    1. [StL-Metro] roll call Wilson
    2. I am looking for information regarding the surname Wilson. My earliest info on this family starts in Keokuk Iowa around 1860. Fleming C. Wilson married Dorcas Goodwin (Indiana or Ohio) and they had some of their children in Ohio and the rest in Iowa. They are as followes: William, James, Emma, Ella, Fleming, Ralph and a few that I could not read on the census. Fleming C. was in the Union army (info from Ancestry.com). Sometime in 1870 they moved to St. Louis and lived on Carr street. There my grgrandmother, Ella, married my grgrandfather, William Trackler. In the 1880's they moved to Carondolet. Ella and William had the following children: William, Daisey, Susan, Marcus, Ella Olive (my grandmother), and Oliver. Fleming C. Wilson died in 1903 and is buried in Jefferson Barrecks. He died in Phelps Co., but his pension was sent to someone in Kansas City. Dorcas Wilson (Goodwin) died in 1884 and is bured in Bellefontaine Cemetery. In the plot with her are an infant of William Wilson and a girl named Katy Noble. William Trackler died in 1923 and Ella died in 1919. Both are buried in Bellefontaine Cemetry, but not with Dorcas. When Ella Trackler died her obit was also sent to Kansas City and New York. We assume that relatives lived in these two cities. We are related somehow to the Wilson's from the meat packing company. Thanks, Diane H.
