This post was long ago, but if anyone here has information on the Wilsons living in Jo Daviess Co, previously from Ohio and Indiana, I'd love to hear from you. I believe there might have been two families with some similar names, I can't figure it out. My puzzle is widow Sarah Wilson and children Samuel, Margaret, Edward, Jesse, Mary, in the 1850 census. Who was her husband, from NJ, who was her family from Virginia? (Jesse's father from NJ in a later census).W
