My oldest relative that I can trace back via the 1870 census was born in Knoxville, AL, in Greene County. Her name was Mariah Wilson (born in 1829) and she married a man named Jack Wilson. So, I’m assumed they were owned by someone named Wilson. Anyone know of slave owners in that county named Wilson? Thanks for any input!

I am researching the Hough families (African American) from Bullock and Pike County. Th earliest
ancestors were Thomas & Celie, born in GA between 1810-1820, and from what I gathered, had six
children (William, Tena, Jackson, Peter and Thomas). Rural Alabama vital records are pretty sparse,
especially for people of color.
