Surnames: Wilson, Skeen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GMB.2ACI/740.1 Message Board Post: I am trying to find family of Sarah Ann Wilson, born in Alabama, married 24 February, 1842 in Winston, Mississippi, and died in June, 1880 in Attala, Mississippi. She was married to John W. Skeen (b. 1802 in Laurens, SC; d. Aug. 1874, Attala, MS). They appear in the 1850 census for Attala County, MS, along with children Savilla, John W., and Solomon, although they had other children (Amanda Bell, William T. John Anderson, Anna T., James, Caroline, Basheba, and Renora--according to family information). I do not know anything further about the Wilson line, but this may be a connection to your research on James Wilson from Winston County, Mississippi.
