Surnames: McDaniel, Wilson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lg.2ADE/640.1 Message Board Post: Another sister of Hattie McDaniel was Viola McDaniel. Viola was born in September 1871 in Illinois, the daughter of J. H. and Catherine McDaniel. J. H. McDaniel was born circa 1840 in North Carolina according to the 1880 Federal Census of Symmes Township in Edgar County, Illinois. Viola McDaniel married Robert Benjamin Wilson of Douglas Township, Clark County, Illinois. Robert B. Wilson was the son of Hiram J. Wilson and Rachel (Wilson) Wilson. Robert and Viola moved to North Dakota some time between 1905 and 1908, first living in Sharlow Township, Stutsman County, North Dakota (1910 census), and then in Sarnia Township, Nelson County, North Dakota (1920 census and 1930 census). It is presumed that Robert and Viola died in North Dakota. Robert and Viola had six children: Gertrude, Ester Marie, Leo E., Sadie, William B., and John. Viola's siblings were Hattie, Ira, Bruce, and Susan E. Another brother may have been Homer McDaniel, who is listed with the family as a son in the 1880 census.
