The hay had been rolled in the field behind the Wilson Cemetery in late June 2012. Over 20 ancestors of Isaac and Caroline Greer Wilson examined the grave sites of our family members of whom most of us had never met.
In 1875, the heirs of Isaac divided the large farm into various subdivisions. Later, some children such as my great grandmother, Frances Caroline Wilson Osborne, sold their pieces and began to drift away. Frankie and her husband, G.W. Osborne, moved to Cove Creek, NC and later to Tennesee and Virginia. The cemetery sits on the parcel, #6 below, labeled Frankie Caroline, just south of Martha Evaline Wilson's plot, #5.
Today the road deeper into the original farm looks like this below. The dirt and graveled road is named after a descendant, Oscar Wilson.
