Carroll County Kentucky Wilsons Updated 29 Dec 2020 by Michael Massey

Wilson families have inhabited Carroll County Kentucky since the early 1800s. Allen Wilson and Thomas Wilson, two original (unrelated) ancestors living in Carroll Co well before 1850, had Wilson-named descendants who are living in the area today. Joshua Wilson moved to Carroll Co from Floyd Co IN in the 1870s and also has Wilson-named descendants in the area. The Thomas “Grant” Wilson family had been living nearby in Owen Co KY since before 1900 and many of their descendants transplanted across Eagle Creek and lived and worked in Worthville and environs starting in the 1920s. The Bert Wilson family moved from Grant Co to Wheatley area of Owen Co and various descendants made their way to Worthville and environs after 1940.

Wilson is a common name, and Carroll Co was a rich farming and trade area, so individuals and families with the Wilson surname have moved in and out of Carroll Co through the years.

We started by evaluating Carroll County census records, marriage records, and Find-A-Grave cemetery pages. Records from nearby counties, particularly Trimble, Henry, and Owen, are accessed when relevant. Source references are listed below.

In cases where a particular family tree has an ancestor with a Wikitree profile, we should add a link to the profile and expect that most details will be updated there.

Extended families often spanned county (and state) lines. The following counties are particularly important in this Wilson research, since many of the older Wilson families were from the Mill Creek or Worthville area:

Owen County – south of Carroll across Eagle Creek and east of the Kentucky River
Henry County – south of Carroll and west of the Kentucky River with no natural border
Trimble County – west of Carroll with only a partial natural border at the south end (Georges Creek)

Of less interest in this Wilson research are the other border counties:

Gallatin County – east of Carroll with no natural border
Switzerland County IN – north of Carroll across the Ohio River
Jefferson County IN – north of the west end of Carroll across the Ohio River

The primary goal of this project is to identify Wilsons who lived in Carroll County KY (or nearby areas in Gallatin, Owen, Henry, and Trimble counties in Kentucky and Switzerland and Jefferson counties in Indiana) for a significant length of time and/or who were ancestors of Wilson persons now living in Carroll Co.

A secondary goal is to identify descendants of the iconic David Wilson, who lived along Mill Creek in the early 1800s. You can read more about him here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wilson-46768#David_Wilson. If even a part of the stories written about him were true (it was claimed he had 40+ children), then he likely had several descendants in the area. The Mill Creek watershed crosses through Trimble Co and into Henry Co around Turners Station, which is full of Wilson descendants. In addition, not far southward from the Mill Creek mouth at the Kentucky River is Worthville and the mouth of Eagle Creek, forming the boundary (mostly) between Carroll and Owen Counties. Eagle Creek is a much larger watershed, encompassing Grant Co, Owen Co, and even Boone and Scott counties. Migration through those waterways was common in the pre-railroad 1800s.

Right now, this project just has one member, me. I am Michael Massey.

Here are some additional tasks that can be done. I'll be working on them and could use your help.

  • Identify parents and grandparents of current Carroll Co Wilsons and see if and how they may fit into the schema.
  • Create and/or update profiles for Wilson individuals on Wikitree.
  • Identify and research other sources of information on Wilson families in the area.

Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!

The historical Carroll Co Wilson families are those who lived in Carroll County, Kentucky before 1900 and had descendants in the county up through 1940 and/or the present day. There are three families that meet these criteria:

^ Thomas Wilson family
* John and Margaret (Peggy) Stephenson Wilson family (Allen Wilson)
~ Joshua F Wilson family

Other families fall into an era-specific category because they and their Wilson descendants were present in Carroll Co before 1940, lived (or had Wilson-surnamed descendants who lived) in Carroll County for at least 20 years, but no Wilson descendants remained in 1940 or later.

+ Francis Wilson family
§ Robert J Wilson family
` Levi B Wilson family
¶ George A Wilson family

Other families moved into and lived in Carroll Co in the 1900s and had Wilson-named descendants who were living there (or nearby) since then. These families predominate:

☼ Thomas Grant Wilson
¬ Bert Wilson
† Herman Wilson
※ Francis Travis Wilson family

{1830- } ^ Thomas Wilson (bef 1820-aft 1880)

Thomas Wilson was an adult in Carroll Co as early as 1830 and lived until at least 1880. See Thomas W. Wilson for more detail. He was first documented in Carroll Co in the 1830 census and descendants were living in Carroll Co up through 1940. Note: Although there are many descendants of this clan in Carroll Co today and nearby regions, few have the Wilson surname. Of relevance to Carroll Co Wilsons, he had three sons and two daughters with descendants in the region. Other sons and daughters are listed on his profile page.

Louisa / Eliza Wilson Sampson Jordan (13 Aug 1832 – 24 Jul 1920) was Thomas’s oldest daughter, and she ended up in Louisville. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wilson-46768#Eliza_Wilson_Sampson_Jordan for more information. She had no descendants in Carroll Co or surrounding counties.

Sarah “Elizabeth” Wilson Sturdivant (24 Dec 1834 – 3 Aug 1919) moved to Arkansas with her father’s family and married there. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wilson-46768#Sarah_Elizabeth_Wilson_Sturdivant for more information. She had no descendants in Carroll Co or surrounding counties.

{1840- } * Allen Wilson (1810-1885)

Allen Wilson (1810-1885) was the heir to the John and Peggy (Margaret) Stephenson Wilson land in Carroll County. Perhaps apart from his youngest brother, John S, Allen was the only son to stay in Carroll Co. He had 6 sons and 2 daughters.

Many of Allen’s sons were married in Henry Co KY. It was perhaps easier to get to New Castle than Carrollton, and their spouses may have been from Henry Co.

* William Wilson (1839-?)

William was living with Allen and Ann Hartman Wilson in 1850 and 1860. I am not sure what happened to him after that. He may have been a nephew, son of Allen’s brother Green Wilson, as some sources have a William Wilson living elsewhere.

Sources: 1850ccc, 1860ccc

* John Peter Wilson (1844-1933)

Pete (John Peter) Wilson (1 Dec 1844 – 20 Feb 1933). Pete married Norena Crouch and had 8 sons and 4 daughters. Sometime between 1870 and 1880, the family moved from Mill Creek to Poplar Grove precinct in Owen Co.

* Allen S Wilson
* Ben Wilson

{1840-1880?} + Francis Wilson

The Francis Wilson family moved to Carroll Co from Mercer Co KY before 1840 and lived in Carroll Co for a substantial period in the mid-1800s. There were 7 males living with him in 1850 and 4 in 1860. He married Elizabeth Tyson in 2 Feb 1829, so it makes sense that all the males were his sons. Unfortunately, this Wilson clan is hard to track after 1860. I could find nothing definitive on Harvey, Ben, John, or Rezin. Emmaline married Montraville Clark 17 Mar 1868 and was living in the Mill Creek area in 1870 and 1880.

I assume Francis died before 1870, since his daughter, Mary Ellen, was living with Emmaline in 1870, and married Thomas J Wilson (no relation, from Bourbon Co KY) later that year. She died 5 Apr 1874, about a week after bearing a son, Monterville Wilson, who died a few months later, on 29 Jul 1874. I do not know what happened to her husband, or whether they had any other children.

Of the sons I was able to track, it appears that they left the area and are not contributors to Carroll County Wilsons.

+ William Wilson

William was Francis’s oldest son, born about 1830. He was living with his parents in 1850, but then disappears. A William Wilson, age 50, showed up in 1880, working as a farmhand in Mill Creek – but if that was him, where was he in 1860 and 1870? There is no evidence that William had any children.

