    1. [WILSON] Clemmons/Clemens/Clements - Wilson Connection; AL & GA in mid 1800's
    2. Tom Dunklin via
    3. Still looking for direct line descendants to William Clemmons ( one of several different spellings ) who was living in Scottsboro, Jackson Co AL in mid to late 1800's and in Tulsa Co OK in the early to mid 1900's. Believe his middle name was Henry but not sure. He seems to have married my great aunt, Manerva/Minerva Jane Wilson, sometime between 1873 and 1880. Believe her to be his 2nd wife. They were on the 1880 Jackson Co AL census along with 2 children from Minerva's first marriage to David Windrix/Wenrich in 1869. These children are mistakenly enumerated as Dollie and William Clemens but are actually the children of Minerva (nicknamed Mattie) and David Windrix. This family can be found in Scottsboro on the 1870 census. Minerva/Mattie died before 1899. The confusion regarding William Clemmons/Clemens 2nd and 3rd wives is understandable as he married his 3rd wife in 1899 and her name was Mattie Jane. They appear on the 1900 Scottsboro, Jackson Co AL census. However, her full name was Mattie Jane BROWN! This Mattie Jane Brown Clemens died in 1936 and is buried in Tulsa OK. William died in 1939 and is also buried in Tulsa OK. William and Mattie Jane Brown Clemens were in OK after 1900 according to census records. The reason for this query is to learn what information direct descendants of William Clemens might have regarding the Abraham Wilson that is shown living with William and Mattie J BROWN Clemens in 1900 Scottsboro, Jackson Co AL. I believe he is Minerva Jane Wilson Clemens brother and my great gfather. If it is her brother, it seems strange that he would show up at the home of his ex brother-in-law after her death. Abraham Wilson was born ca 1852-3 and disappeared in 1874 leaving his family to wonder where he went. An old family story said he was killed by an unknown person and his body buried in unknown location. Personally, I don't think this is true. I believe that at least by 1900, we have found him in William Clemen's home. Hopefully one of William's line can provide some clues as to who this Abraham Wilson really was. Any and all help appreciated, Paula Sent from my iPad PAULA DUNKLIN
