From: <jgpark@juno.com> Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 5:11 PM I don't know if this is any of your Wilson family, but someone sent this from the WPA records of Lawrence County at the Mississippi Archives. I have had people tell me of more than one Wilson Cemetery, have you found any in Monticello that are your family? I would appreciate it if you run across any Keegan names. Lawyers Of The Past. Judge Aloysius M. Keegan, a lawyer of considerable prominence in this county in the 1820's and 1830's, was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1832. A circular issued by him addressed "To the Voters of Lawrence County, 1833 is in the Department of Archives and History at Jackson. Judge Keegan's son, John Keegan, was also a brilliant lawyer, but was killed in the courthouse at Monticello by Mr. Willis before he had reached the height of his career. Members of the Keegan family ar buried in a lot adjoining the home of Dr. Wison at Monticello. My g-gmother Mary D. Keegan Larkin was a daughter of Judge Aloysius M. Keegan and brother, John E. Keegan. John Keegan was bc. 1825 Monticello, Lawrence Co., MS was in the Civil War and wounded. Their father, Aloysius Michael Keegan died in 1838 in Monticello. We found John Keegan up through 1870 census and think he died about 1874. Best wishes, Gladys
