Has any done any research specifically on these lines, as to the first Wilsons or Fords in the county? Are there wills or probate records that list sons and daughters? I have a William E. Ford and a Harriett Wilson of Itawamba County that I would love to connect up with a family. Thanks for your help, Jeanie Nance >I I too am looking for WILSON. My gg gf Francis M FOLKNER went to Itawamba Co, MS with his widdowed mother Hortins Bishop FOLKNER & some of his 14 siblings after his father's death in 1859/60 Limestone Co, AL. Francis M married Agness FOMON there & had 3 daughters & 2 sons, & he named his 2nd son Wilson b 1864, known as Uncle Wills. Trying to learn where the WILSON name came from. Anyone having info on the BISHOP WILSON FOMON or FOLKNER families of Itawamba in the mid to late 1800's, I could sure use the help. Marolyn Folkner Howell