Sources: 1850ccc, 1880ccc?

+ Shelby Wilson

Shelby Wilson, age 35, married Charlottie “Lottie” Turner, 18, in Trimble County on 22 Nov 1866. In 1880, they were living in Lockport, Henry County with 6 children. In 1881, Shelby Jr was born. It appears that the whole family moved to Grant Co KY, where he and most of his children were living in the 1900s.

Shelby served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and his wife, Lottie, applied for a pension after his death in Grant County on 20 Mar 1919. On the application she mentioned that she had 6 children living, 3 boys and 3 girls, all married.

Sources: 1850ccc

+ George W Wilson

George Wilson was the fifth son from the 1850 census, age 9. He did not appear in the 1860 census, but was listed in the 1870 census, age 30, married to Malinda, age 40. George W married Malinda E Corley in Trimble County in 1865, second marriage for both, so only the last two children were theirs. The first four children were listed as Wilsons, but they were more likely hers since they were too old to be George’s and were born before the Wilson-Corley marriage. I am unable to find either person’s first marriage record, and I wonder if the “second marriage” on George’s part might have been a clerical error.

A working hypothesis is that Malinda married a Mr. Corley, who died during the Civil War (the last of the four children was born around 1859). She then married George, perhaps after a brief first marriage on his part.

We do not know what happened to George after 1870. Malinda remarried to Thomas Handlon (documented as her 3rd marriage) in 1875, and she and her two Wilson children were living with them in 1880. In 1883, Melinda Handlon was shown as landowner in the Mill Creek district in the Indexed County Land Ownership maps. In Jul 1893, Melissa Handlon married George W Wiley in Carroll Co.

A Malinda E Wilson lived until her death in Carrollton 16 May 1911. The informant, a Mrs. Chris(?) Buck of Cincinnati, gave Malinda’s parents’ names as John H and Melinda E Bryant. In 1910, she was living in Carrollton, age 80 and widowed, and reported 8 children born, but only 3 survived. This seems to fit George’s wife’s profile, but why was she going by Wilson and not Handlon? Which of her children survived?

George had one biological son, Garland Wilson, as listed in the 1880 census. I was unable to find him after 1880.

____[George W → son of Francis Wilson]

{1850-1880} ` Levi B Wilson

Levi B Wilson was first named in the 1850 census, living in Carrollton. His place of birth was listed as Woodford Co KY. On 4 Nov 1852, he married Nancy G King, and the marriage record documented him as born in Woodford Co KY. By 1860, L B and Nancy had 4 children. In 1863, he registered for the U.S. Civil War draft despite owning 2 slaves in 1860. In 1870, he goes by something like Bolivar Wilson in the faded Carroll Co census record.

In 1880, there is a Levi B Wilson living in Crawford Co Kansas. The children closely match the ones in 1870, so I have reason to believe it is the same person. All his children except for his oldest daughter, Sallie Kay (Sarah) traveled with him to Kansas. His Find-a-Grave record has him as Levi Buchanan Wilson.

The Carrollton Democrat had an article on 10 Jan 1891, page 5 column 1, titled, “Ex-Sheriff of Carroll County, now living in Kansas”

Sources: 1850ccc, 1860ccc, 1870ccc

{1860-1912} § Robert J Wilson

Robert J Wilson was born in Fayette Co KY and moved to Carrollton before 1860, living with his mother. There he married Isabelle “Belle” Scott in 1865. His father, John, moved to Carrollton by 1870, and was living with his mother and sister, Sarah.

They had 6 children, including 2 sons. The oldest son, Scott Spaulding Wilson moved to Fairfield Co OH. I was unable to find any information on his second son, R. J. Wilson, Jr.

Robert J Wilson, Sr. lived in Carroll Co until his death 28 Jun 1912. Several of his daughters remained in the area.

Nannie I Wilson married Otto Oster in Carroll Co in 1899. The Oster family moved to Ohio where they lived in the 1930s and 40s.

{1871- } ~ Joshua F Wilson

Joshua didn’t arrive in Carroll Co from Indiana until sometime after the 1870 census, but his descendants remain there to this day and are a significant part of Wilson-surnamed people in Carroll and surrounding counties. There are wo major questions about Joshua. 1) Where did he come from? 2) What happened to him after the 1880 census?

What facts do we know about Joshua F Wilson?

He married Elenor Lewis on 6 Sep 1871 in Carroll Co. On the application for marriage, he claimed to be 22 years old, a “Sewing machine agent”, born in Jeffersonville IN. He claimed his father was born in Switzerland Co IN and his mother in Vevay IN. He claimed this was his first marriage, and that his residence was Carroll Co. Elenor was only 14 years old!
On the 1880 census he was a landowner living in Worthville precinct with his wife and three oldest children.
Joshua was a patron of the 1883 D J Lake Atlas, and he owned 130 acres. He claimed to be born in Floyd Co IN and that he settled in Carroll Co in 1876.
The death certificate for his daughter Florence claims J. F. Wilson and Ella Lewis as parents
The death certificate for his son Fred B Wilson claims Josh F Wilson and Ella Louis [sic] as parents
The Social Security information for his son Harry Williams Wilson claims Joshue and Ella N Wilson as parents.

It is very likely that our Joshua was the Joshua F Wilson recorded in the 1850 census, one year old and living with his father David S Wilson, 21, and his mother Mary, 20. [1] The 1849 date of birth matches that of his marriage application. The places of birth on the application are close enough to the census record. But what happens then?

In 1860, a Joshua F Wilson was living with a John M and Mary Burns on Goose Island IL (Thebes IL P.O.), which is about 15 miles up the Mississippi River from where it meets the Ohio.[2] My original hypothesis was that Mary Burns was the remarried widow of David Wilson from 1850. Her age in the 1860 census record was smudged and it could have been 20 or 30, the latter of which would coordinate with Mary Wilson’s age. But it has become clear that Mary Burns was Mary Hewett, who married John Burns in Gallatin Co KY in 1859.[3] According to the marriage records, he was already living in Illinois by then, but Mary was living in Gallatin Co, and both stated they were born in Switzerland Co IN.[4]

Living adjacent in 1860 was Eliza Burns, John’s mother, two Burns teenagers, and three other Wilson children: Amanda J, 9, John, 7, and Adolphus, 6.[5] (These names were transcribed as “Nilson” in the census automation.) A current working theory is that Mary Wilson of the 1850 census was Eliza’s daughter who died sometime after having Adolphus in 1854. It would make sense that Eliza, around 50, would take in her grandchildren, and farm the oldest one off to her son. The two young men living with Eliza were probably not her sons, since they were not living with her in 1850.

Eliza, her husband Alexander, son John, and two other children were living in Owen Co in 1850.[6] Alexander was living in Owen Co in 1840, and the ages of his children indicate that he had a daughter age 10-14 which could have been Mary Burns Wilson.[7]

The John Burns family ended up moving back to Cincinnati in 1870, John Burns, Mary, and Eliza with additional children,[8], and his mother Eliza joined them by 1880.[9]

It is not clear where Eliza Jane was living in 1870, and it appears that the Wilson children were on their own by then. My best guess is that Joshua was living in Putnam Co IN, age 20, as an apprentice tin worker with the Amadeus Kunklen family. Working with metals would put him in line to be a sewing machine agent in 1871 for his marriage to Elenora.

Coming back to the area where he and his parents were born makes sense, particularly as the railroad was being built around that time. There is a coincidental series of events between him and Adolphus that makes more sense if they were brothers.

