Good Morning Wilson Researchers! Maybe we oughta change the subject to ( GENEALOGY:-) <big smile> Is there ANY one out there from the Newberry County South Carolina line of Wilson's??? IF so, could you Pleaseeeee list them? Thank you so much and have a Wonderful Day!!! RELENTLESSLY Looking for Dianna Wilson. And Thomas Pratt Wilson also of Newberry SC. Sincerely, Dianne

Do You have a Thurzya Estes of Tennessee married to a John Denton? In about 1850 they moved to Fayette County, Illinois. I am told that she was the 2nd wife to John Denton and had about 11 children between Tennessee and Illinois and that some of the sons married Wilsons. It is my understanding that the Estes family migrated from VA to TN but started out in England. Lori

Stay, Sandy! Let the ignorant one leave the list. Terry C NJ

I saw your post and will take it with me when I go to Blount County Tn., here in the next few weeks to do research on my Thompson and Wilson's. I just yesterday got a copy of my great grandfather Alexander Huston Wilson's death certificate and it lists his parents as Michal and Mary (Stansbury ?) WIlson, both born in TEnnessee so I am going ot try and see if I can get a birth, death, marriage some kind of certificate on them and also check out the census records for them to maybe find out their other children. Will let you know if I have any luck maybe I can find something for you also Sandy ----- Original Message ----- From: <pkcb113@bellsouth.net> To: <WILSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [WILSON-L] WILSONs early 1800s Tn. > I want to keep your message for several reasons. > > 1.

I meant for that earlier email to go to Jim Adams Please excuse the error.

I personally want to thank each and every one of you who has stood behind me and I want to thank you all for making me feel so welcome. Whether she wants it or not, I have forgiven Pat as I know we all have our bad days and I should have just kept my mouth shut and let it slide, but that is my big mouth problem that i am trying to overcome LOL but I will be remailing with list with pleasure. If anyone out there is looking for Wilsons in Fayette, Marion and Clay Counties here in Illinois and a few Effingham, I have walked many many cemeteries and i also have several research books so if I can be of any help let me know.

Pat: I noticed on another e-mail to you that someone suggested that your "L" might be an "H". You may have already thought of this, but I'd like to suggest my way of solving these "old handwriting" problems on the censuses. I look all around on that page (and others before and after) for that same style of letter, to compare it with. Hopefully, it will be in a name that there is no doubt in your mind what letter it is. I've used this method several times to successfully solve the problem you've mentioned.

I emailed you a few weeks ago about my ancestor Rebecca Wilson that married Adam Farmer (died on the steamship, Sultana in 1865) in Blount Co. Your William K Farmer was a brother to my Adam's father, Joseph b 1803. While you are researching your Rebecca, please keep an eye out for mine as I am desperately looking for her parentage. My Rebecca was born around 1835 in TN. I will do the same for you. I am just emailing you again since I saw your latest posting about your computer failures in case you lost my name and email. Sue Stanfill

Sandy, Who are you replying to? I may be the Estes person you are referring to but I wasn't sure. My Estes line dates back to Nicholas Ewstas b.1495 of England. My fathers came from Arkansas.

Janice, I have Barnhill's in my line also. They come thru my Estes line or my dad paternal side. My Wilson's are on my dad's material side. My Barnhill ancestor was Margaret "Peggy" Barnhill. She was the daughter of Alexander Barnhill of South Carolina. Margaret married Gallant Estes and they settled in Tennessee. After Gallant died in the Creek Indian Wars on 1812 Margaret remarried to Joel Mears in 1835. Are you related to this branch of Barnhill's?

Hi All, Recently I posted info which appears on-line in the: Tennessee State Library & Archives Historical & Genealogical Information: The following WILSONs (Cherokee) were granted "TN citizenship" in 1833, apparently all on the same "hearing/document". While It does not list the County, if they are my family, it is likely they were in or near Blount County Tn... I suspect the listed Rebecca is my GGG Grandmother(b.1796-97) who wed Wm. K FARMER in 1818 in Blount County. Rebecca is the only WILSON of whom I have any info. If I have not lost my genealogy files, it is likely I have a couple hundred of Rebecca's (FARMER) descendants. *************************************************** WILSON Alexander WILSON Anderson WILSON Archibald WILSON Elizabeth WILSON George jr. WILSON John WILSON Lucy B. WILSON Mary WILSON Rebecca WILSON William Also listed is George WILSON granted a divorce, 1833. Due to serious computer problems and two hurricane threats here in the Florida panhandle, I have not yet had time to even TRY to restore my Email incoming folder. I received two emails regarding my previous posting and if those who sent them will contact me anew, i'll certainly keep in touch. I believe these WILSONs were Cherokee Indians. My intention is to request info from the State Archives very shortly, in the meantime, those of you who are/were interested in this and/or my posting of three weeks ago (which essentially was the same as this query) please resend your original email. I suspect these WILSONs are one family. Does anyone have info which could tie them as one? perhaps a Census of 1800-1810 profile? Due to great difficulties erasing the "C" drive, re- installing and problems with Outlook Express, I have been sooooo busy. This is my surname "string". WILSON/FARMER FARMER/AMOS AMOS/DANTIC DANTIC/ADAMS Thanks all, Jim A.

Karen Moore Kerr, As your GGG Grandfather Ludson WILSON was likely of the era of early 1800s, could it be that "old handwriting" on Censuses has caused a mis-interpretation of the "L"? May I make a suggestion?Unless you have infro which locks the spelling as an "L", perhaps you should look for Hudson WILSON? Quoting your email: [I have never seen even a trace of my ggg grandfather, Ludson Wilson.] A WILSON cousin, Jim

Hello! Would like more information on Jonathan William Wilson b- 1852- Portsmith, Scioto Co., OH. to David Wilson, either David or his father was a REV.. Catherine Brandt was either his mother or his step mother, not sure. Can anyone help? Most of his children were born in/near Ozark, MO. Thanks, Vickie

No, there is no Hiram in the family. The youngest child, William, was born about 1856. The father also William Wilson died before the 1860 census. My Wilson family was the only one in Randolph Twp at that time, but there were many Wilsons living in Dayton, Ohio also in Montgomery County.

I have a couple that I have not been able to track down: Joseph Martin Wilson, b. Feb. 7, 1855; and Charles Henry Wilson, b. 1862. Both were from Charlestown, Ma, and moved to California. On reportedly was a lawyer and the other "a government official."

I am sure Patty must feel badly after pouncing so quickly on Sandy's post. We all have bad hair days occasionaly. I have thought of unsubscibing many times, because though I read every email, I have never seen even a trace of my ggg grandfather, Ludson Wilson. I just know one day, that someone is going to discover him in their tree and I will finally be able to do" the I found family dance" around my computer desk. (Kind of like the maccerana sp?) I do not want anyone to quit the list. That would just lower my odds at finding my ancestor. :) Karen Moore Kerr __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

It seems as if someone has too many irons in the fire and their nerves may be a bit frayed. We are all serious in our research into our families. But we can certainly forgive and forget the mistakes we encounter along the way. My delete button works quite fine for any "mistakes" I do not wish to read or bother with. But I am sure we have all hit the wrong key here and there from time to time. Lets all get back to the subject for which the list was created and that is the Wilson family. I think someday we will find we are all related at some point, so lets act like it. Walt Wilson P.S. Lets also remember to not just hit the reply button to respond. The rest of the list is not likely interested in seeing the entire message repeated endlessly back and forth. Thanks. >

Dear Sandy, I'm sorry that this happened. It definitely could have been handled differently. Most of us don't react like this when someone posts genealogy that is obviously not Wilson.
