Mr. Alan Pitts at cssoldier@hotmail.com might be able to sort them out for you. In the mean time, the Roster of Confederate Soldiers, 1861-1865, shows the following WILSON soldiers from Tennessee:

Wilson, Aaron T. TN 53rd Inf. Co.B Cpl.
Wilson, Alfred TN 53rd Inf. Co.C
Wilson, Boon TN 53rd Inf. Co.D
Wilson, George W. TN 53rd Inf. Co.K
Wilson, Granderson TN 53rd Inf. Co.K
Wilson, Jasper W. TN 53rd Inf. Co.I
Wilson, John TN 53rd Inf. Co.C
Wilson, Morene TN 53rd Inf. Co.I
Wilson, T.A. TN 53rd Inf. Co.K

Usually, when you have this many men sharing the same surname and serving in the same unit, they are related to one another, either as brothers or cousins.