  1. They both appear in Carroll Co after 1870
  2. They both claim Indiana nativity
  3. They both marry Carroll Co women after 1870
  4. They both appear living in Carroll Co in the 1880 census
  5. They both disappear after 1880

No death certificate or Find-A-Grave information is available for Joshua. We can assume that he died before 1900, and that it was during the 6 ½-year gap Feb 1891 and Sep 1897:

On 15 Sep 1897, Elenora Wilson married G S Tingle in Carroll Co. There is no indication on the marriage license or certificate whether Elenora was widowed or divorced.
In 1900, his wife was living with George Tingle and his two children and her four youngest children with the surname Wilson. Interestingly, she claimed to be married 5 years (it was only three), with 11 children born and 8 surviving. The youngest, Mary, was born in Nov 1891, meaning Joshua died no earlier than her estimated conception in Feb 1891.

What happened to Elenora after 1900? George Tingle was living by himself in 1910. She had a son, Sylvester Tingle, who was living with his half-sister Florence Stafford and her husband in 1910 (although he was listed as Sylvester Wilson since two other half-siblings, Flora and Fred B, were also living in the household). Some family historians document her death as 10 Nov 1902 in Carroll Co. This seems reasonable and likely. Her son Sylvester would have been about 18 months old. He went on to live with his sister Florence, who was probably the only mother he knew.

Research on Elenora is complicated by the observation that there seems to be another Elenora Tingle in Carroll Co about the same age.

Joshua had four sons, John A, Harry William, Ira D (later known as R. D.) and Frederick B, all of whom had male children who contributed to the Wilson family. See below.

He had four known daughters:

Florence Wilson Stafford (10 Feb 1877 – 5 Nov 1912) was present in the 1880 census. She married Rollie Stafford 25 Nov 1894 in Switzerland Co, and in 1910, she was living with husband Rollie Stafford and three of her siblings: Flora (24), Fred B (26), and Sylvaster Wilson (8), all identified as Rollie’s siblings-in-laws. The latter was actually Sylvester Tingle, Elenora’s son by G. S. Tingle. Florence died in 1912 after a long hospitalization, and Sylvester continued to live with Rollie Stafford even after he remarried.
Flora Wilson (b. Jan 1887) was living with her mother and stepfather in 1900. Flora was living with her sister Florence in 1910.
Ruth Wilson (b. Apr 1889) was living with her mother and stepfather in 1900. I do not know where she was living after that.
Mary Wilson (b. Nov 1891) was living with her mother and stepfather in 1900. I do not know where she was living after that.

What happened to the three youngest daughters? That is a huge mystery. Sharon Wilson, daughter of George F and Minnie Wilson, had no information on them nor did she recall Sylvester Tingle.[10]

~ John A Wilson 1873-aft 1910, bef 1918

John A had one son, George, before he disappeared (presumed dead) after the 1910 census.

Family information from Kathy Lucas: John A. Wilson, son of Joshua and Ella, married Corda Darbro about 1899. They are listed in the 1900 Carroll County Census. He was a railroad worker. Child listed is Ethel, born 1899. John and Corda had one other child, George F. Wilson, born in 1903. Ethel Wilson married William Hart in Louisville on June 29, 1918. Her marriage certificate lists her father as John Wilson, deceased, and mother, Cordie Darbro, deceased.

John A Wilson married Millie Baker about 1907. Millie Baker was first married to Charlie Hunt in 1896. The children of Carlie Hunt and Millie Baker were Willie B. Hunt and Addie E. Hunt. John A. Wilson and Millie had a daughter, Florence, born in 1908. She married Dusty Coleman. Addie E. Hunt married Lonnie Marshall.

During the 1920 census, after John’s death, Millie, her two daughters Addie and Florence, and son-in-law Lonnie Marshall, were living in Worthville district. For some reason, she referred to herself as “Millie Hunt”, using her first husband’s name (she was the census informant). In later records she used Millie Wilson.

Joseph William Wilson, Jr., age 72 and a resident of Carrollton, passed away Thursday, April 30, 2020 at Gallatin Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Born August 22, 1947 in Carroll County, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Joseph Wilson, Sr. and Helen Popp Bell. In addition to his parents, Mr. Wilson was preceded in death by a brother, Tommy Wilson. Mr. Wilson was a veteran of the United States Air Force and is survived by two brothers: Tim Wilson and Ronald Wilson; five sisters: Sandy Taylor, Kim Popp, Oneida Rose, Shirley Statler and Danielle Chadwell.

Robert Keith “Cotton” Wilson was born 13 Jan 1940 to George and Minnie Frances Earls Wilson.[12] He was living with his large family (4 brothers and a sister) at age 2 months during the 1940 census. He was residing in Worthville when he died 16 Apr 1981.[13]

He married Dolores Yvonne Hopkins (1941-1971), daughter of B F and Cathleen McClure Hopkins of Turner Station. She was born 5 Dec 1941 to Kathline [sic] McClure Hopkins.[14] She died on 29 Aug 1971 in Carroll County[15] A Social Security claims record validates this information.[16] She got her Social Security card while living in Indiana,[17] which makes sense since her much younger brothers and sisters were born in Madison around that time.

Her son, Brian, notes that she passed away in 1971 from a stomach surgery that turned to gangrene. He wasn’t yet 6 years old at the time. Dolores is not mentioned in the obituaries of her two siblings that acknowledged family members who preceded them: Pamela,[18] and Bobby,[19] but both mention a Bonnie Wilson.

Cotton and Dolores had a son, Brian, and a daughter. Dolores had a daughter by a previous marriage.

Harry W Wilson was living in Franklin Co KY in 1900, Louisville in 1910, then Indianapolis IN, where he registered for the WWI draft and lived thereafter.

~ R D (Ira D) Wilson 1891-1968

R D moved to Louisville, where he worked for the railroad for many years. He served during the Spanish-American War and that was about when he began using “R. D.” instead of Ira D. Sharon Wilson, a daughter of George F and Minnie Wilson, remembered R. D. and recalls, “he used to visit the family in Worthville, that he drove a Cadillac and dressed in fine clothes so they all thought he must be really rich. She knew he moved to California and that he had a son.”[20]

His son, Rollie E Wilson, ended up in Sacramento CA and R. D. moved there after his retirement. Brother Sylvester was mentioned in his obituary.

~ Frederick B Wilson 1885-1915

Fred Wilson married Maud French Stafford and lived in Carroll Co in 1900 and 1910 and died on 19 May 1915 after falling off a railroad trestle. His 1910 occupation was bridge carpenter, but the accident occurred while walking the tracks on his way home. He had two daughters, Mildred F and Marguerite.

Maud remarried to Edgar Miller, and she and her daughters were living with his family in Carrollton during the 1920 census. She had another daughter by this marriage, Marian Henrietta, and the family (except for Mildred) were living in Louisville in 1930.[21]

Mildred was born to Maude Stafford on 8 Nov 1911 in Carroll Co and was actually named “Frederick M” (Frederique?). She married Charles Briscoe on 26 Jan 1929,[22] claiming she was born and resided in Louisville, but the marriage license was obtained in Indiana. On her mother’s obituary, she was listed as Mrs. Mildred Hill of Los Angeles CA.

Marguerite married Barry Soper and they were living in Dearborn MI when her mom died in 1937 and in Wyandotte MI during the 1940 census.[23]

{1878-1907} √ Adolphus S Wilson

Adolphus S Wilson married Susan Searcy O’Neal in Carroll Co on 7 Feb 1878 and was living in the Carrollton precinct in Carroll Co in 1880, age 25, with his wife (14 years older!), daughter Cora, and two stepchildren, who were designated as Wilsons, but were definitely O’Neals. Wife Susan, son Robert O’Neal, and daughter Cora were living in Carrollton in 1900. Susanna’s first marriage was to Lafayette O’Neal. Susannah has a Find-A-Grave entry in the Searcy Cemetery, but there is no indication of when she died. Carrollton IOOF Cemetery does contain a stone for Susanna Wilson, 1841-1907.

