Hi, May I make a few corrections to your Moses Harkness Wilson family? Moses Harkness Wilson was born 1 Nov 1807 and died 17 Jan 1862. He was a Baptist Minister in Russell Co, KY as was his father Nathaniel. Melissa was never known as Malita, this was the bad spelling of the County Clerk. Her mother Agnes Stephens was the younger sister of Susannah Stephens which made Moses and Melissa first cousins. When Moses H. Wilson submitted the marriage of Mellissa's sister Malinda to Sherwood Stephens he incorrectly wrote the name Shadrack Stephens. Shadrack was my gr, gr grandfather and was married to Jemima Roy at the time. The first child of Moses and Melissa was Martha A. I know nothing about her. The next child was Josiah E., not Jocyrus. Again, bad spelling. Sampson Wilson was born 1 Dec 1837 and died 23 May 1915. Rebecca Wilson married Stephen Wilson 17 Jul 1860. Write me if you want info on Cyrus Walker Wilson. The second Moses Harkness Wilson was the son of Moses Wilson and Ann Stephens. The Wilson and Stephens family are intermarried many times starting in Henry Co, VA. Your info from the book by William Surber Wilson was given to Surber by Dr. Walter Wayne Smith who worked on the Wilson, Stephens, Hopper and Harris families for over 50 years. You will see his name mentioned on the first page of Surber's book as his source. Surber was the grandson of William Cornell Stephens, Dr. Smith was his gr grandson and I am his gr, gr, gr granddaughter. I have been to Dr. Smith's collection in Rowan Co, NC four times and plan on returning soon. Rosemary >From: "Glenda J.

Rosemary, Thank you for correcting my data.I will correct it in my database. I rely on others to keep me straight. I had not heard of Charles Stewart Parnell. Gosh, that Dr. Smith was a busy man. Viewing his collection of material seems like a good days work. Enjoy yourself as you have in the previous visits. Thanks again. Howard

Hi Rosemary, Thanks for the information. My gg grandfather was Josiah E. Wilson. He married Sarah McQueary. My g grandfather was Silas Huston Wilson, m. Nancy Paul.
