• Notes

  Notes from Sheridan C. Randolph in May, 2000....... All the information except William Henry Robertson and his descendants came to me from a source that appeared to have access to a Bible record. The later deaths and marriages may not have come from that record. I do believe that this is a complete record of John Wilson's children. According to the family he (JWR) had feet so large that the CSA could not provide him shoes for a uniform and instead put him in charge of a salt (saltpeter?) mine during the War. I think he was living with his oldest daughter in Brundidge when he died. Aunt Mary Lee Robinson told me that because he had five daughters before he had a son, that they nearly starved to death since there was no one to help JWR on the farm. She was given to some drama in this regard, but I am sure that it was a struggle to support the family.[Rob12.FTW]