An Adolphus Wilson, age 15, was living in Scott Co IN with his parents in 1870,[24] but was also living with his brother in 1880.[25] Had he left Susan and returned home, and was he counted in both places? The Adolphus in all sources claimed to be born in Indiana. However, the Scott Co records are consistent in saying both parents were born in KY, whereas the Carroll Co records diverge:

1860 Scott Co census – father born in KY, mother born in KY
1870 Scott Co census – father born in KY, mother born in KY
1878 Carroll Co Marriage – father born in VA, mother born in IN
1880 Carroll Co census – father born in IN, mother born in KY
1880 Scott Co census – father born in KY, mother born in KY

In researching Joshua F Wilson with Kathy Lucas, I discovered another Adolphus living adjacent to a Joshua Wilson in Goose Island, Alexander Co, IL in 1860. (Goose Island is about 15 miles up the Mississippi River from where it meets the Ohio). That Joshua is a pretty good guess for the Carroll Co Joshua (see above), and so I currently believe that the Goose Island Adolphus is the best guess for this Adolphus. Both young men are absent in the 1870 census. A narrative might look like: Joshua moves to Carroll Co in the early 1870s and buys land. Things go well for him, so he writes to his half-brother to join him. Adolphus moves to the area and marries a widow.

On the 1900 census, Susan claimed her status as widowed, indicating that Adolphus died sometime between 1800 and 1900. It is doubtful that he had any other children; Cora was the only Wilson child listed for Susan in the 1890 or 1900 census. There is no clear marriage or family for Cora Wilson, but there are half a dozen potential situations in nearby counties and metropolitan areas. Susanna died around 1906-1907. There is a Find-A-Grave memorial with a tombstone image that shows Susanna buried in Carrollton IOOF cemetery, 1861-1907. Another Find-A-Grave has no image and no date of death and shows her buried in the Searcy family cemetery.

{1896-1930} ⁿ Charles Burton Wilson (1854-1937)

Charles Burton Wilson married Bertha Nicholas in Ghent on 3 Mar 1896. This is the only marriage I have found that is not in the marriage index. They had a daughter, Hallie, born in 1899, and the family was living in Switzerland Co IN in 1900[26] and back in Gallatin Co in 1910.[27] Bertie died in 1915, and Charles (widowed) and son Perry were living in Sanders Eagle District in Carroll Co during the 1920 census. Hallie had married Leon Hamilton and they had a daughter Leonora and were living in Covington in 1920.[28]

By 1930, Charley and Perry had moved back to Gallatin Co.[29]

Charles died in Sparta in 1937.[30]

Sources: 1896ccm, 1920ccc

Elzie T Wilson

Charles had a son, Elzie Wilson, before he married Bertie. Elzie and his wife Maud were living next to his grandmother Eliza J Wilson in 1910 in Sparta, Owen Co.[31] Elzie was the postmaster at Sparta for many years.

On his 23 Dec 1964 death certificate, the informant, Mrs. Martha Dunloy (who was his daughter), listed his grandmother, Eliza Jane Bledsoe, as Elzie’s mother. Who was his mother? A Charley B Burton (both the characteristic nickname and the middle initial “B”) married Georgie E Green on 7 Mar 1887, 7 months before Elzie was born[32] suggesting a marriage of necessity. Georgie Wilson married Chris Buck in Gallatin Co 15 Mar 1898.[33] However, in the 1900 and 1910 censuses, Georgia Buck claimed zero children.

Perry Franklin Wilson

Perry Franklin Wilson was the son of Bertha Nicholas.[34] He was living with his father in Carroll Co in 1920. He married Sarah Elizabeth Kendall and was living with her, her sister, and two sons (Ramon and Ronald) in Covington in 1940.[35] They went on to have a third son, Richard W.

Francis Travis Wilson Sr. was born in Virginia and lived in Henry County, near Turner’s Station, since before 1830. He apparently used both names in records. He died sometime after 1880.

He married had two daughters:

  1. Martha, b.1830, married James McGrew and had 3 children. She later married L. C. Bail.
  2. Zerilda (Gerilda?), b.1837, there is no record of her after the 1870 census.

He had two sons, Rowley and Travis Jr,, who are detailed below. He also had a son, James W, who died in childhood. Beginning around 1905, some of his descendants began marrying, living, and being buried in Carroll Co.

Sidney Smith grew up in Henry Co and died in Shelby Co, but he lived between 1930 and 1940 in Carroll Co. He had one son, Norvin Bryant Wilson, who married in Carroll Co in 1911, but was living in Trimble Co for the 1918 WWI draft. It looks like the family moved to Louisville area in the 1930s (and never lived in Carroll Co as far as I can tell). Sidney’s daughter, Flossie, married Jay Dunn and died in Carroll Co.

{1910-1980?} ¶ George A Wilson (1891-1964)

George A Wilson (15 Jun 1981 – 3 Feb 1964) was a WWI veteran who lived with the Cline family in Ghent in 1910 and 1920. In 1910, he was listed as a “servant”.

He married Maggie Pearl Helm in 1911 in Carroll Co and had two daughters, Virenda and Lucinda. There is some confusion: He went into the military and left for Europe 9 Apr 1918 from Hoboken NJ, and his wife was listed as living in Eagle Station KY. But records report that Maggie died 21 Jan 1918. He had two daughters by that marriage, Virenda and Lucinda.

In the 1920 he was living with the Cline family, listed as “adopted”. His two daughters were “adopted” granddaughters. Later that year, 13 May 1920, he married Ida May Martin in Ghent. The marriage record is revealing: His dead wife’s parents, James S and Hattie Helm, served as witnesses at the wedding. He listed his place of birth as Augusta KY and his parents as William and Carrie Wilson. Ida May Martin had married Earl Martin (no known relation) in 1918 and they were still listed as living together (a few houses away from George) 22-24 Jan 1920 when the census was taken. They were divorced soon afterwards.

Ida was a Carroll Co Wilson descendant of Thomas Wilson, through his youngest daughter, Katie.

George and Ida had two sons, Curtis A and Stanley L. Wilson. (Stanley was actually named Levena Stanley, but he changed it sometime before the WWII draft.) They moved to Indiana, and were living there in 1930.

Both daughters of George’s first wife Pearl were living with their maternal aunt Mary (Mamie?) Helm Morgan in English in 1930. Both were married in Carroll Co: Lucinda married William Harlow in 1932 and Virenda married Henry T McEndre in 1936. Lucinda and William lived for a time in Worthville before settling in Indiana. Virenda lived in Cincinnati in 1940.

George later moved to Cincinnati, and was living with his daughter in 1940.[37] He died in Cincinnati in 1964[38] and was buried in the National Cemetery in Dayton.[39][40]

George’s son Curtis moved to Clermont Co OH and lived and died there.

George’s son Stanley married Margaret Louise Stewart, a Texas native, in San Antonio, TX 23 Dec 1961, but they evidently spent several years living in Carroll Co. Although they moved back to San Antonio and both died there, they are buried in the English Cemetery (see below). Stanley’s Courier-Journal obituary references a nickname “Bennie” that is not found elsewhere.

