Billie, sorry about not giving names. My WILSONS did live in the Kennedy
area. My ggrandfather was Andrew Levi WILSON, he was born in Alabama. He
went by A.L. His wife and Sarah Elizabeth Wiles WILSON. My grandfather,
Andrews son, was Brown WILSON he married Lillie Ann Fox. Brown had brothers
William, Walter, Lafayette (Fate), Elmer, sisters Dollie, Lula, Ellen. My
father, Brown's son was Melvin Arie WILSON. he had brother Erie, Walter,
Oliver, Aud, Lafayette (Fate), sisters Leloa, Frankie. They were in Kennedy
Township at least in 1910 and 1920.

Thanks

Darla.
