    1. [StL-Metro] Roll call Trackler, Wilson
    2. I have been out of town and missed some of the roll call. Here goes. I am looking for info on the Trackler and Wilson family. Susan Trackler was married several times. We are not sure, but believe her first husband to be an Oliver Trackler. Both are listed in the 1850 (Calhoun) and 1855 (Green) state census for Illinois. There are several land records for Susan and Oliver listed in Illinois (Calhoun County). In 1858 there is a marriage record in Calhoun County with a Susan Trackler marrying a James Greathouse. Later she is listed as a widow under the name Trackler in the 1860 St. Louis census. Around 1861 or 1862 she married a William Stephens in Lincoln County, MO. Her marriage record states that they were residents of Calhoun county, IL. Sometime in the late '60's or early in the 1870's she married a Jacob Stern. I have found her in the directory in the late 1870's and 1880 census for St. Louis, MO. She is also listed in the 1890 census as a widow of Jacob's. She died in 1903 in the St. Louis PoorHouse. We do not know if this is the same Susan Trackler marrying all of these men. Nor do we know if she divorced several or was a widow. We find her listed only as a widow to Oliver Trackler and Jacob Sterns. She has been very elusive and family lore is quite interesting, but cannot be verified. Supposedly she ran away from New York when she was with child at the age of 16. In the census for IL there are two sons listed, George 13 and William 2. Later in St. Louis only William is listed with her. Her son named Wililam (my greatgrandfather) married an Ella Wilson in 11/1876. Sorry this is so long, but I have so many mysteries with this lady. I will put my Wilson info on another e-mail. Thanks, Diane H.