{1920-?} ° Edward Wilson (1868-1937)

Edward Wilson (26 Jan 1868 – 2 Oct 1937) moved to Carroll Co sometime before 1923. He was living there when he married Nora Packham 18 May 1923 in Switzerland Co IN. On the marriage registration, he stated he was born in Boone Co KY. He and Nora lived in Carroll Co during the 1930 census with son Edward Jr and Stanley K (Packham, her son by a previous marriage, incorrectly identified as a Wilson). Edward Sr died 2 Oct 1937 in Carroll Co (in the fall after the infamous spring 1937 flood), and the informant on his death certificate, Lully May Bohlinger of Indianapolis, listed Sallie Wilson as his mother (no name given for his father).[41] His wife (listed as widowed) and son, Edward Jr., lived in Carrollton during the 1940 census.

After some interesting research, it turned out that Lula May was Edward’s daughter by a previous marriage to Sallie Bradley 1897 in Dearborn Co IN. Lula identified her father’s mother as Sally but didn’t know his father’s name.

There was an Edward Wilson, age 50, living in English during the 1920 census. Several Allen Wilsons descendants were living near English, but Allen Wilson had no descendants named Edward. Nora Packham had been living in Carrollton with her three children during the 1920 census after her husband, Fred Packham’s death in Carrollton on 19 Feb 1918. Fred was a Carroll Co native, living in Prestonville with his parents in the 1800s. His parents were from England.

Nora died 7 Jan 1950 and was buried in the Carrollton IOOF Cemetery. The Find-A-Grave page contains the death certificate and Mrs. Edward Westrick was the informant (although she did not know or list Nora’s parents). The informant turned out to be Nora’s daughter by her first marriage, Mabel Packham Westrick.

1920ccc, 1930ccc, 1940ccc-Nora, ==== Edward Wilson Jr. (1922-?) Edward (5 Sep 1922) registered for the draft in Carroll Co on 30 Jun 1942 and listed his mother, Mrs. Nora Wilson, as his contact.[42] He indicated “none” as his middle name. Other than the census records where he was living with his parents, no further information is available for Edward Jr.

They had two daughters, Mary Ann Wilson McKay and Sue Moody Wilson McDonald.

{1940- } † Herman Wilson (1897-1972)

Herman Wilson (27 Feb 1897 – 28 Oct 1972) was born in Owen County, son of Jeptha and Alcie Gaines Wilson. He married Clara Steger in Clark Co IN,[43] and they were living in Owen Co in 1930 with Clara’s niece Ruth Stiger 11, 2 sons (Curtley 7, James W 3) and 3 daughters (Myrtle 9, Dorothy 5, Mae 10 months).

The family moved to Carroll Co and were living in the Eagle-Sanders district in 1940 with 4 sons (Kirtley 17, J W 12, Claude 8, Herman Jr 5) and 3 daughters (Mae 11, Beulah 3, Frances 8 months). Myrtle, age 18, was working as a seamstress and living with an older couple in 1940. It is unclear whether Dorothy had died or was living elsewhere in 1940 (she would have been 15).

And then the family split apart. Clara was living in Cincinnati when she died in 1984. It is unclear where she was living after 1940. Most of her children moved away after joining the military or marrying, the exceptions being Kirtley and Claude, who remained in the Carroll Co / Owen Co area.

Herman took up with Ruth Hannah Ogden, who was only two years older than his oldest daughter.

In Ghent Cemetery, there is a grave marked Ruth Ogden Wilson 1919-1958. Herman Wilson Sr, Ruth Ogden Wilson, Danny Ray Wilson, and Bonnie Bell Wilson are all buried in a row in the same section. Ruth H Ogden was the daughter of Frank and Minnie Devore Ogden of Carroll Co. She and her mother were living with her brother’s family in 1940. She married Riley McIntyre. Jr (or Riley Junior McIntyre?), who was among the first American casualties in the European Theater in WWII. He died in North Africa 8 Nov 1942.[44]

She was run over by a farm wagon in 1958.[45] On the death certificate for “Ruth Hannah McIntyre”, the informant said she was widowed, and that her parents were Frank Wilson and Minnie Belle Devore. The informant was Herman Wilson. Since Ruth’s last name on the death certificate was McIntyre, she apparently never married Herman Wilson. Perhaps there was a financial benefit from receiving a widow’s stipend, or perhaps she chose to honor the sacrifice her first husband made for his country.

Are we certain that the man that Ruth Ogden had children by was Herman Wilson Sr? He was about 20 years older than Ruth. The location of their gravestones, and the identification of parents on their children’s marriage and death records, make it clear that it was.

Ruth had four surviving children. She also had a son, Danny Ray Wilson, born in 1949, who died at around age 4 in 1953.[46] The informant signed her name “Ruth Ogden Wilson”. Bonnie Bell Wilson was stillborn in 1956.[47] Both are buried in Ghent near Ruth and Herman.

† Kirtley Wilson [Clara] (1923-?)

Kirtley enrolled in the military in 1943 and was living in Florida in the mid-1990s. Interestingly, his employer listed on his draft card was Will Ogden. Was Will related to Ruth, Herman’s second wife?

† James William Wilson [Clara] (1927-2008)

James married Reva Lee Perry of Estill Co. Both were in the military, and that was likely where they met. Both died and are buried in Trenton FL.

† Claude D Wilson [Clara] (1931-1985)

Claude D was living in Carrollton when he died on 3 Mar 1985.[48] He is buried in New Columbus Cemetery in Owen Co.

† Herman Wilson Jr [Clara] (1935-2007)

Herman moved to Houston TX, where he is buried.

† Philip W Wilson [Ruth] (1946-?)

Phillip W was born in 1946. He divorced his first wife in 1974[49] and married Martha Draper in Oldham Co in 1982.[50] He apparently lived after that in Oldham Co and Jefferson Co. It is unknown whether he had any children.

† Ricky Wilson [Ruth] (1950-?)

Ricky was born in 1950. He married Theresa Beggs in 1977 (his second marriage)[51] and Rita Mefford (his third marriage)[52] both in Carroll Co. It is unknown whether he had any children.

† Roger D Wilson [Ruth] (1954-2004)

Roger D Wilson was born in 1954 to Ruth Ogden[53] (KY birth certificates always list the mother’s maiden name) and married Dana Durene Peacock 18 Aug 1982 in Lexington.[54] It was his second marriage. He then moved to Hancock Co Indiana where Dana was from. He must have divorced her and married someone else there, because in Hancock Co on 26 Sep 1992 he married Dana again, claiming two previous divorces (she claimed only being divorced once).[55] He moved back home and married Jacquelyn Berry, whose previous marriage ended in death, in Henry Co.[56] They were divorced in 2002. Roger died in 2004 at the Bedford Health Care Center.

Roger would have been about 4 years old when his mother died.

According to his obituary, “Survivors include a son, Michael Dale Wilson of Pendleton; daughters, Katie Wilson and Megan Wilson, both of Wilkinson, Ind., and Morgan Wilson of Eminence; brothers, Phillip Wayne “Sonny” Wilson of LaGrange and Ricky Wilson of Carrollton; and a sister, Barbara Jane Atkins of Flat Rock, Ind.”

The existence of children begs the question, which mother? It appears that Katie and Megan were both born to Dana, since they were living in Hancock Co IN at the time of his death. Morgan was definitely a daughter of Jacqueline (birth record found). Michael Dale remains in question, though I suspect he is Jacqueline’s since he was living in Henry Co in 2004.

All four siblings listed in his obituary were born to Ruth Ogden, according to KY birth certificates. Barbara Jane was born in 1952 and was adopted by Billy J and Mary Jane Oldham (who were listed in her obituary). She would have been only 6 years old when her mother died.

