Gail: Or anyone that is close to an 1850, 1860 and 1870 Harrison County Census in the near future. (I have to send off to Salt Lake City via the LDS center here in Florence to get one here in about three weeks) I need someone to look up a Joseph W. Wilson on those censuses. According to my "Marriage Records west of the Mississippi" CD#227 there was a Joseph W. Wilson who married a Derena Harvey March 19, 1850. Since my great grandfather Henry C. Wilson b. February 9, 1853 died in 1896, I've only been able to find him on one census which was a Caddo Parish, Louisiana census 1880. They lived at state line in Bethany, Louisiana/Texas. The family was enumerated in 1900 at same location on Panola County, Texas. Henry's wife Hannah Frances (Fanny) Hill was from Marshall and her grandparents Dr. William R. Downs was from Elysian Fields, both in Harrison County. Her father Zachariah worked for the railroad yard when it was first building up. Most of my family in several different lines (Crouch/Hosea/Wilson/Farr) were all railroad men including my dad and grandfather, aunts and uncles. That may be where and how they met and explain why I am having such a hard time tracking down the possible nomads. The 1880 census that I do have states that H. C. Wilson's parents were both born in Mississippi. If someone could look for them on those three censuses to see #1 are Joseph and Devena from Mississippi #2 is there a Henry; H. C. ; H or C male child enumerated with them on the 1860 census that is approximately 7 years of age and 17 in 1870. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
