Sue My Benjamin passed 1/16/1864 in Texas. I descend from his son Sackett D. b: ca 1818 I believe in Tennessee and married Margaret Britton, b: 12/19/1822 Hawkins County, Tennessee. I looked in my data base for a James Wilson, born about 1810 and could not find him or his wife. So I’m unsure how or if we connect. I would think we are related but just have to find how far back we need to go. And, I’m stuck Benjamin and can’t break past him. Hope we can join up, it would be nice to add another branch to this old tree. Ron On Jul 8, 2014, at 10:56 AM, Sue Wilson <charsuewilson@juno.com> wrote: > Where did your Benjamin Wilson end up?

Ron: My wife was from Lee County, VA near the Cumberland Gap and also near Tazewell, TN and the history of both areas are overlapping. Many of the early Tazewell families moved there from Hawkins, TN including some Wilsons and the Britton family being two. The Britton family was intermarried with the Clouds and the Chadwell families both of which are well documented in the histories of Lee County, VA and Tazwell, TN and nearby KY towns. Take a look at the genealogical research relating to Captain David Chadwell who owned some 27,000 acres of what is now Southwest VA and nearby Tazewell, TN and you will find more of your Britton family.
