• Notes

  !NOTES:I don't know if I'm related to this family or not but I am interested in them. I've researched all Wilsons in the region to some extent in the attempt to discover the family of my ancestor Mrs. David Carpenter. She is a presumed Miss Wilson born ca 1810/15 in Burke Co., NC, died ca 1839 in Yancey Co., NC or in Ashe (now Watauga) Co., NC. My area of interest mainly includes Burke, Yancey, Mitchell, Avery and Watauga Counties, and some of their parent counties such as Buncombe and Ashe. I am not yet 100% certain Mrs. David Carpenter was a Wilson, but they did name their second son "Wilson Carpenter" so that strongly suggests Wilson ancestry. They were associated with Wilsons as well; !REFERENCES: https://martygrant.com/ https://www.martygrant.com/genealogy/ https://www.martygrant.com/genealogy/wilson/ My Wilson ancestor: https://martygrant.com/tng/getperson.php?personID=I2634&tree=martygrant !CENSUS:1870 Yancey Co., NC Pensacola # 46/46 George Wilson 53 Farmer $0/0 NC Nancy 41 Sarah Jane 18 Symantha 14 Elizabeth 12 Rachael N. 7 Nancy F. 4 Silas C. 1/12 May; !CENSUS:1880 Macon Co., NC Nantahala # 130/131 George Wilson 64 Farmer NC-NC-NC Nancy L. 50 wife Nancy F. 14 dau Silas C. 10 son Jane Allen 60 boarder wd Wm Forrester 23 s-in-l M Farm laborer Rachael 18 dau M; !CENSUS:1900 Swain Co., NC Nantahala # 200/201 James A.
