Olive and others: I have a David Franklin WILHELM who married Sarah E. BEGGS, 6 December 1860 Union County, IL. Are they the parents of the David F. WILHELM who married 30 Nov. 1890? David Franklin WILHELM is the son of John WILHELM, b1799, NC and Mary BOSTON. John WILHELM, b1799, NC is the son of Lewis and Margaret WILHELM. Daniel E. WILHELM, b1833, Roan/Rowan, NC is another son John WILHELM and Mary BOSTON. He married Nancy EVERS, 1853, Pulaski County, IL and then died in the Civil War. They had at least one child, Belinda Jane WILHELM, born 1853, Pulaski County, IL. The widow, Nancy EVERS WILHELM, married 2nd Joel D. HILL, in 1863 and they lived just outside of Karnak on the old WARD land. Much of the above is from "The Biographical Review of Johnson, Massac, Pope, & Hardin Counties, Illinois". If any of you are interested in other sources for this information, please let me know. I am primarily interested in the BEGGS & WARD family research if anyone has something to share. Debbie WARD McArdle Descendent of the John WARD (1810-1862) family of Pulaski County, IL. My WARDs left Karnak about 1925. ----- Original Message ----- From: oliveew606@yahoo.com To: ILJOHNSO-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 7:13 PM Subject: [ILJOHNSO] Re: Wilhelm connection This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
