Unfortunately, that is all I can say, as there were no records kept of my family that far back. It seems that I am the first descendant from her family of 6 children (39 Grandchildren, etc.) that had any interest in the family's history. I feel much like the little red hen, as everyone in the family wants to know everything now, but nobody did anything and fewer still are helping me now. The only record I've located thus far is the 1900 & 1910 census' where she was married & living with the entire Wilson brood in Troup County, GA. The Troup Co probate court has the marriage licenses for three of her sons, but hers and an oldest daughter weren't. I assume that because of that, and because of a paucity of Sanfords in Troup County, she married & lived elsewhere originally, moving to West Central GA sometime before 1890. I cannot determine if her 1st child, a girl named Francis, came from her union with Mr. Wilson; but then again, I can't determine anything, so this remains par for the course. If nothing else, pray for me. I can only hope I recognize them all when we're called. Dave
