The LDS records teach that the "Ammi" Wilson, born 1783 in Maine (son of Oliver,
b. 1749/1753 in Massachusetts, d. 1812 in Maine) died in Milan, Ripley County, Indiana in
1858. His mother Sarah Heyward is also said to have died there in 1832. Ammi is said to
have brothers Ira, Artis and Arva, but their vitals are not indicated as to place in the
LDS records.
From the 1830 Census we find an "Ame", Ira and Artis Wilson
in Ripley County, so it seems that much of Oliver and Sarah's family is there. (Also
found are Ephraim and James, from elsewhere, apparently KY from later Census records.) In
1840 we find Artis and Artis, Jr. there, and many other Wilson heads of household from the
southern lines. In 1850 the Maine Wilsons are not indexed in Ripley County, but in 1860 an
aged Ira is found in neighboring Dearborn County, Indiana.
I am searching for the heritage of Emily Wilson, b. 1811 in Maine, who married Stephen Day
(b. 1809 in NJ) in Dearborn County in 1831. It makes sense that she descends from one of
Oliver's sons. Can anyone help on these Wilsons?
TIA.
