• Notes

  !NOTES:Online trees list Elizabeth as a child of William Wilson (1793-1872) and Mary Bradford. Same trees list her as Elizabeth Rebecca. Is there proof of her parentage? Of that middle name? - Elizabeth's two oldest children were William and Mary, so that works in favor of William & Mary being her parents; !CENSUS:1820 Buncombe Co., NC p. 102 William Wilson age 26-44 (1775/1794) My analysis (who each person *might* be): 1m 26-44 (1775/1794) William Wilson (c1793) s/o Edward & Mary 1m 0-9 (1810/1820)..
