Let's try something new. Anyone with ancestors that came to any county in Mississippi in the 1800's, Let us post info on these people. It might help knock down some brick walls. I have a John Wilson in Lawrence Co. Ms. He appears in 1824 around Fair River. He married Mary Jane Norman in 1827 or 1824. John was on the will of Benjamin Wilson also on Fair River. Benjamin died in 1835, John was no longer head of household on the 1840 census in Lawrence Co. Ms. John Wilson and Mary Jane had at least on son Rodolphus born in 1838. Mary Jane had a first marriage to Hiram Norman, they had at least two children. Since the counties were growing and some boundiers change I though anyone with Wilson's in this time span would be helpful to others. I don't know where my John came from, or what happen to him. Thanks for reading this. John Wilson
