My last option was to call Dr. Rohweder's office to see if we could connect. I have no pictures. You might have a large picture of Capt Billy Wilson, that my gggrandmother Imogene, Billy's daughter, willed to her sister, your gggrandmother(?) Hattie WILSON BACKUS. See attached translation of the handwritten note found with Imogene's will in Medina. I was going down to Medina today but the weather is not good. Tomorrow I head to the Western Reserve Society in Cleveland to work on Imogene's husband Albert THOMAS and Capt Wm "Billy" WILSON (So. Brooklyn, Brighton, Brooklyn) our connection (Imogene and Hattie are sisters). I have lots of lineage info. Do you have a copy of the book "In Memory of Capt. Wm Wilson - Complete History of Grandparents and Parents Back to 1776"? My cousin has Capt Billy's sword. The picture of John WILSON and people in front of the shop is probably! his Match Factory. I saw the pic in a book in Medina but forgot to copy it. Send me your email address and I will send my telephone number. Are you in Ohio? I am in Vermilion OH.
