Looking for the following individuals please: Elizabeth Wilson married to Sterling Howell in Sumner County Tn on 16 April 1818. Her bondsman was listed as M. W. Wilson, which is Montelion/Montellion Wilson. I have found land grants for Montelion in both Mississippi (Choctaw Land Grants 1832, 1835 & 1840) and Arkansas ( Swamp Land Grants 1860) . I am trying to find any information on this family since I believe that Sterling Howell & Elizabeth Wilson are the parents of my gggg-grandmother Sarah E. Howell born in 1833 in Sumner County TN. Any help on these folks would be greatly appreciated. thank you Robin Holt rlholt_ky@yahoo.com or holt@vci.net

Can you PLEASE look up Nathaniel Parker or his son Nathaniel Parker Jr. -- Proud member of IBSSG

The entry below that I submitted is an actual transcription from the book. There is no other info. 1. It appears that the will was proven Oct. 11, 1831. That's the only date on the entry. 2.
