03--The old photo album that at one time was owned by Nathaniel Burdine Wilson's granddaughter, Martha Roseanne Gwin Holley Lester, which is now in the possession of her descendant, my double fourth cousin, Barbara Ward. I transcribed the seventy-four names in the index and added my comments to each: click here to go there, as it contains some that ties us to the family of Ezekiel Burdine Wilson.
04--Alabama Census Returns 1820 and An Abstract of Federal Census of Alabama 1830, reprinted from The Alabama Historical Quarterly, Vol. 6, No. 3, Fall Issue, 1944, published by the State Department of Archives and History, LCCC No. 67-28599, ISBN 0-8063-0003-5. Nathaniel B. Wilson (p. 146) is counted in Limestone Co., AL, in the 1819-1820 census of Alabama with one each white male and white female over 21 and one each white male and white female under 21. This is consistent with my Nathaniel Burdine Wilson's and Jane Jones Wilson's family at the time, the two children being Mary Burdine Wilson (b. 29 Nov 1816) and John Jones Wilson (b. 2 Feb 1819). Further, every other census category has a zero, indicating that they had NO slaves, acres cultivated, hired hands, bales of cotton, average weights, gins, saws, or mills. This would be consistent with my Wilson family at the time, who were likely en route from South Carolina to Dallas County, AL. Thirdly and all but cementing this this be my Wilson family is the listing on p. 126, also in Limestone County and likely traveling with his brother, of Ezekeel (sic) B. Wilson and wife and son! This is of course consistent with our Ezekiel Burdine Wilson and wife (some first unknown wife, clearly not his second wife Sarah Harrell Rasco, says James R. Rasco) and son Washington Wilson. The zeros following his name were consistent with Nathaniel's, indicating to me that they were likely traveling together.
05--The 1860 Census of Dallas Co., AL, provided many leads, and now various other census data has helped as well; it is posted throughout and taken primarily from the Ancestry.com website.
06--Two documents regarding the death of Nathaniel B. Wilson--1. a petion to sell NBW's lands for cash to pay his debts, and 2. depositions from two witnesses regarding NBW's personal properties--are transcribed at the above links.
07--Purple notes are from Vital Data from Cemeteries in Dallas Co., Alabama, publ. by the Cent. Ala. Gen. Soc., 1989.

1853. From his tombstone, we know that Isom and
Mary attended the Protestant Methodist church which we
believe was, at the time of his death, located a few
miles east of their home in Athens at what became
Martins Station. We know that the pastor (of what we
believe to be this same church), Rev. John Steadman,
who likely preached Isom's funeral and who subsequently
endured the death of his own wife, married second Isom's
widow, this Mary B. Wilson Gwin. In this census,
Rev. Steadman is now deceased himself, leaving our Mary
B. again a widow. We speculate that now she is
living here with the family of her daughter, Mary Jane
Gwin Smith, not only for financial protection and
encouragement in these postwar/postreconstruction times
but to help in the care for her father in his last
years. How long this arrangement lasted we don't know,

Roark, according to the Record of Marriages in Dallas Co., Alabama, 1816-1849 pg 122 (age 33 in 1850 census); but JJW is listed in 1860 as living with G. M. Wilson, age 23--therefore, did Sarah die as a result of daughter Sarah's birth and thus become the latter's namesake?; JJW was a carpenter with $600 in real estate and $500 in personal assets according to the 1860 census; from the following four sources (1850 and 60 Censuses and 1862 and 1875 Probates for Jesse Roark and N.B. Wilson, respectively), we now believe they had 7 children;--see Shannon Smyrl's notes at http://www.phaenom.com/roark/jesse.htm#top and the data below. [JMG Note: Evidently Shannon has taken this page off the web. Rats. I wish I'd copied it. Aha! Here's another of her postings from Rootsweb with much if not most of same material she had in the other! I've copied it below and have started reformatting it to correspond to our outline.

