Thank you for your response to my posting. Actually, I am not researching the Willsons; however, Elizabeth Ann Willson, b. 1842, married Benjamin Alexander Cagle, is my ancestor. And, yes I understand Benjamin is Indian from his mother Sarah Bird. This has not been proven as far as I know. If I can be further help with the Cagle line, let me know.

The 1920 census shows that his father spoke German. Also, on the 1920 census, Ben is listed with the middle initial "J" instead of the usual "A", both sound alike which probably accounts for the error. James Cagle is listed as the father of Benjamin Alexander Cagle, b. 15 Aug 1850; d. 25 Apr 1920 on "Ben's" Death Certificate from the State of Tennessee, certificate #398, of Whitewell, Marion County.

WILLSON married to Nancy LEE, and their son John Lee Willson, b. 1844 is my great, great grandfather. Which Wilson is your line? I have heard that they are Cherokee. How did you find that George is from Spartanburg, SC? I am excited to find another Wilson (ours) working on this line. Nelda Laird is from another brother's line, and she has some good info, too. I have not worked on this in some time. Jenelle Jarnagin [email protected] Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
