It is frustrating at times because not only do we not have records for Monroe Co., there was a loss of records in Bradley Co. too which is where my lines headed. I have corresponded a little bit with Robert Wilson descendants that have searched in Blount Co., TN. Their Robert Wilson died after 1830 though and the widow, Nancy Wilson b 1777 in VA was not his wife. There might be more than one Robert Wilson though. Still I cannot find which Wilson she was married to. I do suspect that the Wilson and the Carters from my line were in Greene & Blount Co prior to Monroe since my Jacob and Margaret Elizabeth Neiman/Newman Thomas were also from Blount Co. They could have all settled in Monroe about the same time. Then some went into Bradley. I believe Levi Carter's sons Jacob and Jesse D. are listed as Union soldiers from the 9th District in Bradley Co. And also a George, John and R.D. Wilson that could be related to my Nancy Wilson sre also listed as serving. I can hopefully find more detail on them from Civil War Records. Finding Nancy Wilson's children one by one and finding who they married should help. I did see the deed information on-line for Monroe Co and of course even if not my direct line it still helps to rule in or out who might be connected. Thanks so much again for the information.
