Would both of you let me know if you find a Thomas WILLSON who received bounty land in Texas 1837... I have a copy of his Nacogdotches papers; he is listed as an Englishman [who could very well have been Irish or Scots-Irish]; my mother told me he was our ancestor and that he received the property for his work as a surveyor... haven't checked that out yet but my grandmother has Thomas Randolph Willson as her grandfather from Union County SC and her grandmother Martha Jones Blakely of Williamsburg county South Carolina... this area was populated by Scots-Irish...
