Hi, Susan, Do you know if your Jesse WILSON and Rachel REED also had a daughter named Ellen, born about the same time? There is also a James WILSON who may be a brother of one or the other or both. They married brother and sister William Cummins CRANSTON and Sarah CRANSTON, respectively, who were from Oxford Twp. S R C A cott obert ranston nderson phssra@physics.emory.edu
