Thanks for the response. I don't know if you can help, but I hope you can.
My William Jefferson was born 25 April 1869 in Highland Co. According to
his marriage license his father was a B (looks like Benj) Wilson. My William
Jefferson married Ollie Belle Gilliland in Cumberland Co, Illinois. They
later moved to Edgar Co., Illinois. Cumberland and Edgar Counties neighbor
Coles Co. I was actually born and grew up in Coles County Illinois.
