Hi Jerri I am searching for my WILSON unk first names g grandparents. Do you know any more about your WILSONs. The first known place I have is that John William WILSON was b: in Hickory County, MO in 1872. This was off my mother's birth certificate.

William's father was Henry Cooper, Sr. and Elizabeth Benton. They are all said to be from Ga after SC...then to LA. It names Abner Wilson as the father of Mary. Her mother as Elizabeth Morgan. The Wilson's may have settled around Mississippi. I'm hoping to confirm any of this...it was found at a college in Hammond LA and was done in the 50's...before the internet......so, anybody know these?? Jerri Peek
