Zeta,

Do you have anymore information on Abe (Abram or Abraham) Wilson, s/o Theodore and
Ann Eaton? I'm searching for the parents of my great grandfather, Abram Wilson, born
abt. 1852, supposedly somewhere in GA. My family thinks our Wilson line was first
noted in Pa with descendants migrating to>VA>NC or SC>GA> AL>TX>OK and back to TX.
The time frame would probably be mid 1700's thru early 1900's for this migration. My
great grandfather died mysteriously in 1874 and as far as we know, there are no
family records or papers identifying his parents, siblings, dates, etc. William,
Martin, and Paul are frequently used christian names in my family.

Thanks,
Paula Wilson Dunklin