{1950- } ¬ Bert Wilson

Bert’s extensive family lived in Wheatley, across Eagle Creek from Carroll Co. It is likely that Bert never lived in Carroll Co per se; his children, though, may have moved to Worthville and other Carroll Co locations. Bert and wife Martha Ellen Webster Wilson lived their earlier years in Grant Co,[57] moved to Gallatin Co before 1920,[58] then finally to Wheatley in Owen Co before 1930.[59] It is not clear when their children moved to Carroll Co, but they and their children are buried in Worthville, beginning with Bert (1954) and Martha Ellen (1972).

Daughter-in-law Martha Webster Wilson (1972) and daughter Margaret Ann (1977) were also buried in Worthville.

1840 Marriage Index

There is only one Wilson marriage record for Carroll County before 1850:

x Wilson John | Butler Susan | 1849 | M | 1 | 212
John Wilson married Susan Butler in 1849, had one daughter, and was gone by the time of the 1850 census. She and her daughter, Caroline, were living with her parents in Carroll Co (see 1850 census below). A family history recorded that John went to New Orleans to buy leather for his saddle-making industry and was never heard from again.
Was this John Wilson one of the inheritors of the John and Margaret Wilson estate? We may never know. There are many John Wilsons in the area in the mid-1800s.

 ? 1850 Henry and Owen Co Census

In 1850, the number of Wilson households in Henry County jumped from two to ten. The number of Wilson households in Owen County increased from four to 15. Three of the Henry Co additions could have been sons of Travis who lived in independent households. One or two could have been sons of Walter, and Walter Wilson was not present as such (he would have been in his 40s).

 ?! 1860 Census

There were 29 people with the surname Wilson living in Carroll County in 1860. These belong to 7 households. As noted in his profile, our Carroll Co Thomas Wilson lived in Arkansas in 1860.[61] His son William was living in Carroll County in 1860 (and was married that year) but was not recorded in the census.

It is possible that Vinson Willson is related to Thomas as Spencer County is one county west of Tell City, where Tom’s son, Charles, lived from 1870 until sometime before his death after 1910.

 ? (3) David Wilson, age 30, Mary J, 27, and Lucy, 2, living in Mill Creek, Carrollton Station PO, p.4
Who was this David Wilson, born in 1840 and living in Mill Creek?
In the 1850 census, David A Wilson, age 9 (equivalent to 1870 census), was living in Henry Co with Charles Wilson, age 44, and two women. The order of names on the record suggests that Charles was married to Mary A, age 31, and had one child, William H 10. Another woman, Nancy, 39, was listed next, then four children, Sarena E 10, David 9, Charles 4, and Suzanne 3.[65]
In the 1860 census, David Wilson, age 15 (five years off from 1870), was living with the Evans family in Trimble County.[66]
On 12 Dec 1867, David A Wilson, age 23 (equivalent to 1860 census), Trimble Co resident born in Henry Co (but father born in Carroll Co), married Elizabeth Douglass, 22, in Henry Co.[67]
On 20 Nov 1873, D. A. Wilson hosted the wedding of Eliza Wilson to Darius Willett. No relationship between D. A. and Eliza was given in the post-flood transcription, and the location of D. A.’s residence was not given. We might assume Carroll Co, since the marriage license was obtained in Carroll Co and Eliza was a resident of Carroll Co. She was born in Henry Co, but her parents were both born in Carroll Co. [68]
On 24 Feb 1874, William Wilson was born to Dave and Betty Douglas Wilson in English, Carroll Co.[69] Another source lists his birthdate as 27 Feb 1874.[70] William died in Bowling Green KY, but was buried in Campbellsburg in Henry Co.
In the 1880 census, David A, age 34 (equivalent to 1860 census), and Elizabeth Wilson were living in Henry Co in 1880 with three children.[71] The family was not far from Eliza and Darius Willett’s family in Turner’s Station.
Timeline. Location is mostly irrelevant since Mill Creek (Carroll), Turner’s Station (Henry) and a part of Trimble Co are all along Mill Creek.
  1. 1850: David A, age 9, lived in Henry Co with parents
  2. 1860: David, age 15, lived in Trimble Co with another family
  3. 1867: David, age 23, married Elizabeth Douglass in Henry Co
  4. 1870: David, age 30, lived in Mill Creek, Carroll Co with wife Mary J 27 and daughter Lucy 2
  5. 1873: D. A. hosted Carroll Co marriage of Eliza Wilson to Darius Willett
  6. 1874: William born to David and Betty Douglas Wilson in Carroll Co
  7. 1880: David A, age 34, lived in Henry Co with wife Elizabeth 36 and children Callia 10, Willie 6, and Harriet 4
If we make allowances for normal census age discrepancies, this all comes together except for the wife and child on this 1870 record.
Note: In 1870, David A Wilson, son of Alexander Wilson (purported brother of our Thomas Wilson), was age 26 and living with his parents in New Albany, Floyd Co IN 1870.[72] Although he was about the same age, we should thus be able to exclude this David as a candidate for the 1870 Carroll Co resident. Our Joshua Wilson’s father was also named David, but was 10 years older.

~ Wilson Joshsia F [Joshua] — Lewis Elenor ----1871—M—3—097
Wilson Eliza ---- Willett Davis J —1873—F—3—242
20 Nov 1873. From post-flood transcription, Eliza Wilson, age 21, born in Henry Co, parents unidentified but born in Carroll Co. Darius (transcribed as “Davis”) J Willett, age 19, born in Henry Co, parents unidentified but father born in Kenton Co and mother born in Henry Co. Married at residence of D A Wilson (David A Wilson, see 1870 census).
Eliza was born Oct 1852. Harry Willett (son?), the informant on Eliza’s death certificate, identified William H Wilson as her father, her mother unknown.
Eliza married Darius Willett and had at least one son who lived into adulthood, Guy Livingston Willett. His mother was identified as Eliza Wilson on his death certificate. William H Wilson was identified as the father on Eliza’s death certificate. I think it is likely that this was another descendant of Francis Wilson, through his son William Wilson.
Who was Eliza’s father, William H Wilson? Thomas’s son William H would have been too young as Eliza was born in 1852 when William was only 15 years old. He didn’t get married until 1860. Allen’s son William was even younger than Thomas’s, born in 1839. David A Wilson’s stepbrother William H was born in 1840, even younger. Francis’s son William was born in 1830, a much more likely age, but he disappeared after the 1850 census.

Interesting note, a John H Wilson married Annie Coates 30 Jun 1885 in Owen Co. Same John? Was Annie a sister? The two children lived with their stepfather, but later moved to Gallatin Co.

-- This is a transcription error, the tombstone says “KATIE [not Matie] E WILSON, BORN JULY 11, 1854 [not 1804], AUG. 30, 1878” as part of a “Meade” monument. Katie was living with the Prentis and Jennie Meade family in Carrollton in 1870, age 17 (see above). Jennie (Virginia E) nee Wilson was from Jefferson Co KY and married Prentis 9 Sep 1858 in Oldham Co. It is likely that Katie was her niece or much younger sister.

