    1. Re: [WILSON-L] QUESTION - WILSON FAMILY RESERCH SOCIETY.
    2. Hi Col. I use to have a list of some Wilson groups but over the years since I never received back an answer but from one group called the "Wilson Clearinghouse" at 207 Auburn Dr. Dalton, GA 30720. The man that answered was a J. W. Reid and he asked that I send family group sheets to him. I never sat down and sent the group sheets. I also sent and requested information from Wilson, NC thinking that I might gleam something from whom the town was named for. However nothing so far. What information I do have is that my ancestor is Joseph Wilson b. 15 Nov 1797 NC and died 24 May 1874 in Statesboro, Bulloch, GA. I have no middle name. I have also his information his wife was Emmaline L. Bowen d/o Elisha Bowen and Penelope Everett. The above couple had seven children, which included two sets of twins. From my research from Bulloch Co., GA I have found a will of Samuel Wilson, widow Martha and a son Joseph among other named children. I have not found documentation as to where Samuel and Martha are from. I do have pictures of the next generation of some if not all of the children of Joseph and Emmaline (Bowen) Wilson. Joseph and Emmaline are buried in the Wilson Cemetery outside of Statesboro, GA. I will continue to research and see if I can find the other Wilson information unless I threw it away then its gone. I do believe there had been some type of "Wilson Society" but I do believe there is no activity. If I have rambled on I apologize. Thanks for listening Ellen
