Clara and Ron, Thanks for the reply. I can't determine if Samuel would be connected to my Abram Wilson or not. His children included: Benjamin W. E. Wilson (I've never found a Benjamin with those initials)born ca 1829 SC Mary M born ca 1836-37 SC (It's been suggested that perhaps Sarah Wilson was a 2nd wife since there is 7-8 year age difference between Benjamin & Mary) Abby/Abigail, born ca 1838 SC Martha A, born ca 1839 SC James, born ca 1841 SC Susan/Susan C, born ca 1843 GA Jerry M, born ca 1845 GA Minerva Jane, born ca 1849 GA Sarah E, born ca 1849 GA Abraham/Abram, born ca 1852-53 GA I don't know when this family left SC but looking at birth dates and locations, I would guess between 1841-1843. If they settled in Walker Co GA first thing, I don't know but they were in West Amunchee, Walker Co GA for that 1850 census and in DeKalb Co AL for the 1860 census. I with a name like Wilson, I wish they had been named something else.

This might be redundant but it came up showing that it had not been sent.

It had exactly 1 item in it, the obit for Sarah Olive Wilson Davison. Some spellings are Davidson. It is not a good copy, but I think I made it at the Allen County Genealogical Library in Ft. Wayne IN. There must have been something in front of me because I copied off the pertinent information. Sarah Olive was born to William E. and Mary (James) Wilson in Rush County, IN on Oct. 23, 1844. From the Davison Family Bible, it shows she married John A. Davison on Dec. 25, 1865. She passed away on June 10, 1900, age 75 years, 7 months, 12 days. They had 3 sons and 6 daughters. John preceded her in death as did 2 sons and 2 daughters. The obit also states that she was left an orphan at the age of 3 at the death of her mother. Her father and brother both died in the Civil War. I have seen and photographed John's and Emma's monuments at the Stipps Hill Cemetery in Salt Creek Twp, Franklin County, IN. I saw no sign of Sarah and the obit does not mention where she was interred. Will Moster (now Moster and Sons) conducted the service so them might be able to add some information. They are located in Rushville, IN. Sarah and John are my great-grandparents as their daughter Fanny was my grandmother. I plan to go to Ft.

Mary Anne: I couldn't help but be intrigued by your email (via RootsWeb). Versions of Olive/Oliver have cropped up in various of my Wilson ancestors. My 2G grandfather, John Wilson, was reputedly born in Switzerland County, Indiana, in 1813. He married Mahala Scott in Swit. Co., in 1835. They named their 4th child Olive Orilla Wilson. They moved to Holt Co., MO, in about 1842, then on to Oregon in 1851 (my great grandfather, James Thomas Wilson, was their 10th child, and was about one year old when they went to Oregon). John had an older brother, Robert Wilson, born 1810. He married Ruby Orella Pierson in Hanock Co., IN, in 1833, and became a merchant in Raysville, Henry Co., IN. Robert's first son was named Oliver H. Wilson, and he was living in John and Mahala's home in the 1860 Linn Co., OR, census. Oliver H. was born in 1839, and we found him at home in the 1850 census, as a child of Robert and Ruby Orella Wilson in Raysville, Henry Co., IN. Robert Wilson's, and my John Wilson's, father appears to be William Wilson, who with his brother, Robert Wilson, Jr. (another "Robert"), were early settlers in Hancock Co., IN, moving there in the mid to late 1820s. (I've not proven this William is my 3G grandfather, but I haave a lot of clues that point to him as my 3rd---and none that deny it.) After about 16 to 18 years in Hancock Co., IN, this William moved his large family to Jasper Co., Illinois---and subsequently died within a couple years of moving there. He and several of his married children, all lived in the Willow Hill Township of Jasper Co., IL. Now to Greensburg. I see that it is the county seat of Decatur Co., Indiana. I found a William C. Wilson, who married Luticia Jones in Shelby Co., IN, then they resided in Decatur Co., IN, until about 1851 or 52, when they and their young family moved to the Willow Hill Township in Jasper Co., Illinois. For a while I thought he might be a son of "my" William (who died in Jasper Co., as mentioned), but now I believe William C. must be a nephew. When I looked at the 1860 census to find William C. Wilson in Jasper Co., I discovered he was only three houses away from Catherine Wilson Everman and her husband, one of "my" William's older daughters. "My" William's father appears to be the Robert Wilson, Rev. War soldier, who petitioned for a Rev. War pension in 1833, after living 6 or 7 years in Hancock Co., Indiana. In the 1840 census of Hancock Co., he was one of the two Rev. War soldiers still alive and living in Hancock Co., IN. He was 95 in 1840. He was born in Augusta Co., Virginia. I have a copy of a will for a John Oliver, who died in 1791, in Augusta Co. He named a Robert Wilson, apparently a favorite son-in-law, to be his Executor. I've not proven it yet, but I half-way suspect that this is the same Robert Wilson, Rev. War soldier, who was 95 in the 1840 census of Hancock Co., Indiana (and who would be my 4G grandfather). If this Robert's wife is an Oliver, that would explain why the name Oliver/Olive crops up several times amongst my Wilson ancestors. My apologies for the long dialogue. But I felt I needed to explain enough that it would make sense to you. Is your Olive Sarah's last name, or a middle name? Is he a Wilson, or married to a Wilson? And do you see any possibilities of your Wilsons connecting to mine? If they appear to be related, perhaps we can provide answers for each other. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

