Faith, are there any WILSEY's in your 1860 census? My g-grandfather William KNOTTS was in Christian co and possible Sangamon cos in the mid 1840's. He m a Sylvia WILSEY in Hancock co in 1844. I wonder if there were WILSEYs where he was living? There are KNOTTS descendants of Joseph in both Sangamon and Christian cos . I'd appreciate any information you have. Bob Knotts
