I am still trying to find some information on my Wilson Family in Clinton Township in Putnam County. I did find that John Henry Wilson was born in King George Co., VA, married Susan Bettis in Mason County, KY. They came to Putnam County, Clinton Township around 1840 and lived there until about 1855. According to a great aunt he had a brother called Tunis, though I haven't found a trace of anyone by that name. John has a sister Ann who is also shown in Clinton Township, Susan has a brother Abner Bettis and a sister Frances Shepherd living there. There are other Wilson's living there, but haven't been able to make a connection yet. John Henry also had a sister Jane who married Levi Rogers. All these families except Abner Bettis immigrated to Wayne Co., IA showing in the 1856 Census for Wayne Co., IA. 1856 is the correct census year not an error.
