Hi Caroline,

It looks like you may have some outstanding merges that need attention. You can find them by following the link at the top of this page under >My Wikitree>Watchlist, then hit the button that says Pending Merges. If you need help, just ask. Thanks for helping with Wikitree

Caroline, I noticed that you created Turner Lanier several years ago. Do you recall why you were interested in him? I noticed that his obituary mentions his "sister" Zelta Simpkins, whose mitochondrial line is of interest for a cousin's project, so I'm wonder how they connect since they were born 54 years apart.

Thanks! - Karen

Lanier was originally my mother's father's line of ORR's who married with Lanier's. By DNA, we discovered that ORR was not her father.

The obit mentions Zelta Hileman. His sister, Zetta, was born in 1883. Zetta was married to Clarence Wright Horrell. Quite possibly a misspelling in the obit?

Since Zelta Hileman did live in Anna, Illinois, at this time, this could be a mistake rather than a misspelling. Perhaps someone related to both women was confusing Aunt Zelta with Aunt Zetta?

Your guess is as good as mine! I quit researching that line two/three years ago. I do know that Zetta Lanier-244 was in Illinois. I would have no idea on her descendants other than what is listed in WikiTree. It's quite possible that Aunt Zelta is really a niece of Turner Lanier?

I put all my research (20 year's worth) on WikiTree for others to access.

Hi Caroline! I'm circling back to the Evington line. Just wanted to give you a heads up:)

Caroline, I can appreciate how hard it is to kind of let go of one of your ancestors. So thank you so very much for making her profile open and thank you for letting me know!

Uncle Clarence's Letter "Pontotoc" continued.

"Lee took me to see James I and his widowed sister Mrs. Weatherall, who were living in a beautiful old home, built by their grandfather in 1845, and there amonst old letters and documents, dating back to 1836, we found the Bible record of James and Margaret McElroy Wilson, listing the birth dates of their fourteen children. They were as follows, according to age: 1. Mary; 2. Nancy; 3. William; 4. Samuel; 5. Sarah; 6. Elizabeth; 7. John McElroy 8. James Irvine; 9. Green; 10. Ann; 11. Margaret; 12. Malinda; 13. Josephine; 14. Alfred M." I think 10. Ann is your 5th great grandmother.

Let me share with you a bit from Uncle Clarence's letter from the '80s.

"When I arrived in Pontotoc I found another cache of information. I found that James Irvine Wilson, another brother of Samuel, John, Green and Alf, had served as the first clerk of the Probate Court of Pontotoc County, and that he had a grandson, James Irvine II, living there. I also learned that William Lee Wilson, Jr.. and Jeff Wilson lived in Phototoc. Since Lee and Mary lived nearest to town, I stopped to see them first, and in a few minutes a friendship developed, which could only happen with "blood kin" of the Wilson Clan. I soon devoured all the information they had, and while Mary prepared a genuine, home-cooked, Southern dinner, Lee took me to see... continued

Hi Caroline - thanks for bearing with me. I have ordered a DNA test and in a few weeks we might be able to learn more about these ancestors.

If you could put up the sources for the census and marriage data you have on James Irving Wilson that will help. I think that Capt. William of Rowan County is a nice fit for the frontier Indian war fighter and companion of Daniel Boone but there are some gaps there as well. He is said to have died in 1790 in an Indian attack - but we have William of Rowan living until later in the 1800's.

Caroline, I checked the changes I made. I kicked out the abbreviations. WikiTree encourages not to use abbreviations, because they are not unambiguous. For example CA can be Canada or California. I won't delete those changes.
