This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wilson & Wright Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lAB.2ACE/2935.1 Message Board Post: Michael,I don't believe Josiah is the son of Elijah for 2 reasons. On the 1880 census, Josiah says his father is b. VA, and on the 1850 census, Elijah says he is b. KY, also there is no son, Josiah listed, only John F. who is 3 yrs. old in 1850. (1850 Census Casey County is online) but I believe all these Wilson(s) are probably cousins because Thomas Wilson (b. 1765 and m. Elizabeth Wright) had a brother Josiah. Mary, des.of WILSON, Elizabeth b.1884, Thomas E. b. 1860, William T. b. 1831, Thomas b. 1765
