Colleen, It's POSSIBLE that Samuel H Wilson is a brother to Benj D Cooksey's wife, Belle (Wilson) Cooksey. She was b. Sep 1863, and her parents, James E Wilson and Eliza A (Lawrence) Wilson, married 1849 in Davidson Co., TN. I haven't proven it yet, as can't find them in old census's, but will look more..

THANKS! I'll explore that clue - if you find anything new, let me know. Samuel H. WILSON's tombstone lists him as a M.D. Do you know anything about that? Are you a COOKSEY descendant? -----Original Message----- From: sagsspot@aol.com To: tnsmith@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, Apr 26, 2010 8:53 pm Subject: Re: [TNSMITH] WILSON and COOKSEY Family Colleen, It's POSSIBLE that Samuel H Wilson is a brother to Benj D Cooksey's ife, Belle (Wilson) Cooksey.
