Subject: Wood County query for WILSON, COOPER, EDWARDS, RUSHING, TURNER and FRENCH
Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2000 09:09:09 -0600


Searching for any descendants of the WILSON family, many of whom are buried
at the Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Wood County. Descended from Shelby
WILSON, son of James M. WILSON who died 1939 in Wood County, TX and his
wife, Clifford Augusta COOPER, who died 5 March 1926 in Coke, Wood, TX.

Siblings of Shelby who survived to adulthood were Clarence Leewon WILSON,
Avery Oscar WILSON, and Barney WILSON. Six other children all buried at
Pleasant Grove Cemetery.

Emma WILSON, sister of James M. Wilson married Isaac EDWARDS. Sister
Silvina Rebecca married Sol J. RUSHING. Chester Marion WILSON, brother to
James, married Lizza TURNER. Kitty Miriah, sister to James M. WILSON
married Henry Butler TURNER. Sister Clara married Andrew J. FRENCH. Have
more family information and happy to share what I have.

Am also connected to a WILSON line from Cooke County, TX throught Louisa E.
WILSON who married James Terral BERRY.
