Here's one of my lost families
:
Rev. John Dowling WILSON/WILLSON (1827-1900) was the son of Charles P.
WILLSON, Jr. and Martha "Patsie" JOHNSON, both of whom were born about 1804
and 1807. I believe that Patsie, at least, died in Greenville, SC, but I
have some info that they both came fr. GA to SC - a bit unusual at that
time. (Only later in life was his name spelled WILSON.)

This Charles P. WILLSON, Jr. was the son of Charles P. WILLSON, Sr.(b.
~1747, Ireland) and Polly or Patsy PETTIGREW, b. ~1755. Charles received a
pension for ARW service that started in 1821 when he was 79 yrs. old which
would have made his birth date 1742. I have no other children for this
couple except Charles P. WILLSON, Jr.

The only other info I have on Charles P. WILLSON, Jr. and Martha JOHNSON are
their children:
John Dowling WILLSON, b 1827
Nancy Adeline WILLSON, b 1833
Mary Elizabeth WILLSON, b 1835
Lucy Ann WILLSON, b 1837
Robert WILLSON, b 1839
Sally Ann WILLSON, b 1841
Martha Jane WILLSON, b 1843
Some of these children were in Pickens Co. and some in Anderson Co., SC. At
least the first few of the children were born in GA.

I have seen several marriages listed that John Dowling WILLSON performed in
Pickens Co., and I know that he and his wife, Susanna SHERIFF, are buried in
Central, Pickens Co., SC.

I would love any info on this family and will gladly share what info I have
on them. Thank you!
Godspeed...
