SUBJECT: WISDOM, WILLIAMS, HICKS
I need the parents and any other information on Jasper WISDOM b ca1828
TN. Married Rachel WILLIAMS 1859 in Franklin Co. Rachel's mother
married a Mr. HICKS as her step brother, ? Hicks, stood up for them.
They lived around the Ozark area. He was in the CW, KS Inf. They moved
to Sebastian Co around mid-late 1870s, he died 1885. She moved to Polk
Co then Heavener, OK and died 1915. Several of their children were
married in Franklin Co. Is there a possibility that William and Lucy
(Robertson) Wisdom were his parents? I can't find a real connection but
they had a "child" in 1828 that remained unidentified. I can't find him
in any 1850 census. William and Lucy were in Hardin Co., TN from 1821
moving to Franklin Co 1851. Any help appreciated, Ginger [waygin@sprynet.com]

NAME: Jim Cook
SUBJECT: WEBBER
I am looking for any info on Nicholas WEBBER and his line he
appears in the 1880 census of Washington county in the Baden/
Vineyard township. He had the following children Lewis B.1861
John B. 1865 (MO.), Mary B. 1867, Margaret B. 1872, Fannie Etta
B. 1877 in Dutch Mills (My ggrandmother), Jane B. 1879.
His wife does not appear on this census so I assume she is dead
by this time, he was supposed to be the blacksmith in Baden
at this time, and the census record bears this out. Him and his
wife were both born in Germany, so I have no way of knowing when
he first came to ARK. Family tradition has it that he was related
to the Webbers which founder Webbers Falls OK, but I have not
proven that yet.
Anybody with any info on this line would be greatly appreciated
and I will provide anyone interested with any info I have, as
scant as it is. thanks J. Cook
