Amazing how stuff comes out of the woodwork!! I am trying to find a LIVING relative of my Wilsons of Mercer County.My grand uncle Everett Wilson lived in East Lackawnock Twsp. He lived on the Mercer Pulaski Road. There was a notoreous murder on the farm that took the life of Everetts wife and mother, as well as a hired hand. This all took place about 1943. Yes, thats the family! This farm was purchased in1804 by John Wilson.He and his wife Grace Miller came from Ireland via Westmoreland County.John (b.1765)and Grace had seven children that we believe came to live in Mercer County. Grace,James,John(Jr),William,Nellie,Charles,and Margaret. We only know the history of James, where are the rest of them? James was born Aug. 11,1790 in Ireland and came to America with his parents. On March 8,1820,James maried Ester Harris of Mahoning County,Ohio. They had six children. William H.,Margaret C.,Isaac Newton,C.,Almon B.,and James L. Almon moved to Ohio and died there, Have no idea what his wifes name was or where children are. Isaac Newton is accounted for, but all his sons are dead with no children bearing the Wilson surname surviveing.Where are James,Phoebe,Margaret,and William?? The 1850 census has a Wilson family in the next house to Almon and James L. I don't know if they are part of the clan. I need help in connecting these two housholds. The head of households date of birth was not listed on the census as it was transcribed.Does anyone have an actual copy? Was there two houses on the same farm in 1850? James may have built a new house, because he married the next year. Why didn't Everett list any of the names, in the second house, in the family history that he wrote?Maybe a family fued? Lots of help needed here. I remember my granduncle Everett mentioning names like"MacDonald and Hogue" I wish I could remember what he said,They were probably hunting and fishing buddys. I get reminded of the names when they appear on the net. Anyone with Wilson family recollections, PLEASE pass 'em on to me. Thanks, David Wilson Waddell,Sr. ( Dave) dwad1939@aol.com
