At this time I am primarily researching Wilsons in Jefferson County. Recently I gained information regarding a family in Orleans in 1850. Many details indicate this may be the line I am looking for. My gg grandfather, Henry C. Wilson, was born in Jefferson County in September of 1841. He had a sister Jane Wilson Carter, who was 76, living in Wisconsin in 1910. He also had a sister Caroline Wilson Shaw, who was 83 and living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1910. However this family of Freeman Wilson and Mirinda includes a Jane with a matching birth year and so does Henry have a matching birthyear. Several days ago my brother looked up the 1850 census to verify that the name was Freeman rather than Truman. We know there was a Caroline Wilson, age 23 in 1850, living in Rodman, Jefferson Co. Because of the age we are wondering if she is connected to this family also. In 1861 Henry is in Wisconsin. My next research will be with the 1855 census for New York to see what the county is in which each are born in New York and or to see if the month of birth is indicated. I can't remember if this is given in the state censuses. At various times other lines of my family also have been a part of Jefferson County: Woodards for one, Sischos for another. Karen Wilson Ramsey