10 people, 3 households in Worthville:

(3) x John L Wilson, age 26, born in IN, wife Luella, and son Orion B, 10 mos, living in Worthville District p.41
John L married Luella Goodman in Carroll Co in 1878, and he and his family moved to Louisville before 1900. Besides Orion, born 2 Sep 1879 in Worthville, he had two other sons before moving to the city: Norman, born in Worthville 5 Apr 1881, and Raymond, born 28 Aug 1886 in Gratz. John L and Luella died in Louisville.
(5) ~ Joshua Wilson, age 30, born in IN, wife Ella, and children (John A 8, Florence 3, Harry W 1) living in Worthville District p.42 Joshua Wilson married Elenor Lewis in 1871 in Carroll Co KY. He appears to be a son of David S Wilson from Switzerland Co IN
 ? (2) Mary Wilson, age 35, born in IN, and presumed son Samuel, 9, born in IN, living with Fielding C Taylor family in Worthville District, p.45 I was unable to identify Mary or Samuel in other records. I originally considered that Mary could have been the wife of David Wilson in the 1870 census, and that Samuel was their son, born after 1870. After further research on David Wilson, this seems less likely.

Per FamilySearch record, marriage was 15 May 1895. S don’t have much more about who these folks were. S L Scott, Lemuel Thompson and E Marks were witnesses. The wife’s name might be Iva.
ⁿ Wilson Charles B | Nicoles Bertha | 1896 | M Note: this marriage is not in the index, but is available from FamilySearch
Charles B and Bertha were married 3 Mar 1896 in Ghent.
§ Wilson Cora B | Sutton Howard |1896 | F | 5 | 315
23 June 1896. Images for these marriage documents are also available from Family Search, but do not give parents’ names. However, the following appears in the marriage certificate: “…were legally solemnized by me between Howard Sutton and Cora B. Wilson at Worthville, Ky. in the county of Carroll, in the presence of H. T. Calvert, (Nannie Wilson) [sic] and Mrs. H. T. Calvert and Mrs. J. W. T. Givens. Signed J. W. T. Givens, minister of Baptist Church.”
This Cora Wilson is most likely the daughter of R J and Belle Wilson, who was age 8 in 1880. She had a sister named Nannie Yellman Wilson (Nannie on the marriage certificate?). Mrs. H. T. Calvert was Cora’s sister Stella. A family history lists this Cora’s middle name as Scott, which was her mother’s middle name.

-- James W Wilson and Sarah were from Boone Co and their first three children were born there. The youngest son, Joseph, was born in Carrollton, so evidently the family moved into the area sometime between 1888 and 1894. James Sr died in 1912 in Boone Co, and may have been living there in 1910 with a second wife and two children born after 1900.
William Shiloh Wilson went on to join the Navy and served in WWI. He retired in 1935 and died in 1947. Joseph Lucien Wilson ended up in Covington KY and died in 1954. It appears that James T Wilson died in New Hampshire in 1919 (death record says born in Boone Co KY). It is not clear what happened to his daughter, or even if Eunice was her name (the first character in the handwritten record is definitely not an “E”).

George had two sisters, Leonore Wilson Marshall and Viola Wilson Bickers, both of whom married in Carroll Co (see 1910 marriages). He had a brother, Leonard Barnett (perhaps from another marriage of his mother?). No Carroll Co Wilsons came from the John O Wilson family.

All the records except for the marriage record index and the 1920 census indicated that the individuals were African American. There were no children listed.

-- Find-A-Grave “Headstone information” (though no headstone displayed): Birth: 1890, Campbellsville, Taylor County, Kentucky, USA. Death: 1 May 1919 (aged 28–29), Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA. Find-A-Grave BIO: Mr. Cornelius Wilson was the first black police officer in Chicago, Illinois to be killed in the line of duty. He was only 29 at the time and married, but had no children. One night while walking home from work after his shift, he observed three men suspected of a series of local robberies. He approached them, asking some questions. Without any warning, two of the three men pulled out handguns and started firing. Officer Wilson managed to shoot and kill one of the three as he dropped, mortally wounded. Survived by his wife and parents. The name of the cemetery was Odd Fellows Cemetery, renamed. Returned to his home state of Kentucky”
NOTE: This was reported and no longer appears as part of the Carrollton IOOF Find-A-Grave. But it makes a good story.
Why was Cornelius’s body brought to Carroll Co if he was from Taylor Co? The interment at Carroll Co IOOF was also documented at https://www.odmp.org/officer/14326-patrolman-cornelius-wilson, though that source doesn’t discuss his place of birth. I was able to find another source that documented his Campbellsville origin and Campbellsville KY Odd Fellows Cemetery interment (https://qconline.com/news/illinois/slain-chicago-police-officer-remembered-at-ceremony/article_4ff27857-a140-581e-bb51-8404cafd173c.html):
30 Apr 2003, CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Mournful sounds of bagpipes cascaded across a tiny cemetery Tuesday as big-city and small-town police officers dedicated a new grave marker to honor the first black Chicago police officer killed in the line of duty, nearly 84 years ago.
Cornelius Wilson, a Campbellsville native who migrated to Chicago and joined the Chicago police force in February 1915, was remembered with prayers, hymns and tributes as a contingent of Chicago police officers made the bus trip to the south-central Kentucky town.
Chicago police bagpipers and drummers stood at attention as Wilson was remembered as a fallen comrade who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Another honor guard was formed by members of the Campbellsville police department, Taylor County sheriff's office and Kentucky State Police. “We reach back, we march back to see that our forgotten heroes are remembered,” said Officer John Ryan, president of the Pipes and Drums of the Chicago Police Department. “Their spirits cried out to us from their cold, still silence, ‘Please, remember who we are, remember what we did, remember that we did our best for you.’”
Wilson was headed home after a late-night shift when he was gunned down on a Chicago street during a shootout with robbery suspects on May 1, 1919. One suspect was fatally injured.
Wilson was about 29 when he died and had a wife but no children. Wilson's family was represented by a niece and a nephew during the ceremony attended by about 150 people. Chicago city flags were presented to Wilson's descendants and to the city of Campbellsville.
The pipes and drums corps marched down a narrow street into the cemetery to begin the ceremony and later played “Amazing Grace.” Walter Johnson, husband of Wilson's niece, Barbara Johnson, spoke for the family. He said Wilson's spirit still lives in police officers serving across the nation to keep the peace. “Uncle Cornelius, we thank you for your sacrifice and for your dedication,” Johnson said. “Memories have grown somewhat faded, but we are thankful to the Chicago police department that they did not forget their fallen brother,” she said. “So we salute them today.”
Wilson was the second slain Chicago police officer honored with a new granite headstone. The first marker memorialized Patrolman Casper Lauer, who was stabbed to death in 1854 while escorting an offender to the police station. Lauer, who is buried in Chicago, was the first Chicago officer killed in the line of duty. The death toll now stands at 420.
The Chicago police pipes and drums corps has raised money to replace or repair 63 missing or damaged grave markers for Chicago police officers killed in the line of duty. Most of the slain officers who will receive new headstones are buried in the Chicago area. But three other officers are buried outside Illinois -- in Niles, Mich.; Jeffersonville, Ind.; and Kansas City, Kan.
Campbellsville police were unaware of Wilson until being contacted by Chicago police investigator Mike Dooley, who helped research the histories of all the Chicago officers killed while on duty. “It was forgotten history,” Campbellsville police Sgt. Terry Lile said.
There is another Find-A-Grave page for Mr. Wilson that does have a headstone image (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/215215486/cornelius-wilson):
Find-A-Grave headstone information, including badge emblem with number 2019: “Cornelius Wilson. Chicago Police Department. Killed in the line of duty. May 1 1919. Born June 10 1890.” Find-A-Grave bio (also mentions Carroll Co): “Patrolman Cornelius Wilson was walking home after his tour of duty when he observed three men suspected of committing a series of armed robberies. Officer Wilson approached them and asked a few questions. Without warning, two of the men produced handguns and began firing. Although Officer Wilson was able to return fire, killing one of his assailants, his wounds were fatal. Of the two remaining suspects, one was convicted of felony murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in Joliet Prison and the second was sentenced to life imprisonment, the prison is unknown. Patrolman Wilson had served four years with the agency and was the first black Chicago Police Officer killed in the line of duty. Patrolman Wilson was survived by his wife and parents. He is buried at the Carrollton IOOF Cemetery in Carrollton, Kentucky.”
Interestingly, this Find-A-Grave entry was submitted by Dennis Davis on 4 Sep 2020, but the headstone photo looks old and mottled (not one that would have been erected only 17 years previous.)
I believe the reference to Carrollton IOOF is incorrect, perhaps based on initial research to find an “Odd Fellows Cemetery” in Kentucky.

