JOSEPH B. WILSON was born in Butler County, Ky., in 1840, and is a son 
of Young E. and Mary D. (Cook) Wilson, and of Scotch-English descent.  
The parents came to Kentucky at a very early day, and the grandfather 
was the first county judge of Christian County, Ky.  Joseph B. lived on 
the farm until he was eighteen years of age, and then engaged in 
Summitt, Miss., in the livery business, which he continued until the 
beginning of the late war.  He enlisted in the Confederate Army in 1861, 
in Company H., Thirty-ninth Infantry, Mississippi Volunteers; upon the 
organization of the company he was elected first lieutenant, which 
position he held eight months, and in 1863 was commissioned captain of 
his company.  In 1863 he was captured at Point Hudson, and taken to New 
Orleans, where he was kept three months, and then taken to Governor's 
Island, N. Y., and thence to Johnson's Island, Ohio.  He was released 
June 14, 1865.  After the war he traded at Summitt, Miss., for two 
years, and then engaged in cotton planting in that State.  In 1880 he 
came to Warren County and farmed until October, 1884, when he engaged in 
the sale, exchange and livery business in parternship with J. L. 
Jenkins, which partnership still continues.  In 1870 Mr. Wilson married
