Looking for Joseph Wilson's (born in Kansas Dec 1858) Father was Tommy Wilson from Ireland.

Comments

If Joseph Wilson was born in KS, his father might have been married in KS probably by 1858 at the latest.

Do you know the county and city in KS where Joseph was born?

Comments

Thanks for your response Frank. This info I had. My grandmother was Mary Wilson, the youngest child to this family.

I am trying to find out more about Joseph Wilson's parents. I have been told that his father was Tommy from Ireland, but don't know who his mother was.

Joseph and Irene is really as far back. documented, as I have been able to get.

Any clues?
