This is the census from 1850 Overton county.. hope it isn't too messed up.. I think that the Alexander that is listed is the Ruben A. Wilson listed by my grandfather on my great grandmothers death certificate. He married an Amelia Lea in Overton County. I have a picture of her fathers home but on the back my grandmother just wrote his name and east TN. That is how I started looking for this branch of the family.. nothing else to go on. Been an uphill battle. Am told that Overton County was a burned county and not many records. Sorry for the long post everyone. LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE SEX RACE OCCUP. VAL. BIRTHPLACE MRD. SCH.
