From what I have gathered, my 3rd great grandfather was born in Tenneessee in 1847 (not sure what part of TN or what county). He was listed on the 1900 census as living in Barren County, Kentucky. And in Macon County, Tenneessee in 1890. His name was Thomas E Wilson. Though in the 1880 census he listed his name as ''E.T. Wilson''. I have been trying to find out his father and mother for close to a year now. The closest I have gotten was to a Reuben Dee Wilson. But he only had one Thomas Wilson. A Thomas Lackey Wilson, born in 1846. Problem is, he never lived in Kentucky and died in Illinois. Can anyone lend a helping hand here? I'm a pretty novice genealogist.
