Hello folks. I've been stumped for years. Here is what I have. A John Wilson suddenly appears in Lawrence co. Mississippi. He marries Mary Jane Jenny Norman, in 1827. Her 2nd marriage. She has at least two children. A John Wilson had been on tax list in the 1820's but I can't prove he is the same. I did find where a John Wilson joined the Fair River Baptist church in the 1820's. My thoughts are that John had a brother named Benjamin Wilson, who was a wealthy man in Lawrence County, Who married a Nancy..probably Phillips. All of this was in the 1820's. John is exec. of Benjamin Wilson's will in the 1820's, and 1830's. John and his wife Mary Jane, had a child in 1938, named Rodolphus. The only one I can prove. By 1840 Mary Jane is head of household, I never found John again. Also Benjamin Wilson was a member of the Fair River Baptist church. I can't find a will of John's, or where Mary Jane sold any land in Lawrence County. In 1860 she is living with her son Rodolphus in Pike co. Ms. On by the way John Wilson is my gggrandfather. Thanks. John Wilson b. 1950.
