Surnames: WILSON WELLS Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gMB.2ACI/231.1.1 Message Board Post: >From Alanson's obituary comes the information that he spent the year 1850 in California due to the Gold Rush. He may have been there with a WILSON ancestor of mine. If anyone should have a record of the two of them being there together, I would like to learn of the fact. My guess ... WILSON was not there. However, some researchers have felt this was the case but cannot prove it.
