My ancestor is John Monroe Wilson b. 1849 probably in AR to William R. Wilson and mother unknown to us! I also have no information on siblings of my J M Wilson. He married Lucinda Emma "Lucy" Abbott - 1/2 Cherokee. Their children are Leslie Ervin Wilson b. 1878 in Duffau, Erath Co., TX; William Ray Wilson b. 1882 in Zephyr, Brown Co., TX; Estelle Marge Wilson b. 1884 Zephyr, Brown Co, TX; Talmage Dewitt Wilson b. 1887 Zephyr, Brown Co., TX; John Wesley Wilson b. 1890 Zephyr, Brown Co., TX. John and Lucy Wilson left Brown Co., TX for Palo Pinto Co., TX around 1890. While JM had been the 1st Post Master and 1st Merchant and 1st Worshipful Master of the Masonic Temple in Zephyr, for some unknown to us reason...he was working in the Thurber Coal Mine in 1894 when there was a collapse, killing him. His family remained in the Mineral Wells/Grant/Mingus area of Texas where Lucy died in 1921. Please email me with the info in the letter you have...the siblings of your William...anything else? Perhaps I've at least come across your Wilsons in my research? Looking forward to hearing from you. pwilson411@aol.com Peggy Sue http://members.aol.com/pwilson411/indexe.html
