    1. [WILSON-L] ABRAHAM/ABRAM WILSON, born ca.1850 GA-HE HAD TO HAVE PARENTS SOMEWHERE
    2. Abraham/Abram Wilson/Willson, parents and siblings unknown Born unknown county of GA ca early 1850's Need parent's name to search in GA for county of his birth He's first found in Morgan Co, AL 1870 census; age 18, born GA Married Sarah Jane Nesmith Oct 1870 in Lawrence Co, AL Sister might possibly be a Sarah E.? Crosby, found on 1870 Morgan Co, AL census living next door to Abe. Also shows her with infant son, 9 months; no husband shown in household but he could be James Crosby. Abe disappears in Spring of 1874, just before the birth of his only child, my grandfather, William Martin Wilson. Family story is that he went off to work and never came home. Family believed he was killed/murdered for his pay. His body was never found. Beginning to think he just took off to make a new life somewhere else. Abe's son, William Martin left AL as a young man and came to TX; settled in central TX area of Navarro, Hill, & Freestone Counties at various times. Was in Jefferson Co, Oklahoma for a few years between ca 1909-1914 and then back to central TX. No known connection to Oklahoma so that move is a mystery. Other areas possibly connected to Abe's parents/siblings and ancestors: VA, NC, SC, TN. Heeeeeeeelp!! Paula
