Surnames: Wilson, Cannon, Bracken Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VlB.2ACE/64.1 Message Board Post: Hi. My ancestor, George W. Wilson settled near Augusta, TX, in Houston County (near Trinity Co.) in 1835. He was born in 1804 in Kentucky?, married Nancy Cannon in 1828 in Lafayette Co, AR, possibly lived in Claiborne Parish, LA in 1830, was tax assessor of St. Francisville, LA around 1834, got a Spanish land grant in Houston County in 1835. He came to Texas with two brothers, James B. Wilson and John Wilson. We don't know where James B. and John ended up in Texas. One of them may have had a child born probably in LA. G.W.Wilson's first child, Easter Wilson, was born in LA. His other children were William J. Wilson, Clarinda Matilda Wilson, Lucinda E. Wilson, and Eliza E. Wilson. Easter Wilson married Benjamin M. Bracken. They lived briefly in Trinity Co. around 1860 according to the census. Then they went back to Houston County. I don't know if any of this is helpful. Marcella Snow Louisiana
