This family moved from TN. to IL. between 1846 and 1850. They are shown on the 1850 Union census living with son Ellis B. (born about 1846 in TN.) and a child names James Wilson. Any information on this family would be wonderful! Birth/marriage/death dates, ancestor names, where in TN they were from, when/why they came to IL., relasionship to the Wilson child, etc. I have searched everywhere I can think of and the only other possible trace I have come across is a John Hunter on the 1880 Makanda, Jackson Co., IL. census. Again any help would be appreciated! Thanks! >
