Hi Dick, I found a Cornelia Culley, (born about 1872) daughter of Patrick and Matilda of Peoria listed in her mother's will probate as Cora WILSON. Edward WILSON was executor of the estate. The Patrick (1820-1908) and Matilda Markley CULLEY (1835-1903) are buried in Princeville, Peoria Co., IL in Old St. Mary of the Woods cemetery. There are other Wilson's buried there also. This isn't exactly what you were inquiring about, but I wonder if there is some connection with your family. -DonnaO > I am looking for any contacts, obituaries or > other information on the > following WILSON's in Peoria County.

Thanks Donna for the feedback. I think I am a little confused, however. Are you trying to say that Cornelia Culley and Cora Wilson are the same person? I do have a Cora Wilson, born 8 Jul 1872 and niece of Edward Wilson. But my Cora Wilson is the daughter of Richard Wilson and Mary Salina Herold (or Hearld). I also have another Cora Wilson who was a cousin of Edward but she was born in 1859. Maybe Edward had a wife that I do not know about that just happened to be born the same year as his niece and had the same first name.
