(Jerilyn's Notes
this was a large and extremely confusing file with all these marriages.
I believe I have a file for John Wilson also, but they are so intertwined
I will have to work on it.
Hettie was the daughter of Edward Burroughs and Minerva Hoyt and she was born November 1845 according to 1900 census. Born in Chester, Meigs Co., Ohio.
John D. Wilson was the son of Robert Wilson and Margaret Dunlap. He was born in Pennsylvania.
