aaaa This side of the family has been difficult to trace to any great extent, for now this will have to do. We have been able to trace back to a William Honnoll who died in November of 1809 in Williamson County, Tennessee. His will on record there stipulated that his wife and children receive 100 acres of land on Turnbull (a creek) in Williamson County. He also stipulated that if his wife remarried, the land was to be sold and the money divided equally between his wife and children.
He left 5 horses two of which are mares, a stock of hogs, cattle, and 150 bushels of corn. The Executor of the estate was
listed as Peter Honnoll. Peter is the only child of William that we have any record of at this time.
aaaa Peter Honnoll was born in Maryland in the year 1781. His wife's name was Mary.
aaaaSarah Honnoll was married to Solomon Cooper. Solomon stipulated in his will of June 26, 1876 that the bros and sisters of my deceased wife Sarah H. Cooper be left a share of his estate: William, Peter, Moses Honnell 9th (share); ch(child) of Mary Rodgers 9th; ch of Lucinda Jackson 9th; Louisa Wilson (wife of Ingram Wilson) 9th; Parmelia Regan (probably a daughter of Louisa and Ingram) 9th; Martha Wilson (probably Claiborn Wilsons wife) 9th; Martha Casey (probably a daughter of Louisa and Ingram)
aaaa Solomon Cooper had been a contemporary of Peter Honnoll, his deceased wife's father, having served together as grand jurors in Hardeman County , ca. 1828 in the town of Bolivar. The 1830 Census listed Solomon as a neighbor of Peter Honnoll in Hardeman County and the 1840 Census has him listed in Madison County. William Honnoll, the son of Peter and the brother of Martha Honnoll(married to Claiborn Wilson), was also listed in the 1840 Census in Madison County.
aaaaOn March 28, 1842 in Hardeman County, Tennessee Martha Honnoll married Claiborn Wilson
Another Wilson name shows up in the records of this period, and that is of Ingram Wilson. We do know that he was
married to Louisa Honnoll because their names show up on several land deeds as Ingram and Louisa Wilson. On January 2, 1853 Peter Honnoll sold Ingram Wilson, his son-in-law, 18 acres of land in the 10th district of Hardeman County for $25 (witnessed by Moses Honnoll and Peter Honnoll Jr.). In 1865 Ingram bought a tract of land in the 10th district of Hardeman County from Orin Bevil for $500. Almost three years later on November 22, 1867 Ingram Wilson bought a tract of land from Claiborn Wilson in the 16th district of Hardeman County for $500. Then on January 4, 1875 Ingram and Louisa Wilson sold 250 acres of land back to Claiborn Wilson for the sum of $600.
Because Louisa Honnoll and Martha Honnoll, both sisters, were married to a Wilson , and the interaction in the before mentioned deeds, we assume that Ingram and Claiborn were brothers There was also a Squire Wilson mentioned in various deeds with Ingram and Peter Honnoll (could he be another brother to Ingram and Claiborn ?).
aaaaSolomon Wilson was born January 12, 1850. He died January 24, 1924 and is buried at Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery
along side his wife Sarah. His son Tom is also buried there.
aaaa Henry C Wilson was born in 1860 in Hardemen County Tennessee and died May 13, 1927 in Chester County, Tennessee. He was married to Julina Naylor. Our family was always led to believe that her maiden name was Julina Naylor but she shows up on the 1900 Tennessee Census as Sara J. Sara was born in February of 1859 and died January 25, 1926 also in Chester County, Tennessee.
aaaa Thomas Ancil Wilson was born December 17, 1890 in Prairie County Arkansas moving to Chester County, Tennessee sometime before the 1900 census. On July 11, 1915 in Bemis, Tennessee he married Sophia Ruth Foust . Sophia was born in Henry County, Tennessee May 6, 1894. It was on December 14, 1957, three days before his birthday, when Thomas died of cancer. Sophia died March 7, 1999 at the age of 104. Paw Paw and Maw Maw, as they were affectionately called by their grandchildern and great grandchildren, are buired beside each other in Memorial Park Cementery in Memphis, Tennessee.
