The first sketch, Hardin Wilson, p.1124, states his father was Felix Wilson b. ca 1814 and his grandfather was George Wilson, b. VA, died 1855 in northern Grayson Co., KY near Falls of Rough.
The second sketch, Ellis Kelly, p.1112, states his mother was Caroline (Wilson) Kelly, the daughter of George Wilson. That George Wilson was born December 30, 1782 and came to KY from Stafford County, VA in 1785, when he was three years old with his father William Wilson.
The family settled in Scott County, KY a few years, then moved near the Falls of Rough in what became Grayson County by 1810. William Wilson, the patriarch, died at age 73 on April 4, 1821 leaving his wife and eight living children: James, William, Hannah, John, Thomas, George, Charles, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph and Benjamin (twins). In 1886 at the time of the printing the sketch states three of the eight children were dead.

The first sketch, Hardin Wilson, p.1124, states his father was Felix Wilson b. ca 1814 and his grandfather was George Wilson, b. VA, died 1855 in northern Grayson Co., KY, near Falls of Rough.
