Note: adger Cemetery. Which is located on Highway 70, which used to be called Badger Road, going into Derby, Indiana. This is a an edited copy of an email sent to me on: Sat. 8 Sep 2001 07:38:12 -0700 (PDT) From: bill + sue russell <bill_sue1977@yahoo.com Subject:WILSON Genealogy To: Anthony Bourdon <anthonybourdon@yahoo.com> HI TONY: IT IS GOOD TO HEAR FROM OTHERS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE WILSONS. I WAS BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THEY HAD JUST STARTED AND STOP HERE IN PERRY COUNTY. I JUST STARTED RESEARCHING OUR FAMILY TREES THIS PAST MONTH AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO FAR YET. WE JUST GOT A NEW COMPUTER AND GOT ON LINE AND I GUESS THAT GOT ME GOING. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT IT BUT BY THE TIME I ASKED MY GRANDMOTHER, CLARA WILSON BADGER, SHE HAD EITHER FORGOTTEN OR DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HER PARENTS CAME FROM OR WHO HER GRANDPARENTS WERE. SHE ALWAYS SAID FROM KY BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHERE. SHE SAID HER FATHER, ADAM WILSON, WAS RAISED ON A PLANTATION IN KY AFTER HIS MOTHER DIED IN CHILDBIRTH AND HIS FATHER DISAPPEARED THE NIGHT HE WAS BORN. HE SAID HIS TWO SISTERS CAME TO SEE HIM ONCE WHEN HE WAS A CHILD BUT HE HAD RAN AND HIDE AS THEY WERE STRANGERS TO HIM. HIS FATHER WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A NATIVE AMERICAN AND HAD WENT TO TOWN TO GET DRUNK AFTER HIS WIFE DIED BUT NO ONE IN THE TOWN(?) REPORTED SEEING HIM AND SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW OF HIS WHEREABOUTS. MY MOTHER, BILLIE BADGER BRYANT, WAS QUITE A BIT YOUNGER THAN THE REST OF CLARA'S CHILDREN AND WAS BORN AFTER BOTH ADAM AND SARAH DIED SO SHE NEVER KNEW THEM. MY AUNT REMEMBERS AND HAS PICTURES OF THEM. I LOVE TO HAVE COPIES OF THEM BUT HERS ARE ONLY COPIES AND THEY ARE STARTING TO TURN AND SHE IS AFRAID TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THEIR FRAMES. SHE STATED THAT SARAH'S LAST NAME WAS SAPP AND SHE WASN'T SURE WHERE ANYONE GOT THE GARRETT. I KNEW WILLIAM (WILLIE) WILSON AND MAGGIE (MAMIE) WILSON BADGER BUT DON'T REMEMBER A WHOLE LOT ABOUT THEM. ADAM AND SARAH HAD 7 CHILDREN INSTEAD OF JUST THE FIVE LISTED ON ANCESTRY.COM. THEY WERE FRANCES ADAM, JOSEPH DEWITT, CHARLES D., MAGGIE MAY (MAMIE), WILLIAM N. (WILLIE), CLARA, AND BLANCH. CLARA AND BLAINE BADGER HAD 8 CHILDREN. THE 3 OLDEST ARE DEAD. I LIVE IN DERBY, IN ONLY ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE BADGER CEMETERY. THE LOCATION OF THE BADGER CEMETERY IS RIGHT OFF HWY 70 ABOUT 2 MILES BEFORE YOU GET TO DERBY, IN. ADAM AND SARAH WILSON, MAMIE AND PRESTON BADGER, AND NONA (BADGER) AND CHARLES WILSON ARE ALL BURIED THERE. CLARA AND BLAINE BADGER ARE BURIED IN THE GREENWOOD CEMETERY IN TELL CITY, IN. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE NELLIE AND WILLIE WILSON ARE BURIED BUT WILL ASK MY MOTHER AND AUNT. CLARA WASN'T SURE WHERE BLANCH AND JOSEPH WERE BURIED AS THEY WERE VERY YOUNG WHEN THEY DIED. I'M TRYING TO RESEARCH THE WILSONS, BADGERS, BRYANTS, AND MASTERSONS ALL AT THE SAME TIME WHICH ISN'T A VERY GOOD IDEA BUT THEY ARE ALL FROM THIS AREA. I GUESS I'D BETTER GO FOR NOW AS I'VE RAMBLED ON LONG ENOUGH. KEEP IN TOUCH. SUE The 1900 Census shows that Adam Wilson was born in Kentucky as well as bo th of his parents. As told by Sue Russell, gd/o Clara Wilson. Clara Wilson said that they came from KY. She said her father, Adam Wilso n, was raised on a plantation in KY. His mother died in childbirth and h is father disappeared the night he was born. He said his two sisters ca me to see him once when he was achild, but he ran and hid as they were st rangers to him. His father was supposed to have been a Native American a nd had gone to town to get drunk afterhis wife died, but no one in the to wn reported seeing him and they didn't know of his whereabouts. Headstone per Sue Russell Badger Cem. off Hwy 70 abt 2mi befoe Derby, IN. In the 1880 U.S. Census, it says that Adam and his parents were all born in Indiana?
Note: In an email from Sue Russell, she says that Adam WILSON is buried in B
