Husband Nicholas R. Propes - Married abt. 1837 in North Carolina. Parents: Richard and Sarah Hyde Wilson.
They had nine sons and one daughter.
For over a hundred years there was no tombstone at Flat Creek Baptist Church in southwestern Hall County for the graves of Nicholas and Mary Wilson Propes. In early 2003, just before her death, their great grand daughter, Lucille Light Cleveland showed John Propes, another of the Propes descendants the exact location of the graves. He felt that markers should be erected before their location was lost forever. Notices were sent out to as many of the Propes descendants as could be located. Money was donated to place the tombstones and enough was collected to also erect a marker for their oldest son Rufus' grave. His grave had also been unmarked except for a large rock like the ones marking Nicholas and Mary's graves.
