Wilson, Oxford--On Dec.10th,1846, my gggf, Giles Lyons Wilson, enlisted in Captain Elder's Company C, 2nd. Mississippi Infantry Regiment for the Mexican War at Greensboro,Winston County, MS.  Can someone tell me precisely where the old Town of Greesboro was located? I have heard it does not now exist. Wilson was married in Winston Co. in 1844 to Survella Adeline Oxford.  I have determined that this family perhaps lived near the Winston-Choctaw County line possibly and near Snowsville.  In 1850, the family was in Jackson Parish,Louisiana.  During the Civil War,Wilson enlisted in Col. Richard Taylor's 9th La. Infantry and later served in the 12th La. Infantry. Any info on Greensboro, Snowsville, and these ancestors will be greatly appreciated.
