My great great grandfather George Madison Wilson born 1830 Wayne County kentucky settled in Hart County kentucky carrying a fiddle and 2 hunting dogs. He had lived in Poplar Bluff Missouri, Harrison County Indiana with his Aunt Diana Wilson Crezelous, across the Ohio in Meade County, Kentucky, Then Owensboro (Davies County, Kentucky) before settling in Hart and Edmonson County, Kentucky. Some of the Harps from Whitley and knox County settled nearby. I believe they were kin but never figured it out. George's mother was Caty Freshour and on his death record states his father was John Thomas Wilson. Years ago I found a record in Blount County Tennessee that stated that John thomas Wilson had a sister named Diana Crezelous. That means that John and Diana are the children of David Wilson of Greene County Tennessee. Diana was about 15 when she married John Crezelous. John Wilson married Caty Freshour in 1819 and they divorced in Mon! roe County, Tenn. John Thomas Wilson lived in Blount County. I find 3 John Thomas Wilsons on the Blount County Tax Records. One born 1774 and married 2nd Isabella Lyn (McLinn). One born 1789 and one born 1801 who married Margaret Henderson. The one who married Margaret Henderson died young and she moved to Oregon. The one born 1774 died on Bakers Creek in Blount County and is buried at the Bakers Creek Presbyterian Church. George Madison Wilson is burried in Hart County on the family farm. He was a weaver by trade. His mother is burried at the Pine Grove Cemetery. The family was Methodist Episical South in Hart County. The old wilson family was Presbterian and the Freshour family was Lutheran. So by the will I tie Diana burried in Harrison County, John Thomas Wilson, Peter Wilson(probably the oldest boy). I don't know much about George or David or the girls except one of the sisters(a coffett) died in Monroe County Tenn after leaving Knox County Tenn. Some of the family went to Indiana and others in Whitley County. I believe John Thomas Wilson was one of the younger boys because of the marriage in 1819. David I believe was older probably born 1774. I believe George was older, he went to Alabama with his wife's people. I have been working on this family for about 35 years. It has been a big puzzle with bits coming in little pieces. Winston Wilson 140 springhill Dr. SpringHill Estates Bardstown, Kentucky 40004
