I have been a member of the Wilson County list since the day it started, it is a very active list with a lot of very helpful members. I discovered, as I had suspected that many families that settled in Wilson County TN after 1800 migrated from Granville County NC. One of the reasons I wanted to activate the Granville County list, was that I thought their was a gap in the possible information chain. As time goes on I seem to find more and more connections to Granville County. I hope there is some one out there who can help Pat.
