Dianna Wilson was the daughter of David Wilson & Mary Ann Tye. She married on March 26, 1814 in Greene County, Tennessee to John Godhard Crecelius, eldest of nine children of Johann Gotthard Crecelius & Elizabeth Ann Ausmus. John & Dianna had 9 children: Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Mahala, Phebe J., David Wilson, Diana, J. George, Adam, and Harrison. The two eldest daughters were named after their grandmothers; the eldest son was named after his maternal grandfather; the second son was named after his paternal grandfather.
Seven of the nine children moved from Indiana to central Iowa in the 1850s: Mary Ann Bartles, Mahala Conrad, Phebe Melton, David Wilson Crecelius, George Crecelius, Adam Crecelius, and Harrison Crecelius. Later, David and Harrison returned to southern Indiana. The other five rest in Conrad Cemetery in Grundy County, Iowa, with other family members.
Dianna's tombstone was still standing in 2002 in Kesner Cemetery---also called Crecelius Cemetery---southwest of Corydon, Indiana. The cemetery is in the woods on a forested mountain ridge that is now part of Harrison Crawford State Forest. I did not find a marker for John. Her stone calls her Dianna, wife of J.G. Creceleus.
