Patricia and all, John Dysart was my gggggrandfather; he was the Revolutionary War veteran who fought at King's Mountain. His father, James Dysart (killed in the Revolutionary War) was born in Londonderry, Ireland. John was born in Chester Co., Pennsylvania. He had 15 children by two wives. He is most assuredly your ancestor, too. Yes, the Robert Dysart who m. Susannah Denny was by his first wife, Mary Patton. Andrew Dysart, another son, was my ggggrandfather and he m. Jane Ewing whose ancestors also came from Pennsylvania, by way of Elbert Co., GA. Their daughter, Rebecca Leah Dysart, m. Thomas Pratt Wilson, a schoolteacher and later a Union soldier. He died of smallpox 4/5/65 in Nashville in Hospital No. 11. I don't know much about the Wilsons other than they came from SC to Farmington, probably in the 1820s or 1830s. Their son, Thomas Andrew Sterling Wilson m. Idella Lancaster, daughter of William James Lancaster, a Confederate soldier. (Bet there were some interesting conversations there. : ) ) Their daughter, Vera Rebecca Wilson m. Frank Clair Musgrave, my grandparents. Practically all of these people are buried either in the Bills/Dysart Cemetery or the Temple Cemetery in Farmington. T.P. Wilson was b. in the Nashville National Military Cemetery just off Gallatin Road in Nashville. Other Dysarts, Ewings and Leepers are b. in the Betherei Cemetery, also in Farmington. I hope this may help you and others researching these old Marshall County families. Hi, Bill Allen! <grin> . Sincerely, Bill Massey In F. C. & L. Most sincerely, William R. (Bill) Massey