--According to Dallas County Courthouse Probate Court file #65, on 12 Nov 1875, John G. (sic--should be J. for Jones) Wilson, a son of Nathaniel B. Wilson, died before his father N. B. Wilson, and left the following named children who are heirs of N. B. Wilson's estate, all of whom were over 21 years of age and residing in Dallas Co., AL]. To wit:
But the 1850 Dallas Co. census shows this family as follows:718/718 John J. Wilson 31M Farmer 800 AL--Clearly our John Jones Wilson.
Sarah B. [Wilson] 33F SC--Also clearly our Sarah B. Roark Wilson.
Wm. J. [Wilson] 9 M AL--If they were married in 1838, then it would make sense that the firstborn would not have been born in 1846, but rather closer to 1839 or 40, as was this William J.
James F. [Wilson] 6 M AL--Second-born?
E. R. [Wilson] 4 M AL--This must be the above-mentioned Robert--first name Ezekiel?
J. R. [Wilson] 2 M AL--This must be the above-mentioned John--middle name Roark?
J. W. [Wilson] 2 2M AL--And this would be the above-mentioned Wesley--first name also John. The same first names and the same ages here indicate to me that these are likely twins!
However, according to Shannon Smyrl's information on Shelia Spracklen Lee's website, the heirs of the estate of Jesse V. Roark and Nancy (Ann Morris) Roark are listed as follows (see number ):1861 Estate of Jesse and Nancy Roark. Richard H. Roark, admr. Heirs are:
1. Sophronia, wife of Laughlin Campbell, Dallas Co.
2. Walter Roark, son of D.H. Roark, dec'd. [John Gwin Note: D. H. Roark is Drury Hampton Roark who m. Mary Gwin (b. 1817 in Dallas Co., AL) on 27 Dec. 1838 in Dallas Co., prob. Cahawba--this son, Walter, was killed two years later in the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg.]
3. Wm., Robt., John Wesley, and Sarah Wilson, heirs of Sarah [nee Roark]Wilson, dec'd, who was wife of J. J. Wilson.
4. G. T. Roark, Wasataw Co. (sic--this has to be a phonetic misspelling of Ouachita Co.), Ark.
5. Lucinda, wife of Wm. Blann.
6. Two minor children of Washington Roark, living in Washatau Co. (sic--this has to be a misspelling of Ouachita Co.), Ark.
7. Mary, wife of G. H. Ridgeway, Dallas County
In 1862, R. H. Roark [above-named administrator Richard H. Roark] gives names of heirs as follows.
1. Gideon Roark [#4 above?]
2. Lucinda Blann [#5 above?]
3. Rachel E. Hanshaw
4. Mary Ridgeway [#7 above?]
5. R. H. Roark [Interesting! Instead of naming #2 above, the administrator names himself!]
6. The children of Mrs. Sophronia Campbell, viz., Cornelia Jane, Mary, Martha, Candish, and John Campbell, all of Dallas County. [#1 above, amended due to Sophie's death?]
7. The children of Sarah Wilson, viz.: Robt., John Wesley, "Osmon", and [#3 above]
8. The children of Washington Roark, names unknown, in Ark. [#6 above]

Subject: farr brothersDear John,
Thank you so much for the information that you sent. I am searching for the father of two brothers who migrated into Hinds Co. MS in the early 1830's. the brothers were James Wilson Farr and George Washington Farr. I believe there was a third brother named Charles Kavanaugh Farr. Due to the names of their children, I strongly feel that they were from the Ephraim Farr line. Your information listed Farrs and Wilsons which I had to check out. Ephraim Farr's daughter married a James Wilson and Ephraim's good friend was also a Wilson. Thanks again for taking time to answer my query.
Sincerely, Pamela

