I am writing after seeing the following post to the Wilson list today: Walter Wilson came to this country from Ireland in 1807 and married Eleanor Means and his father was George Wilson. Children of Walter: John Jane Eliza James Michael 8/13/1813 George T. 1820 Robert M. 1811 I'm looking for any Means family in or around Morgan Co, AL in the mid 1800's. John Means married Lavinia Emaline Woodall in 1858, probably in Morgan Co, AL. I have no information on John at all, just his name. Ellen E. Means married William M. Woodall in 1859, probably in Morgan Co, AL. Again, no other information. My g grandfather, Abraham Wilson, married into the Woodall (and Nesmith) family of AL and I'm hoping that I might find a clue to help identify who his parents were. Perhaps he was connected in some way to the above Walter Wilson? Paula
