WILSON, Josiah--born 1833 Casey Co. Was Elijah his father?

I'm hoping someone may have more information on my great grandfather Josiah S. Wilson, born November 1833 in Casey Co. He married Susan Brown 03 September 1856, also in Casey County, according to the Marriage Register.
The person who performed the marriage ceremony was Elijah Wilson. Was this person Josiah's father? The 1880 Casey Co. Census shows Josiah's occupation as "preacher".
Elijah appears in the 1856, 1857, 1858, 1859 and 1860 Tax List in Trace Fork, and there was a Josiah Wilson at that location too, though I have no proof it's MY Josiah Wilson.
Does this look familiar?
Thanks,
Michael
