Thanks for the replies. I don't have anything on my Will WILSON II, but I have found his son General WILSON (b.1869) in the census and it says his father was born in Kentucky, most likely Knox County or possibly Whitley County. I would guess that Will was born around 1846 since that is the birth date I have seen for Will's wife, and since there is "II" after his name on this certificate that his father must be William also. I also know that General had a brother named William who was married to Thursey Peace. > > > I have a crack in one of my brick walls.
