I'm trying again with additional information. Someone HAS TO BE RELATED to this line!! Please can someone break down this BRICK WALL for me. My Sara D. WILSON was born on July 17, 1824 in Pendleton County, VA and married there on May 14, 1848 to Charles Beckwith FOWLER, born March 28, 1825 in Rockingham County, VA a son of Wilson W. and Lucinda (NICKOLS) FOWLER. Sara's death certificate says that she is a daughter of James WILSON but no mother is given. To my knowledge, her and Charles's marriage license does not list parents. Below is all I have to go on as far as a mother for Sara. Can anyone help???? A James WILSON married Sarah SMALLRIDGE in Pendleton County, Va., on March 8, 1823. Ceremony performed by Otho Wade, Can anyone give me a list of children of this couple?? Also, a James WILSON married Rachel BLIZARD in Pendleton County on June 15, 1819. Ceremony performed by F. Lair. Is this the SAME James WILSON with two different wives. Does anyone have a list of the children of this couple. Any help greatly appreciated. Will answer all responses. I also have the following information: the 1850 Pendleton Census record shows: Unit 103-103 James WILSON,a ge 56, Farmer (This is the only James WILSON in the Census) Martha R., age 21 James K., age 16 Rachael B., age 14 Noah R., age 13 George B., age 4 (I don't want to speculate, but I am most sure that Martha R. is a daughter and not a spouse, because of age, and also because very close to their home is a listing for: Unit 85-85 Charles FOWLER, age 25, Farmer Sarah, age 25 Wilson, age 1 (I KNOW this family to be my Sarah D. (WILSON) FOWLER and her husband Charles Beckwith FOWLER. I am almost sure also that this James WILSON in unit # 103 is a son of James WILSON and Elizabeth (HEMPINSTALL) WILSON who was born either Sept. or Nov. 7, 1794, and I know also that this particular James WILSON married Sarah SMALLRIDGE on March 8, 1823. So the age is correct for the 1850 Census. What I desperately need is someone who can give me a list of he children of this James and Sarah (SMALLRIDGE) WILSON. The 1860 Pendleton Census shows that James has taken a second wife by the name of "Amelia" shown as age 56. They are in Unit # 52-52 and James is shown as being 67. son Noah is still in the house but his initial has changed from "R." to "E." and living next door in unit # 53 is another son "Kennison" WILSON--obviously the James K. of the 1850 record, now with wife Irene S. and two children William C. and Mary M. 1870 Shows James W. WILSON age 77 and wife Amelia age 65 with the son James K. still living next door with his wife Irene and 5 children. ANY HELP you can give me on this WILSON/SMALLRIDGE, James WILSON/Amelia ?, or James Kennison WILSON/Irene S. ? would be more than greatly appreciated. Carlisle Bowling Zarvon@aol.com P. O.
