Hi? I'm Richard Antonette, Elijah T. Wilson is my GGGandfather. This page is very interesting. From it one finds that:

William and Mary moved from Noxubee Cty to Neshoba Cty after 3 Feb 1839 when E.T. was born and before 1842 when James W. was born. They lived at High Hill, Neshoba Cty, MS which is a place name located about 10 miles southwest of Philidelphia, MS. (Google Maps)

At High Hill (there topograhpy literally is a hill, there is a large cemetery south of C.R. 206 and a church on the north side at High Hill). Probably the High Hill Baptist Church?? 3119 Zion Road, Philidelphia, MS is closeby.

William and Mary moved from Neshoba Cty, MS to Petersburg, Lavaca County, TX after 26 Oct 1847 when Jennett Ann M. Wilson was born and before 23 Aug 1856 Gabriella Ellen Wilson was born.

Petersburg is a place name about 10 miles south of Hallettsville, TX and can be found on old maps located upstream of the Mossy Grove Church/Cemetery, but is on the east bank of Lavaca River in present-day Colorado County, TX.
