Charles W. Wilson and desecendants - Va./NC
I have been looking for ancestors on my biological father's side of the family without much luck and hoping that someone here may be able to get me pointed in the right direction.
My father's paternal grandparents were Willie and Alice Wilson from Virginia (unsure of area, mountains is what I have been told) and I was told that Alice's maiden name was also Wilson and that both of them were at least part Cherokee Indian. I was told both were born around 1900 -/+ about 5 years and that Alice died in Childbirth around 1925 or 1926. Willie was said to have been murdered between that time and 1935.Willie's father's name was said to have been Charles W. Wilson, mother unknown. Willie and Alice's children were said to have been sent to live with Willie's brother "TomJack" (not sure if that was a nickname or if it may have been Tom Jack or some form thereof.
My father and his siblings didn't really grow up around their father's side of the family so all of these names and dates are uncertain and searching census records and the such have yielded no results. I'm hoping perhaps a distant relative or Wilson family researcher may be able to help and if so, I would be forever thankful for any assistance.
