WILSON, and ROACH Families - My Gfather, Joseph L. WILSON B: 1861 in MacKenzie, Carroll County, TN. His Father was Franklin Wilson, Mother Elizabeth ROACH. Their children were: Mary, Joe, Charles Robert, Samuel, and Narcissa.
Joseph married Annie Blackburn and moved to Lonoke County Arkansas with the J D Blackburn family. Annie and their infant son died in 1888 in Lonoke County. I am told that Joseph was educated at a College in Carroll county. (Probably Bethel College because his Uncle John N Roach was the first president of that school) Joe taught pinmanship in Texas until he returned to marry Annie. After Annie died he moved on to Saline County, Arkansas and established the small postoffice and settlement called Grape. I have some books from Carroll county up to 1860 and have found some of these people listed. What I don't know is; Franklin must have died about 1859 but have not found anything about him or Elizabeth after 1870. 1870 Census shows Elizabeth as head of household. Can you help me or steer me to some of these families? A Wilson