Hello John,
I have found a little more information on James Washington WILSON and Isham Griffin WILSON.
I don't know if you already have this information or not.
James Washington Wilson married Elizabeth McCullen in Dallas County on 29 OCT 1857.
They were enumerated on page 785 of the 1860 Dallas County census, they had one son, M. E., age 1.
I can't find any of this family on a later census. James might have died in the War Between the States.
There was a James WILSON in CO. A 4th Ala. Infantry. This company was raised in Dallas County.
I found an Antonett ADAMS on page 266A of the 1850 Dallas County census age 2, and the head
of the household was John D. ADAMS, physician, with his wife, Arenath. This same family was
enumerated on page 908 of the 1860 Dallas County census, it lists Antonett as 10 years old.
On the 1870 Dallas County census A. ADAMS (widow of John D.) is head of the house and Isham
WILSON and his wife Amanda are in the household. There was no Amanda ADAMS on either
the 1850 or 1860 Dallas County census.
Is it possible that Amanda A. is actually Amanda Antoinette ADAMS? Do you have a death date
for Antoinette? I found where an Isham G WILSON married a Lovina LOCKHART in Perry County
on 11 JUL 1883. He was again a widower by the 1900 Marengo County census, ED 60 sheet 15B,
stamped page number 64B. In the household with him were 3 of his sons: Bernice G.age 27,
Leonce age 18, and Ely R. age 13.
Bernice G. and Leonce Russell became lawyers, but I can't find Ely R. after the 1900 census.
Leonce registered for the World War I draft in Marengo County.
I hope everything is going well for you.
Best Regards,
Mark Hall

I found something on our Wilsons that I thought you might be interested in. I have a subscription to Genealogylibrary.com. I noticed today that they have added several of the Family Tree Maker CD's to the website that are free with the subscription. Here is what I found on Isham Griffin Wilson that is on the CD #507, "Vital Records: Directory of Deceased American Physicians, 1804-1929:"
Isham Griffin WilsonJournal of the American Medical Association citation: 74: 1729
Died May 17, 1920 in Selma, AL
Born: 1844
Type of practice: Allopath
State/year of licenses: AL, 1878
Places/dates of practice: Demopolis, AL
Medical school: Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans: Univ. Med. Dept., 1868, (G)
Cause of demise: heart diseaseDo you know what allopath is? I wonder if we could get some kind of record on him from Tulane?
I guess that's all that I have to add. I just got back from picking my mother up from her home in Arkansas. I took my two daughters to the beach at Orange Beach, Alabama, earlier in the week for four nights, and I am worn out. Talk to you later.

Greetings!
I stumbled across your website tonight - what a great setup! I am researching my Wilson line right now, and am stuck on a John Wilson from Alabama.I'm sort of going on some speculation here, but I THINK he might be related to the John Jones WILSON you have listed...
Do you happen to have any more information on John Jones' children? I have found a Jones Wilson listed in the Dunklin County, Missouri 1870 census, living in the same household as a Charles Wilson, age 27, born in AL. Jones is listed as being 52 years old, and has a daughter aged 22 named Sallie (born in AL). He is also living with a child by the name of Harevy JONES, aged 9, born in AR. There are others in the household as well; just wanted to keep it simple for the time being.
My relative is a John H. Wilson, born around 1837 in AL and living in close proximity to this household. I'm wondering if this isn't a son or something. Any information you can provide would be amazingly helpful, even if it is simply to rule something out.
Thanks a bunch, and I enjoyed the info on nibs!

I have found a
Jones Wilson age 52, b. ca. 1818, listed in the Dunklin Co., MO 1870 census, living in the same household as a

on Kellis Store Road, turn left onto Kellis Store Loop (or) Kellis Store-Ghoulson Rd -- each of these roads meet and loop back into Kellis Store Road.

Dec. 28, 1887 - July 22, 1968
New info as of May 2006: This is Att Hampton Wilson, according to Kelly Wilson's email, above. Kelly says her husband Scott is Att's great-grandson. The dates look to me to be right for Att to be Ezekiel Burdine Wilson's grandson, but this is certainly still speculation. Nevertheless, that Kelly, Scott, and Scott's dad, Bennett, think that all these people are related is all very encouraging to me that it might in fact be true.Further, that his middle name is Hampton brings to mind Drury Hampton Roark who married Mary Gwin, John and Jane Gwin's oldest daughter.

