I'm just starting on my WILSON line and would like to hear from anyone with any connections. Daniel WILSON born in North Carolina Mar. 9, 1792 died Feb. 24, 1879. no info. on his parents. Daniel married Rebecca ? born in North Carolina Nov. 25, 1800 died April 27, 1874 This family appears on the 1850 Georgia Census. Marion, Buena Vista 2: WILSON, Daniel aged 60, Male WILSON, Rebecca aged 50, Female WILSON, Daniel aged 13, Male WILSON, Jane aged 11, Female WILSON, Mary aged 9, Female 1860 Dale County, Alabama, same family as above: WILSON, Daniel aged 68 birthplace NC Male WILSON, Rebecca aged 59 birthplace NC Female WILSON, Daniel I. aged 23 birthplace GA Male WILSON, Mary E. aged 19 birthplace GA Female BROWN, Elizabeth aged 19 birthplace GA Female I don't know who this Elizabeth Brown is or how she is connected with the family. 1870 Dale County, Alabama WILSON, Daniel aged 78 male white Farmer birthplace NC WILSON, Rebecca aged 67 female white birthplace NC WILSON, (hard to read but looks like Cele) 26 female white birthplace GA Living just a couple of houses down is Daniel WILSON'S son John W. WILSON & family(this is my G.G.G. G.F.) WILSON, JOHN W. aged 43 male white farmer WILSON, Mary aged 37 female white WILSON, Daniel aged 18 male white farm laborer WILSON, Susan aged 16 female white WILSON, J.W. aged 11 male white WILSON, John aged 9 male white WILSON, Joseph aged 6 male white WILSON, Daniel aged 3 male white 1880 Dale County, Alabama, Barnes Cross Roads and Rocky Head WILSON, Mary white female 47 (listed as head of household, Mary's husband John W.

Some of this family are buried at: Pleasant Ridge United Methodist Church Cemetery Dale County, Alabama Here is the WILSON listings for this family in this cemetery: WILSON, Daniel P., b. Oct. 5, 1872, d. Oct. 18,? s/o D&P WILSON, Daniel b. July 24, 1851, d. Dec. 18, 1872 WILLSON, Daniel, b. in NC, Mar. 9, 1792, d. Feb. 24, 1879 WILLSON, David M. b. Nov 15, 1866, d. Aug. 22, 1870, s/o JW & M WILLSON, infant born-died July 30, 1886, s/o JH & AM WILLSON, John W. b. in NC, Feb. 25, 1827, d. Mar 6, 1872 WILLSON, Phebe E., b. Oct. 11, 1853, d. Aug. 12, 1883, w/o D WILLSON, Rebecca, b. in NC, Nov. 25, 1800, d. April 27, 1874 WILSON, Amanda Martela, b. Mar. 6, 1862, d. Sept. 12, 1908, w/o J.H. WILSON, John H., b. 1861, d.1939 WILSON, Rebecca Jane, b. 1861, d. 1935 Notice how the family changed the spelling from WILLSON to WILSON. On all census records they are shown as WILSON. My G. GM is the Nancy Ellen WILSON listed on the 1880 Census above. I believe her father to be Daniel I. WILSON but haven't proven this yet. Apparently Nancy's father had died by the 1880 census as she and her mother, Lula WILSON were living with Lula's mother in law Mary WILSON. Family story goes that Nancy Ellen's mother's maiden name was NORWEATHER and that she was an immigrant from Ireland, this hasn't been proven. The family was always told that Nancy Ellen WILSON was born in Montgomery, Alabama-this would explain why Daniel I. WILSON isn't buried at the Pleasant Ridge United Methodist Church Cemetery in Dale County if he died near Montgomery he would have been buried there. After the fathers death Lula and Nancy Ellen moved back to Dale County and lived with Lula's mother in law, Mary. Nancy Ellen WILSON was born: Dec. 22, 1875 in Montgomery, Alabama to Lula WILSON and who I believe would be Daniel I. WILSON. Mary WILSON moved to the Mt. Pleasant Community in Shelby County, Texas in 1881. This is in East Texas. Most of her family moved with her but a few stayed in Alabama. Mary WILSON and her family are buried at the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Shelby County, Texas. This used to be a Methodist church but is now a Church of Christ. This WILSON line is predominantly Methodist. Here is the Mt. Pleasant cemtery listing: Alonzo Wilson 11-14-1921 04-28-1999 Sgt., U.S. Army - Husb of Doris Marie Williams Amanda E. Wilson 04-16-1849 06-21-1890 Wife of James W. Wilson Bennie Wilson 11-17-1921 02-08-2004 Wife of Travis Wilson David E. Wilson 11-08-1883 08-1911 - Elcie Wilson 1914 - Hus. of Irene Wilson Irene Wilson 1916 - Wife of Elcie Wilson James W. Wilson 01-18-1859 02-17-1937 Hus. of Amanda E. Wilson John Travis Wilson 05-22-1919 02-22-2004 Hus. of Bennie Wilson Lee Wilson 07-15-1871 04-30-1963 Hus. of Lela Wilson Lela Warr Wilson 09-28-182 10-10-1943 Wife of Lee Wilson Mary Wilson 02-01-1833 01-18-1912 Wife of John W. Wilson I've discovered that a WARR family was living next to the WILSON'S in Alabama and there are several WARR'S buried in this cemetery so I feel that the WILSON'S and WARR'S moved to East Texas from Alabama together in 1881. I'm looking forward to hearing from anyone with information on these families. Thank you, Troyce Hendricks

I've got my Wilson line back to Early County GA from Montgomery AL. Edward Wilson married Frances Evans 27 Sept 1827 in Early County GA. Children in 1850 Early Co census were Rebecca, William, Nancy, George, Mary and Sysan born 25 Feb 1838 in GA. Edward was not listed in the 1850 census with Frances and the children. Susan married Louis Mayer 18 March 1856 in Montgomery AL. Attached to their marriage record is a letter giving permission for Susan to marry Louis Mayer signed by Mrs Frances Wilson. Louis was born 12 July 1825 in Hamburg. Susan died 15 Oct 1885 and Louis 29 July 1890. Both are buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Montgomery AL Louis was a professor of music and a musician i the Civil War Susan and Louis had children Estelle, Minnie, Annie, Eva, Charles, Mamie and Louis. All but Minnie were born in AL, Minnie in GA Estelle was vocal teacher in 1880 Montgomery city directory. Estelle married Harry Edwards 27 July 1880 Montgomery. Minnie married A W Mindler 6 April 1882 Montgomery. Charles married Sarah Adeline Keith in Birmingham AL and they are buried in Forest Hills Cemetery there. Louis is buried in Oakwood Cemetery. Any clues or ideas when or where Louis Mayer/Meyer came to the States. When and where he and Susan met and ANY information on Edward would be greatly appreciated Thanks Doris Mayer Reece Arthur Mayer Charles Mayer Charles Mayer Louis and Susan Wilson Mayer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
