Carolyn, don't think this is weird---but I could just give you a big bear hug right about now!! Dad & I have been wondering about H.M. Wilson ever since we saw his name all over some Drew Co. land transactions with my great-grandparents, Charley and Edna (Brown) Jones, and also involving Ezekial and Zella Clanton. Wish I had the dates right in front of me...but I think the transactions were in the early 1920s. I will check this tonight and get back to you. Mr. Wilson definitely seemed to have a lot of land...and if 'your' H.M. Wilson and the one doing land dealings with our family was one and the same, yes, he was a shrewd businessman! This is the most I've had to go on re: H.M. Wilson since June!! Thank you!! --Melissa
