Surname: WILSON, THOMPSON, EMMONS
-------------------------
My 2nd Great Grandfather is Levi Wilson who was born 24 Apr 1827 in Floyd
Co., IN; md. 20 Apr 1851 in Floyd Co., IN to Sarah Alice EMMONS; he d.
3 Jul 1898 in Turman Township, Sullivan Co., IN. He is buried in Poplar
Cemetery, Turman Twp., Sullivan Co., IN with his wife.
I am not sure about his parents. I think that they may be Thomas Wilson
Sr. and Ruth Thompson BUT in the 1850 Census for Wood Twp., Clark Co.,
IN Levi, 23y, is living with a Margaret Wilson 49y. They are living two
doors away from Thomas and Ruth Wilson and six other children. Was Margaret
Wilson his mother or Aunt?
In the 175th Anniversary (1816-1991) of Sullivan County, Indiana, Page
460 it states that my Levi "(Sep.12,1827-July 3, 1898)" was the son of
"Thomas Wilson (born Virginia, April 13, 1790-March 25, 1870) married Ruth
(born North Carolina, Nov. 6, 1801-March 31, 1870)."
I found another Levi Wilson, 45y, in the 1880 Census for Hamilton Twp.,
Sullivan Co., IN,whose wife is Sarah, 42y. This Levi is NOT mine as he
was born about 1835 (calculated date).
