Linthicum Cem. in Monroe Co.,In., marr. Fayette Chambers 1883 Monroe Co.,In., having a son Booker Wilson b. 3/5/1893 d. 10/30/1976 bur. Garrison Chapel Cem., Monroe Co.,In. marr. Elsie Douglas. Then I'm wondering if Lawson Wilson 1808- was not a son of Booker Wilson 1770-75 - 1839, then was it just a coincidence that the above Booker Wilson 1893-1976 was a descendant of Lawson Wilson, who was supposedly not a son of Booker Wilson, then why was he named Booker which is a very odd first name, not common at all?
