These are the exact families I am trying to draw together. Josiah Nelms was the son-in-law of Ann Wilson Cotton. He had been named gdn of Josiah Wilson and his sister Harriet, niece and nephew of Ann Wilson Cotton after the death of their first guardian, their Uncle William Wilson, Ann's brother. On the second record, Joshua Wilson exr, was the father of witness, John R. Wilson. William Dickens the other exr, was the brother of Elizabeth Dicken Wilson, wife of William Wilson mentioned above and mother of Lewis Dicken Wilson for whom Wilson Co NC is named. It takes a lot of work to sort out these Wilsons! Thank you again for the help.
