Surnames: WILSON WILLSON WRIGHT FARNSWORTH HAAS BOUGHTON BURDICK McKAIN MASON HOLDEN BEEBE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QFB.2ACE/728 Message Board Post: Etta married my ancestor Amos J WILLSON about 1875 to 1877, probably Barry Co or nearby Allegan, or Kalamazoo. What's known is that their eldest son, George D, was born ~1877 Yankee Springs. All the WILSON and WILLSON burials at Yankee Springs Cemetery are related, married-into or descendants of Ezra D WILLSON and Anna HAAS. Those two are buried at Bowerman Cemetery, Barry County. Ezra's father was Amos, he's buried in Kalamazoo Co. He'd migrated 1832-3 to MI from VT. Of 8 kids, only Ezra migrated to Barry Co, est. late 1860s. Other sons of Etta and Amos are William L "Will" b ~1884 and grandpa Edward Amos "Ed" b 25 July 1892. WILSON daughters -- and I'd love to learn who they married and where they got off to -- are Jennie b ~1880, Maud b ~1883, Lena b ~1886, and Sarah E b ~1890. I got the names and what info I've started with from censuses and whatnot, especially the 1894 MI state census and Barry Co. cemeteries from interment.net and personal visits. George and Will at one time farmed over at Delhi twp, Ingham Co. per 1920 US census & family recall, George returned at least after death, I don't know where Will is buried yet. I also have no idea where grandpa got off to or if he returned from Canada to live, or when and where he died. He left grandma up on the prairie in Alberta Canada with 5 small children still living. Ezra D's other son Ezra A married Amy TURNER 1883; descendents of his son Claud may still be around Barry County. Someone had recently visited WILSON graves before I got there the end of May 2002.
