of respectable parentage, in Franklin county, Pennsylvania. My Father’s mother was a Williamson, sister to the distinguished Hugh Williamson, LL.D., one of the framers of the U.S. Constitution, and a man otherwise prominent during the period of the Revolutionary War, who held a high place afterwards also, in the world of letters, as the editor of the History of North Carolina, an Essay on Climate, and other publications. The family, in the coat of arms and otherwise, has always claimed descent (how truly I pretend not to say) from the celebrated Scottish chieftain, Sir William Wallace. Another brother lived and died as an Episcopal clergyman in England, where he is honorably represented by descendants mostly of the third generation. A third brother, Capt. John Williamson, became a successful and wealthy merchant, in Charleston, S.C.; and it was as namesake to him in particular, that I got my own middle name of Williamson—the only proper Christian name, in fact, by which I was ever known or spoken of in my early life.
According to another source Hugh Williamson descended from John Williamson, who descended from a sister of Sir William Wallace, who married a Mr. Williamson.
Two theories: the arms claimed by Hugh Williamson were Williamson arms or were Wallace arms. The Williamson theory is a better bet than the Wallace theory. Here is the Wallace theory. The father of Sir William Wallace was Malcolm (now thought to be Alan Wallace.). The arms attributed to him and his son are here. Malcolm had two daughters, after that, three sons. Son Malcolm2nd (eldest son) was killed with father Malcolm. As we know from the movie William died when his guts were torn out and he yelled FREEDOM! Williams brother John was also a soldier, but I am not sure what became of him (probably not good). That left perhaps his sisters to carry on the arms. THIS IS A GUESS.
On the Williamson theory, there is probably no way to prove his Williamson ancestor married a Wallace sister. However, there is probably a way to find out if a Williamson had arms in the area.
So, it looks like further study is warranted, at least into the claim that Hugh Williamson claimed arms. I bet there is someone who wrote a book on Hugh Williamson.
If Hugh Williamson used a version of the Scottish Williamson arms then they are likely to be a variant on Argent a saltire cantoned by "stuff" Sable. There are three matriculations in volume 1 of the Lyon Register.
Benjamin Williamson of Banniskirk, Esq.
Argent a saltire engrailed Sable accompanied with a boar’s head erased in chief Gules, two garbs in the flanks Azure and in base a mullet of the third
Crest: A ship under sail in a sea Proper
Motto: Dominus Providebit
LR i/225 11th March 1761
James Williamsone of Hutchinfield
Argent a saltire betwixt three mullets in chief and fess Sable and a boar’s head erased in base Gules
Crest: A garb lying on its side unbound Proper
Motto: Modice Augetur Modicum
LR i/440 c1674
John Williamson, late Baillie of Kirkcaldy
Argent a saltire waved Sable betwixt two boars heads erased in chief and base Gules and as many mullets in fess of the second
Crest: None
Motto: Modicum Modico Erit Magnum
LR i/440 c1674
The Williamsons, Barons Forres (UK 1922) descend from Archibald Williamson of Anstruther in Fife (1787-1847) and bear arms that suggest connection to John Williamson of Kirkcaldy.
Argent a saltire wavy between a mullet in chief and another in base and as many boars heads couped in the flanks Sable armed and langued Gules
Crest: A garb Or
Motto: Modice Augetur Modicum
Supporters: Two Condors Proper (the 1st Baron was Chairman of Central Argentine Railway and Lobitos Oilfields)
LR xix/59 2nd March 1906, rematriculated xxv/47 14th June 1922
Nothing in any of these arms recalls Wallace.

It looks like the crest is placed on the top of the chief in a circle, perhaps a lion holding a flag of some sort. I don’t have a clue about the tinctures.

Hugh Williamson’s father, John Williamson, was a clothier who is said to have been born in Dublin in 1704.
Interestingly, these arms don’t seem to match any of the Williamsons in BGA.
The Scottish ones feature saltires cantoned and most English/Irish are have a chevron which is usually (15 out of 19) between three trefoils. The other four arms replace the trefoils with falcon’s heads, griffin’s heads, two trefoils & a crescent and eight cinqfoils.
A combined search through BGA and Papworth suggests that the nearest match are the arms of an English family called Allan or Alleyn
Alleyn (Thaxted & Hatfield Peverell, Essex, Barts, cr 1629-ext 1759)
Sable a cross potent Or
Crest: A demi lion Azure holding in the paws the rudder of a vessel Or
Alleyn (The Mote, co. Kent & Gresley, co. Derby). Sir John Alleyn twice Mayor of London temp Henry VIII)
Arms as above quartered by Hincks
The same basic arms are noted by BGA for Allan (Herefordshire & Staffordshire) and the Allans of Blackwell Grange & Blackwell Hall in Co. Durham (descended from a family from Herefordshire) bore a differenced version with the cross quarter pierced and charged with guttees de sang, a chief with lions heads and a bordure.
Similarly some Allens are listed as bearing Sable a cross formy and others Sable a cross patonce
I haven’t found any genealogical details of Hugh Williamson. Are there any Allan/Alleyn connections?

So that we don’t duplicate effort, before I write to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania to ask whether the original image is in color or black and white, is anyone else doing so?

I have sent the graphics to Mr. Lyons, head archivist. He is locating the item to see if it was transferred to another archive. If he locates it, he will call me, according to our phone call.
No luck yet…. Joe, did you want to make the next contact?
By the way, the bound collection of old arms sounds interesting…

Dear Michael Swanson:
I’m afraid I have not been able to locate any information about the
coat-of-arms you inquired about. I find no listing for any Hugh
Williamson coat-of-arms in our coat-of-arms card catalog, the separate
bound inventory of HSP’s coat-of-arms collection, our general images
card catalog, our manuscripts card catalog, or our online catalog.
Frankly, I don’t know where else to look. If you have any additional
information that might help turn up other possibilities, please let me
know.
The only other thing I can think of would be for you to contact the
Atwater Kent Museum and see whether it might for some reason be part of
the former HSP museum holdings that Atwater Kent administers.
Sorry I don’t have more to offer you.
Best,
Matthew
