- Descendants of Thomas Graham (809 KB)

- Descendants of James Brock; born about 1790 (809 KB)
We are relatively certain that James Brock was the father of Alexander Brock, born July 6, 1812, in South Carolina. Alexander and James later migrated to Alabama where James died. Alexander migrated to Ouachita, Winn, and Grant Parishes in Louisiana. My cousin Max Hardberger provided much of the Brock history, augmented by my research of BLM records; and e-mail contacts with cousins, Carolyn Endel (Strahan), Grace Clowe, Elizabeth Arceneaux, and others by e-mail.
- Descendants of Hiram King and Mary Gray (809 KB)
Hiram King, 1810-1891, and Mary Gray, born 1816, were prolific progenitors, producing some 15 or more children. He was born in North Carolina and she was born in Georgia. They moved from Stewart County Georgia to Pelahatchie,Rankin County, Mississippi in 1857. A special thanks goes to my first cousin Max Hardberger for researching and writing the Wilson Family History. I have been unable to extend this branch of my genealogy any further back than Max did. I even went to the Stewart County Georgia in court house in Lumpkin to dig up additional information. That and internet queries have been futile.
- My ancestry for the last 1000 years (809 KB)
This GEDCOM file is as accurate as a professional investigator can make it. When I retired from investigative work in 1983, I couldn't quit. So I investigated my family history. Files outside the USA were found and recorded from Family Tree Maker CDs by my first cousin once removed, Laura Lee Wadman (Worden). We have no documentation other than that, but we believe they are accurate. Especially since they link us to William the Conqueror nearly a thousand years ago, and since they came from Family Tree Maker. Files inside the USA are documented from court records, family bibles, census records, and previously written family histories, etc.
- Descendants of Thomas Rogers, 1730-1820 (809 KB)

Adjalan Price is considered by many to be the most ancient ancestor known in the Price family history. His descendants are many, and documented in court records, censuses, family bibles, previously written family history books, etc. A lot of this information came from Rev. John E.

- Descendants of Joseph Edward Bozeman 1715-1784 (809 KB)
Rev. Joseph Woodruff Bozeman, D.D. wrote the book Sketches of the Bozeman Family and published it in Meridian, Mississippi in 1885. This GEDCOM file was gleaned from that book and subsequent family histories written by my great aunt, Lou Emma Price (Riter) in 1931. Their information has since been updated with the help of my first cousin once removed, Laura Lee Wadman (Worden), Aunt Emma's grandson, Burl Hulsey Jr., and many other cousins with whom I have corresponded by e-mail such as Diana Price, Pam Hargis, and Laura Lee Wadman.
- Descendants of John Hair (809 KB)
John Hair was born circa 1810 and married Margaret whose maiden name is unknown. After John's demise, she married a Kosht. John resided in Cumberland County, NC which later became Moore County, NC. John's brother, Peter Hair (Hare) lived next door to him. Some of this information was derived from the book "The Hutch" written by R.R. Massegee, and published in 1993. Also helpful was information recorded by my great aunt Lou Emma Price (Riter) in 1931; her grandson's, Burl Hulsey's update of her historical records; and Ancestors of Laura Lee Wadman written by her. The Hair name was also recorded as Hare, Haire, and Heare. They migrated from NC to Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

Frederick died there in Lowndes County. John migrated to Ouachita and Winn Parishes Louisiana. Research of these files included The Wilson Family Record written by my first cousin, Max Hardberger; Descendants of Fredrick Hilburn, written by Rev. Joel Hilburn; and my research of Bureau of Land Management records and censuses of Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. Assistance was also received from many other cousins via e-mail.
- Descendants of John Patric (Patrick), born 1429, (809 KB)
The information contained in this file for ancestors born before 1755 was furnished by Kathy Vincent of Salinas, Calif., who stated that the information was gleaned from newspapers, obituaries, and other records. I am grateful to her for providing so much information. In addition to that, I have documents including the last will testaments of John Patrick, born in Augusta County Virginia in 1755 and died in Warren County Kentucky August 29, 1816. His descendants who moved into Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Louisiana, and Missouri are well documented in court records after 1816. Several other e-mail contacts have been helpful by answering my queries posted on the Internet.

Our forefathers, Alexander Brock, Carroll Wilson and James M. Wilson, were living at or near Montgomery, just 16 miles northwest of Colfax when Negroes rioted.

None of them would have been proud of such participation and would not have told the story. My father, Tom Wilson, had not been born at the time, but he later expressed support of the actions by the "white malitia."

Cox, corrected dates, names, and places. None were significant enough to alter the intent of Rev. Cox.
