Note that "Robert" is incorrect for 1860. In addition, "Benion" is incorrect for 1910 -- viewing the actual image it's pretty clear that the name is "Berrien"

1920 Census shows "Ruth W. Wilson" vs. "Ruth B. Wilson", but daughter Elizabeth appears to be in the picture still and their ages seem to match up.

There appears to be a Whitehead connection here based on what I've pieced together from the census data as well as FindAGrave.com.