Two persons named Clarence Wilson married in Carroll Co in the 1920s (see below). It appears that this Clarence was an itinerant farmer who only lived in Carroll Co a few years. He had been living in Owen Co when filling out his draft registration 5 Jun 1917, and Cincinnati during the 1910 census. Stella remarried Robert Gray sometime between 1920 and 1930, and she and the children were living with Robert O Gray in Oldham Co in 1930. Her Find-A-Grave article at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/110814476/stella-gray tells her story. Clarence’s son Marvin died in action in WWII, and the other son, Woodrow, lived in Switzerland Co most of his adult life.

20 Enumeration District 21-6, Worthville precinct

(5) ☼ Edgar Wilson, age 28, wife Gertrude, 22, and children (Norma Jean 7, Hallie Lorrian 5, Edgar Ray 2) living on Crescent Court in Worthville district 21-6, p.1A Family was living in Norwood OH in 1935. Oldest child was born in KY
(2) ☼ William H Wilson, age 36, and wife Sybil, 34 living on Crescent Court in Worthville district 21-6, p.1A
(1) ^ Elizabeth Wilson, age 26, aunt, widowed, living with Clifford 23 and Elizabeth 21 McCreary on Eagle Road in Worthville district 21-6, p.1B
All three reported living in rural Carroll Co in 1935. They were living next to Clifford’s parents, Leslie and Cora McCreary.
It was originally not clear to whom Elizabeth was an aunt, and whether Wilson was her maiden or married name (although we would assume the latter, since she was widowed). Her age is so close to those of the couple with whom she is living – which grandparents were young enough to have a daughter the same age as a grandchild?
I checked all four parents of Clifford and Elizabeth McCreary. Turns out, I had her all along. I had been exploring from the other end, Elliott Wilson who died 27 Mar 1940 of diabetes mellitus at age 30, son of Leonard and Maggie (living in the same district, see below). Anna Elizabeth Perkins Wilson was taken in however briefly by her sister’s family (Cora Perkins McCreary) and is living with Cora's son and his wife, who are much more her age. The 1940 census taken on 10 Apr 1940 captures a snapshot of Elizabeth, widowed just 2 weeks after her husband's death.
Elizabeth went on to marry Shellie Banks, though I don’t think the marriage lasted. As far as I can tell, she had no children. She certainly didn’t have any by Elliott (unless she was pregnant when this census was taken). Her grave is next to Elliott’s with a rose underneath her name and the word, “BANKS” in a newer engraving above.
(2) x Oscar Wilson, age 47, and wife Laura, age 37 living on Four Mile in Worthville district 21-6, p.4A Oscar and Laura living “same place” in 1935.
Oscar C Wilson and wife Laura(?) were living in Worthville precinct in Carroll Co during the 1940 census, and reported living in the same place in 1935. On his WWII draft registration he reported that he was born in Grayson Co KY.[73]
Oscar was living in Hammonville, Hart Co KY (one county east of Grayson Co) on 5 Jun 1917 according to his WWI draft registration. The middle name Cleveland was as prominent, if not more so, than his first name. He was employed as a sawyer for his father, J. W. Wilson.[74]
He was living in Louisville when he married Edna Russell 1 Feb 1919 in Clark Co Indiana.[75] It is not clear where he was living in 1920 and 1930 or how he ended up in Carroll Co. He apparently remarried to someone named Laura, who was 10 years younger than Oscar.
Oscar died 19 Jul 1967. According to Social Security records, his last address was Ghent KY,[76] but his death record states his residence as Gallatin Co.[77] This probably indicates he lived in western Gallatin Co, but had a Ghent mailing address, which was common.
There is no indication that he had any children. He was buried in Warsaw.[78]
(2) x Charles Wilson, age 29, born in IN and wife Alice, 17, born in IN, living on Goose Creek in Worthville district 21-6, p.9A
Charles reported living in Wolfe Co KY (near Campton) in 1935. Alice reported living in Carrollton. Alice was 27, not 17, during the census.
Charles and wife Alice Jeannette Stearns were married in Marion Co IN on 31 Dec 1934.[79]

They were living in Indianapolis during the WWII draft registration,[80] spending just a few years in Carrollton.

-- Per tombstone: “Beloved father & friend” and Find-A-Grave bio, details of cause of death (auto accident):
February 4, 1982. Daryl R Wilson, 20, of Worthville was pronounced dead at the scene in a single car accident Monday evening. Cause of the accident, which occurred about 5 miles north of Wheatley on Hwy 227, has not been determined and is under investigation. Reports show the vehicle traveling north, ran off the east side, back onto the road and travelled some distance, left the west side, crossed a small creek and slammed into a large embankment. Wilson, front seat passenger, along with the driver, was pinned in the wreckage and had to be freed by the Carroll County Life Squad members equipped with the "jaws of life".

Alvin Lee Wilson was born in Madison IN and was living there as late as the WWII draft in 1942. Marjorie Sutherland Wilson was from Worthville, which is likely why they were living in Carrollton when they died and were buried in this cemetery. I don’t see any evidence that Alvin and Marjorie (see below) had any children. His obituary states only that “His wife, Marjorie, survives.” I checked back to see if he was related to any of the Thomas Wilson ancestors who moved to Indiana but did not find a connection.
Per Courier Journal obituary: Carrollton: Alvin Lee Wilson, 66, died Wednesday in Louisville. His wife, Marjorie, survives.

These two entries are clearly based on the same record (same birth and death dates, same spouse), but different cemeteries. I believe the Worthville entry is correct: The portrait shows that William is buried with Sybil and her death certificate states that she would be buried in Worthville Cemetery.[81] In addition, William’s middle name, according to his WWII draft registration, was Henry, not Hershal.[82]
There are other William H and Hershal Wilsons, perhaps one of the Find-A-Grave contributors linked to the wrong record?

Acknowledgements

Thanks to WikiTree genealogist Kathy Lucas (kathy.nelson.lucas@gmail.com) for collaborating on the Joshua F Wilson family.

Huge acknowledgements to Thomas Wilson genealogist Brenda Waters, who was almost always there before me. Her granddaughter April has been her trusty and diligent advocate and protégé.

Thanks as for ever to William Albert Davis, lifelong friend, who got me into this, and whose research skills and experience have been invaluable.

Thanks to all of the people of the Wilson Discussion Board of the 1990s, some of whom may have gone on, I don’t know. At least one remains living – and faithfully researching years later, Valerie Schmidt-Wilson. Her validation of findings concerning Thomas were timely – amazingly synchronous.

Thanks to new friends and close(r) relatives, Sara Townsend, 3rd cousin from Oldham County, and Suzanne Glesing, 3rd cousin from Indianapolis.

To my Aunt Christine Wilson Dolby, who started to fill me in on the gaps before she left us.