Subject: Guinn/Roark(Rork)John,
It would seem I am researching the same surnames in almost the same location.My ancestor is Elias Henderson Guinn-Guin-Gwynn (CSA) who is buried in Jackson Co., AL. James, his son, married into the Jackson Co., Chandler line and, as a member of the Chandler Family Association, I am researching the Guinn line as well.
The Roark-Rork line comes in to the Brown family line of Rowan Co. to Washington Co., TN, to Jackson Co. AL from John Roark-Rork, as a daughter of John Roark married David Brown, descendent of Johann Jacob Brown the Wagon maker, during the Revolutionary War. My work is in Jackson Co., AL, Washington Co., TN, and Rowan Co., NC, so far. I just currently found John Roark-Rork's will dated 1792 and have requested a copy from Washington Co., TN.
If you recognize any of these names, I would love to converse. Forgive my office email address--breaktime, and scanning Roarks--my home email address is Catherine2447@aol.com

Date: Fri, 10 Jan 97 18:51:23 GMT-0500My Roark line goes back to Jesse Roark born NC. I believe his father was Barnabus Roark of Stokes Co, NC, Surry Co., NC, and Greenville Dist. SC
The names of Jesse and Lucinda appear in various of the Roark lines connected to Stokes Co, NC; Surry Co., NC; Ashe Co., NC as well as Roark lines in Va., Ky, and Tenn.
The following are the first two proven generations in my Roark line.
14. Jesse Roark and Nancy Ann Morris
Nancy Ann Morris was the daughter of Drury and Rachel Morris. She was born in S.C. on 18 Dec. 1884. She married Jesse Roark (18 Oct. 1783 - 23 Nov. 1861) in Greenville County, S.C. ca. 1805. Sometime between 1810 and 1820 Nancy Anne and Jesse moved to Dallas County Alabama. They as well as Nancy's mother Rachel Morris and her sister Sarah Hall (Mrs. Richard Hall) are listed in the 1820 Census of that county.
Issue of Nancy Ann Morris and Jesse Roark:
141. Sarah B. Roark,b. S.C. ca. 1805 (or 1808); d. bef. 1861; m. John J. Wilson, 12 Oct. 1838, Dallas Co., AL; at least 4 ch.;Sincerely,1411 Robert Wilson, b. ca. 1846, AL;142. Saphronia Roark, b. S.C. ca. 1810, m. Laughlin Campbell; at least 8 ch.;

Caroline Wilson 4 June 1840John Washington Roark b. ca. 1813 S.C. was the son of Jesse Roark and Nancy Ann Morris. He moved from Dallas County, Alabama to Dallas County, Arkansas by 1850. In the 1850 Census Dallas County, Arkansas shows him residing in the household of his brother Gideon Thomas Roark. By October of 1854 he is in Cahoun County, Arkansas where he married Martha Jane Mitchell on 26 Oct 1854. Martha Jane was born ca. 1840 the 1860 Census shows Alabama while the 1870 Census shows Arkansas. Their issue:
1441 Richard Alexander
1442 Mary Lucinda (Mollie)The 1860 Mortality Schedules of Arkansas shows that John Washington died from pneumonia in April of 1860. On 31 Dec. 1868 Martha Jane Roark married James B. F. Boyce, Calhoun County, Arkansas. The 1870 Census of Ouachita County. Arkansas shows
Boyce, Jas, 25 M W Farmer ArkansasThe death record of James V. Boyce, filed in Cherokee County, Texas shows that he died Nov. 9, 1904 from malaria. _Newspaper Obituaried 1836-1908 Cherokee County, Texas_ shows J. V. Boyce of Mixon died in 1904 at the age of 62 yrs.
Boyce, Mattie, 32 F W Arkansas
Roark, Richard,14 M W Arkansas
Roark, Mollie,11 F W ArkansasThe same reference shows Mrs. M. J. Boyce died here 23 Nov. 1907 at the age of 67 years. Both Martha Jane and Grandpa Boyce were buried in the orchard behind the William Eugene Webb place.
145 Gideon Thomas Roark146. Lucinda Roark, b. Ala. ca 1821, m. Wm. Young H. Blann 12 Jan. 1839Gideon Thomas Roark was the son of Nancy Ann Morris and Jesse Roark. He was born 18 Dec. 1817. He married Caroline Wilson 4 June 1840. Their issue according to Wilma Humphreys- Newton:
1451 Sarah E. (Sally) Roark, b. 14 Oct. 1844, m. Joseph E. Lockridge 6 Feb. 1868, d. 8 Jan. 1902. Their issue included

