Hi everyone I'm new to this list. I'm looking for my grandmothers fathers family. My fathers cousin recently wrote him indicating that my grandmother was born in Blackwell. We have a 1910 census showing her brother at age 1 year 3 months in Stilwell. She also believed he was born in Blackwell. My grandmother was born Theo Wilson in 12/1911-1912 Her parents were Darious Iven "Charlie" Wilson and Essie Mullen. Darious was a wife beater and my fathers cousin remembers hearing stories of Essie's family coming to Blackwell to remove Essie and the three children as she was afraid of Darious. Darious then separated and left the family. We don't know when this occurred but I do have a 1920 census of Boone county Arkansas showing "Charlie" Wilson as head of the house hold with wife Essie and the three children. The 1910 census of Stilwell, Ok. indicates that Darious "Charlie" Wilson was on his second marriage. Does anyone know anything about this family. Who Darious's siblings may be. His parents were George and Marthie Wilson. Marthie may have been Cherokee Indian. Who Darious's first wife was? And where did he go after he left the family. For obvious reasons the three children never ever spoke of their father and step-father. Family members still alive who may know the story get extremely upset at the mention of his name and refuse to talk about him. Can anyone shed some light on this guy? Really need your help out there, Roberta
