I'm trying to connect the Wilson dots in my family. My gggm was Louisiana Wilson Hankins, she lived @ Bacon's Castle in Surry County. Robert R. W. & William Ricks W. were her two brothers, James W. & Eliza M. Ricks were her parents, John W. & Caty were her grandparents.

Here's a page I ran across that should help you -

And here's a link to a graveyard with monuments for several of your ancestors -

If you have any info on the people I listed, or James Shady Wilson, or John Shady Wilson, please let me know.
