Francis T.
Wilson and Betsy L. Thompson married in Knox County, Tennessee 19 October 1830.[1]
According to
an article dated 9 February 1899 in the Crittenden Press,[2]
Elizabeth Wilson was born near Knoxville, Tennessee twelve days after the
birth of Robert E. Lee. She lived in Knoxville until she was 28 years of age
and married Francis T. Wilson on 19 October 1830. As a result of this marriage,
nine children were born, six of whom were living in 1899: Joseph F., John F.,
Robt. L., Margaret M. Deboe (relict of the late James M. Deboe), and Mary E.
Wilson, all of Crittenden County, and Sarah Jane Miller of Smithland, Kentucky.
"Aunt" Betsy came to
Crittenden County in December 1839 and settled on a farm five miles southeast
of Marion. She was living with her son, Joseph Wilson, in 1899. She professed
religion at Evans camp ground in Anderson County, Tennessee in 1828 and joined
the C.P. [Cumberland Presbyterian] Church at Springfield, Robertson County,
Tennessee in 1837. She joined Piney Fork Church by letter in 1840.
