My g-grandfather was Abner Wilson. I assume he was white but married a Choctaw by the name of Rosanna Willis. I've seen several variations in the spelling of Rosanna. Her parents were Robert and Sarah (Woods) Willis. Abner and Rosanna had 2 children, Ada Wilson and Mary Jane Wilson, both born in the late 1880's. These people lived in Wade County, Choctaw Nation, I.T. in what is now the Muse OK area. Abner died about 1889 and I was told he was about 30 years old at the time of his death. In years past I found some type of document that placed Abner Wilson and Robert Willis together and I think it was as illegal whites. I have misplaced that information. I also found something at one point in time that indicated Abner was born in Arkansas; it may have been the same document. My grandmother wrote in my baby book that Abner's parent's names were Jimmy Wilson and (?) Cowan. I have searched census records for Jimmy, James, JA, AJ, Abner, etc. but can not find any that I can directly link to Abner. I can find no record of these people or of Abner before his death other than what I've written here. I would appreciate any information anyone can offer on my missing Wilson family. --------------------------------- All-new Yahoo! Mail - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster.
