My husband's ancestor was William Wilson b 1796 in NC...thus far have not found where he was born or his father, think it might be a John Wilson. William married Jane McHenry 14 Nov 1816 in Rutherford Co., TN and then the family is in Hardeman Co., TN in 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870 census...after his death in the 1870's several of his children moved to Tarrant Co., TX. -- Peggy <'}}}}>< Genealogy: Begins as an interest, Becomes a hobby, Continues as an avocation, takes over as an obsession and in its last stage is an incurable disease."
