Elizabeth WILSON 1785-1870

Looking for ANY information on Elizabeth Wilson (married name) who had a son named G. H. and a daughter named Nancy. Elizabeth was born in NC in 1785 and lived in White County, TN from at least 1820 until she died around 1870. In 1820 census, she appears as head of household, believed to be widowed by then.

Need to know her maiden name and would love to find her husband's information. All I know about her husband was that he was a Wilson from NC, but don't know when or where he died. Believe he died before 1820.
