Unfortunately not Mike. I sent all the Wilson info to my cousin Martha who has all the old letters etc.of Joseph B.Willmeth and his family. Or at least those that have survived and she was not able to locate any Bill Wilson info within. Unfortunately also the majority of the period McKinney newspapers have not survived. I would suggest there must be more information somewhere in either Collin or Grayson County. This would have been too big a period news item to not have more recorded.

Most likely you are aware of the following findagrave memorial:

Birth: Oct. 28, 1837
Edgar Springs
Phelps County
Missouri, USA
Death: Jan. 24, 1869
Grayson County
Texas, USA

this is the famous bushwhacker bill wilson from missouri. he was supposedly robbed and killed in mantria,grayson,tx. no one seems to be able to find a grave on him in tx.

Burial:
Grayson Cemetery
Sherman
Grayson County
Texas, USA
Plot: unknown
