My William M.(Morgan?) WILSON died before May 1864, as that is when his estate was settled in Salisbury, Rowan Co., NC. There is a W. MORGAN WILSON shown in Co. C, 8th NC Regiment from Rowan Co. NC; he was said to have died in Salisbury while home on furlough, possibly of wounds/disease--no date given (Jethro Rumple Roll of Honor in his History of Rowan Co. NC). I do not know if this is the same person as my William M. WILSON as Rumples' ages don't match the 1850 census exactly. However, it seems like a great coincidence. Does anyone know anything about this man or this Civil War Confederate Unit? Betty Pace