My Wilson family genealogy states that James Cunningham Wilson ( born 1618 Scotland- 1672 Calvert Co Maryland), son of George Wilsone & Alisoun married Margaret P.Gott ( 1628 Scotland- 1696 Prince George Co. Maryland) and that their son James ( 1660 Maryland - abt. 1716 Maryland) married Margaret Kidd. I found many family trees that list Margaret Kidd as the wife of the father James Cunningham Wilson. I'm pretty sure I have the linage right, but am confused when I see so many other lines saying differently. Can any one ( with sources) tell me which marriage is correct? Many Thanks for any information Joanne Mack, Salem, Oregon
I'm looking to connect with anyone researching the following Wilson families who lived on the border of Harrison and Jefferson Counties in Ohio from the 1830s through 1850s.

Bill I too use both ancestry and find-a-grave, sharing information, sponsoring family memorials, adding photos etc. What change if any do you see coming if Ancestry purchases the here to for free find-a-grave site? I had not heard about that although Ancestry is advertising every where now. I have been a member for a long time and find them and fold 3 very informative. My William L Wilson [1840-1933 Va, WV, & Ohio] does not seem to fit your discussion group but I have been reading the posts. Vernon Simmons
Hi Dennis, Don't forget that a memorial manager might also be related to the person in question, and not want to transfer the memorial, even to someone closer related than the person making the transfer request. That creates a double situation: 1. The requester may be upset. 2. The requester may be elated to have made contact with another cousin! Thay might just have opened a door to obtaining more info from the person who posted the memorial though direct communication. I absolutely LOVE to be able to swap GEnealogical Data COMmunication (GEDCOM) files with another researcher! Unfortunately, since Ancestry has come along, many persons do not have a personal genealogical program in their computer, and therefore cannot utilize an incoming GEDCOM, and have no way of creating one to share. (:<(( Some contributors will transfer any memorial they have posted if it is not in their own family, and state exactly that on their profile page, while some seem to think that every memorial they have posted is theirs forever. I have been in contact with both extremes. (:<)) AND (:<(( Some contributors spend WAY too much time posting info in their own profile to give instructions to other contributors. I DO NOT find favor with that. Any/all such instruction is posted by FAG in their FAQs. I am active enough in my family history pursuits that I frequently discover memorials for persons who are WAY outside of my 4 generation direct ancestor group. My goal is not to become manager of all of those memorials, but if/when I can contribute significant info to the memorial - outside of the newly added "auto edit" feature which allows me to directly enter "suggested" updates for Names & Dates that FAG has created - such as links and important bio info, then I will try using the "Edit, SAC" feature to contact the contributor. If/when I do contact the contributor, I normally ID my relation to the person in question, and provide updates, then let them know that if they are NOT related, I would be happy to make the updates if they wanted to transfer the memorial to me. Some do. Some don't. Bill Harrison 47153789 On Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:33:39 -0800 (PST) dennis wilson <dpw928@sbcglobal.net> writes: Larry, I've seen FAG contributors banned for intentional duplicates.

Hi Larry, Thanks for posting your lineage as can be found linked on FAG. My point was that in order for the memorials to be linked, the manager of the memorial for a son has to be the one to make the link to the father, and that is done by entering the FAG Grave ID# of the father on the "Edit Relationship Information" which is a page only available to the manager of the son's memorial. A link cannot be made from a father's memorial to a son's memorial, other than to identify the FAG Memorial # within the Biographical area of a memorial by using HTML text according to FAG's guidelines which I posted.
