WILSON QUERY Too many WILSONs. I've two lines (not sure they are connected). My web page has most of my data base listed. They mostly range from Washington Co., PA across the northern panhandle of WV, and into the Ohio Lands of Jefferson, Harrison, and Belmont Counties, OH. Mostly early and difficult to follow a paper trail of early 1800s and late 1700s. If any of these Wilson appeal to you - just ask: http://home.comcast.net/~krutillaja/names6.htm#WILSON My brick wall WILSONs are Robert b. 1814 Mt. Pleasant, Jeff. Co., OH (census showing father born PA). http://home.comcast.net/~krutillaja/fam00173.htm I feel he is connected to one of the two Thomas WILSONs that lived next door. and Margaret Ann b. 1812 PA (not a proven connection to George Wilson). She lived along the PA/VA(WV) border, her husband, Robert STEWART a miller operated the Applegate Mill in Wash. Co., PA. http://home.comcast.net/~krutillaja/fam00341.htm PS - My web page may not work this week, Comcast is currently updating their system. Try again later if necessary. At this moment - it's fine! ;) Wishing everyone a new found ancestor, Julia >(snip) . . .Does anyone have any WILSON families who migrated to >Tuscarawas or Harrison Counties Ohio around 1815 to 1830?? > >Half of my Wilson ancestors were born in PA and the other half in >OH.?

Does anyone have any WILSON families who migrated to Tuscarawas or Harrison Counties Ohio around 1815 to 1830?? Half of my Wilson ancestors were born in PA and the other half in OH.? They married in Tuscarawas and Harrison Counties but I have been unsuccessful to match them to any WILSON families in Tuscarawas or Harrison Counties. It's a shot in the dark, but does anyone have family that migrated West from PA and had a stopover in Tuscarawas or Harrison counties?? My Wilson's include: William B. Wilson, born 1811 PA, married Sarah Hill in 1831 Tuscarawas County OH James Wilson, born 1815 PA, married Susan Hill in 1837 Tuscarawas County OH John B. Wilson, born 1818 PA, married Letticia Jones in 1840 Harrison County OH Robert Wilson, born?1820 OH, married Jane Riggs in 1847 Meigs County OH David Wilson,?born 1825 OH, married Ruth Hutton in 1847 Meigs County OH Thanks in advance, Rick Wilson New York, NY rwilson7@aol.com ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.

I'm curious about the above subject as I have had reason to re-search tax rolls of late. Does someone have any information on the why of it? I came across the list in a book of the same title at the local library and found familiar names in it although it is not as detailed as the regular tax rolls. Any! information is appreciated & many thanks.

While researching for one of our "lost" Sprowls in Kansas in 1878-1880's I have located Martin S. Sprowls. Seems he was the attorney for the county of Kingman, and became "partners" in a land scheme with E. A. KARR (or his brother E. M. KARR) and R.G. McClain. All 3 were arrested and once bonded out seems that Sprowls disappeared. Turns out that Sprowls coat was found by Pinkerton detective with a hole in the back. WOW In researching this story, I find that the father of Karr was originally from Washington Co.PA. NOW - from family trees submitted to Ancestry World Tree Project I have located tha parents of Elihu Alley KARR and brother Eldridge Milton KARR. (I believe Eldridge Milton Karr to be the partner, since the name of Milton was used in a history I have located.) Seems "very" bad blood between Sprowls and brother of "Milton" Karr. (per 1880 census for Vinita Twp., Kingman Co.,KS both Karr brothers are listed in addition to another brother William..) According to the trees I located, parents of these Karr fellows were William A. KARR, born March 24, 1813 and Amanda PEACE HOPKINS. (Have also seen maiden name of Amanda as PEES/PEAS). She was born 1814-1815 Nicholad Co., KY. Elihu was born 1846 Indiana; Milton abt. 1852 Iowa and William Henry Karr b. abt. 1850 Iowa. Am searching for Karr researchers who may have further info or who would like further info. Seems that Sprowls, Karr and McClain forged mortgage deeds to amount of $2,500.00 . Interesting, since according to Kingman Co. history land was selling for $1.25 per acre in 1871. A researcher I contacted in that county sent me copies of the trial transcripts from the newspapers and seems that one of the brothers of Milton Karr did NOT get along with Sprowls and Sprowls felt the same. (as both stated that if they saw the other that he would kill him - well, Sprowls coat with the bullet holes was found a mile from the farm of that Sprowls brother!!). I paid $36.50 for this research and am so excited. No other family trees I have located have had any info on Martin S. Sprowls, so another lost soul located. Interestingly, sister of Martin was Louise Sprowls. She married a William Stewart and had visited the county during the trial. (Wm. Stewart d. in 1880, I am told). Wife of Elihu was a STEWARD. Am wondering if mispellings and if could be related. Thanks for any leads or contacts. Ruth Sprowls

BARNES, MOORE, DUFFY William A. BARNES, aged 78 years, died at this home in Liberty street on Tuesday evening, October 21, at 7:45 o'clock after an illness of seven months. He had been ailing for the past two years and since April of this year his condition had grown much worse, resulting in his death. Mr. BARNES was a son of Francis BARNES of Virginia. His mother, before marriage, was Miss Mary J. FORRESTER of Maryland. He was born and reared in Mt. Pleasant township, and had spent practically all of his life in Washington County. Mr. BARNES was twice married. His first wife was Miss Mary J. PATTON of near Canonsburg, to whom he was married on May 15, 1866. To this union five children were born.

In 1872 he was united in marriage with Miss Mary REED of Butler County. In 1877 the family moved to Washington County, locating on a farm near Venice.
