Question: Need genealogical help!?
I have hit a brick wall in a genealogical line and hope someone can help!.
I am looking for the parents of either George Wilson (born 9 Aug 1832 IN, died 5 Feb 1904 IN) or his wife Hannah Reed (born 1 Jan 1841, died 19 May 1899)!. Both are buried in Moore's Ridge Cemetery in Orange county, Indiana!. I believe they were Quakers!.
Their children are Adaline, James, Alice, Laura, Margaret, and Harriet!.
Any help would be great!. Proof of lineage is preferred (census records, etc)
thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There is a George Wilson listed in the 1900 U!.S!. Census living in Paoli, Orange County, Indiana!. He was living with an 11 year old female named Mary Jones!. His father is listed as being born in Ohio his mother listed as being born in Pennsylvania!.
The 1880 U!.S!. Census lists his spouse as Anna R (but could be a misread of the handwriting)!. Children listed are Elizabeth (age 21), Adaline (15), James (13), Alice (11), Margaret (3), and Hattie (7months)!. No Laura listed!. Anna's parents are listed as being from Pennsylvania (father) and Ohio (mother)!. Names for either parent are not listed!.
The Moore's Ridge Cemetery lists a James A!. Wilson (Jun 22,1795-6 to October 6, 1842) that could possibly be George's father!. He would be at the right age and families were generally buried together!. James was a Captain in the Black Hawk War!. There appear to be some stones missing from the cemetery records!. Some stones list wife of Azor Wilson or wife of Hance Wilson, but neither Azor or Hance are listed in the cemetery records!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