Wilma Humphries-Newton clains Gideon and Emily had three children Crockett who married Alice Dunn, Tobe who did not marry and Gideon Jr. who married Nancy Hayes. She further claims that Sally married Joseph Lockridge.
Marriages of Calhoun County, Ark. shows the marriage of Joseph E. Lockridge to Sarah E. Roark 6 Feb. 1868. Some of the information furnished by Wilma Humphries-Newton is definitely incorrect. At this point I cannot tell the fact from the fiction.Gideon died ca. 9 Dec. 1877 Calhoun Co., Ark. (See Pro C. page 66)
146 Lucinda Roark147. Rachel E. Roark, b. 1823, m. Warner L. Hanshaw 29 June 1846Lucinda was the daughter of Nancy ann Morris and Jesse Roark. She was born Ala ca 1821. Lucinda married William Young Henry Blann 17 Jan. 1839. Their issue includes
1461 William Henry Junior, b, 14 Feb. 1840, m. Miriam Gosa 15 Nov. 1861, d. 31 July 1912 C.S.A. Miriam war b. 6 June 1846, d. 28 Feb. 1928.

1463 Richard Thomas b. 31 May 1846, m. Amanda Stafford (b. 1848, d. 31 Dec. 1923) d. 14 Mar. 1912 C.S.A.
1464 James Silas b. 1853, d. 1867
1465 Emma b. ca. 1855 Ark. (See 1870 Census)Alabama Notes pp. 4 and 5 by England indicates that William H. Blann had six children.
William Henry Blann died 30 Sept. 1854 Calhoun County, Arkansas. Lucinda died after 1910. She was living with her son Wm. H. Jr. at the time of the 1910 Census.
The Blanns, Ridgeways, and Roarks ( Gideon Thomas and his family as well as John Washington Roark) moved from Dallas County, Ala to Arkansas between 1840 amd 1850.
147 Rachel E. Roark148. Mary Roark, b. Ala. ca. 1828, m G. E. Ridgeway 21 Mar. 1861Rachel E. Roark was the daughter of Nancy Ann Morris and Jesse Roark. She was born Dallas Co., Ala ca. 1823. Rachel married Warner L. Hanshaw 29 June 1846 or 2 July 1846. Their issue:
1471 Elizabeth b. ca. 1847 Ala.
1472 Sarah Frances b. ca. 1849 Ala.
1473 ????? J. b. ca. 1853 Ala.
1474 M. C. b. ca. ca. 1855 Ala.
1475 M. E. b. ca, 1859 Ala.
1476 Gideon W. b. ca. 1860 Ala.In 1850 Warner L. Hanshaw is listed as head of household Dallas Co., Ala., but by 1860 Rachel is listed as the head of household, thus I presume Warner had died by that time.
148 Mary Roark149. Richard Hampton Roark, b. Ala. ca. 1829, d. 29 May 1900Mary Roark was the daughter of Nancy Ann Morris and Jesse Roark. She was born ca. ca. 1828 Dallas County, Ala. She married G. E. (Gibb) Ridgeway 21 Mar. 1861. According to Wilma Humphries-Newton Mary came with the party from Alabama to Arkansas.
Nancy Ann Morris died 14 Sept. 1854. Nancy Ann, Jesse and their son Richard Hampton are buried in Vernon Church Cemetery, Dallas County, Alabama.
