Wilson is sure difficult to research. I'm still dead ended on a Morgan Wilson that shows up in the 1860 Federal Census for Henry County, VA. His household includes: Morgan Wilson 47 born abt 1812 John Wilson 17 born abt 1842 Eleanor Wilson 13 born abt 1846 Wm Wilson born 10 abt 1840 (my ancestor) Eliz Wilson 89 born abt 1770 His wife Martha Odle died in 1858. The Odle family moved from Rockingham County, NC to Henry County, VA around 1840. You can follow their marriages into other Henry County families. George Washington Odle (he changed to Odell) appears to have left many descendants with variations of George Washington in their name. There is also good family history on OneTree going back to the 1400's for Odle ancestors. I've tried working off Morgan and Eliz using Family Tree Maker 2005 and its ties to various genealogy resources. Other than finding that a second Morgan (J.) Wilson lived in the same area at the same time; I have not found any more history on these people. It appears that Morgan was a very popular first name for Wilson's back then. Do any of you know anything more about this Morgan? J.M.Wilson Charlotte, NC
