I have a marriage bond from Wilson Co.TN. dated Sept. 29 1845 where she married my GGGrandfather George Weston Lea/Lee

I'm searching for Houston Bussell who was born in 1830 and was in the 1850 census for Wilson Co., Tn. Is he the Houston Bussell who married Angievine Andrews probably in Marshall Co. (Holly Springs), Ms? He was a blockade runner in the Civil War and was killed in a Red River, La. battle. I'd love to share info. June

Does anyone out there know whether there are any Chathams presently living in Wilson County?. My grgrandfather, Isaac Chatham was listed in the 1850 Wilson County Census, and I am wondering if there might be descendents of his children Benjamin, James ,William, Namcy and Mary stilol living in the county William was my grandfather, and he died in Nashville in 1911. Benjamin has some descendents in VA. James was in a TN infantry outfit in the Civil War, and was killed at the Battle of Chicamauga..Mary was married, and I do not know what happened to Nancy. If anyone knowws of any Chathams presently living in Wilson County, I would appreciate help in getting in touch with them. I live in Davidson County.

I just finished extensive research on a 1916 murder trial that took place in Cannon County. Don't forget that TN was pretty lawless - esp outside of town. Even into the 1920's the sherrif preferred to stay within the city or town limits. Have you checked the local court house? Any newspapers published or a school newspaper (if it was near a college the college may have an archive)? Other than posting it as you have done I can make no more suggestions as to finding information. My father has several old old books published in TN around the turn of the century that give history of different counties - recount some murders. I do not have access to the books (I'm in MI the books are in Florida) but you might try the historical society and see if they have any old publications. Good luck.

Good Day, Can someone provide me with a will abstract for Elizabeth Gatton? Also looking to see if she died in Wilson County. This is a bit confusing so I will do my best to explain. Apparently her will is located in settlement book #3 (I don't have a date --sorry) but do know that she died in 1872 (she would have been 86). All my research indicates that she died in Lawrence Co, MO, but her will was in Wilson Co TN. So I am trying to pinpoint where she died. Her two sons from MO contested her estate and were paid for supposedly taking care of her, but I have yet to locate her ever living with them. Thank you for your time.

Hearns that migrated to TN generally dropped the final e. I have many Hearns in Wilson Co. and other places. Be interested in exchanging info. Bob Cummings

Christine, I have Hearn's from Wilson County but so far none of them seem to have an "e" on the end of the name. However, they are Eli M. Hearn who married lst Elizabeth Carney and next Clara Jane Climer. His father was John. Any relation or connection with your Wilson County branch. mary

HI. Great website! Alot of data. But when I tried to download the GEDCOM file for William Hearne it would not do it. It only loaded to the screen the file in all it's coded text. I am descended from George and Tabitha Skeen Hearn, through their daughter Sarah b. 1796 NC. Sarah married Hugh Campbell in Wilson Co, TN 1816. My 'brick wall' is Hugh's father James from Kentucky originally from Scotland. Thanks again.
