Look for the link to "Ten Wilson Brothers from Mecklenburg County NC" I believe the Joseph Wilson who married Sarah White was not related to Robert and Eleanor Wilson.

Does anyone know who the Tom Link road was named after???? I have a Thomas W. Link in my tree several times, just was curious if it was him. --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo! Get on-the-go sports scores, stock quotes, news & more. Check it out!

I am still trying to find information on Sanford & Margaret Fitts family. I have them in the 1880 Sumner Co, TN census as Sanford 33, Margaret A 25, Katie 6, Adella 3. Then I find Margaret and Katie in Gallatin Cemetery burials. I would like to know when Sanford and Adella died and if anyone knows if either of the girls ever married. I would also like to find out if Sanford or Margaret had a will, estate settlement, land divided between surviving relatives--something that would help me find out what happened to the two daughters. My great great grandmother was named as Allie Fitts on her daughter's death certificate and I know that Joe/Josiah Miller (the father)was in Sumner County and this Adella is the only possibility I can find as Allie. If anyone has information about this family or has access to records to check for a will, estate settlement, or land division, I would greatly appreciate it! Jeannie Parks Cohea
