    2. Hello Listers and "Cousins", Sorry for the first messed up message! My family is in search of the WILSON family. My Great Grandfather was William Alonzo Wilson, b. Dec.24,1833 in Massachusetts. He married Nancy Adeline POTTER, b. June 16, 1833 in Indiana. William died, July 24, 1908, in the city of Snohomish. Nancy died, Dec. 2,1905, in the city of Snohomish. They are both buried in the G.A.R. Cemetery near Everett, Wa. William was a Civiiiil War veteran, possibly serving in Missouri. William was also, a policeman, a deputy sheriff and a bridge tender in Snohomish. William and Nancy were the parents of 13 children, nine of whom were living at the time of the 1900 census. We have found that William's youngest son, Grant WILSON, was fatally wounded in a shooting incident in Aberdeen between 1904 and 1908. He may have lived in the area. We believe he was married and had children. Grant was born in Iowa on Oct. 4,1872. If anyone can shed light on his life or death, please contact me. The rest of the siblings we have names for are: William B. Wilson born July 22,1855. Amy C. Wilson born Sept. 1, 1856. Roxy Jane Wilson (SCOTT) born Dec. 24, 1858 in Missouri. Mary Helen "Mollie" Wilson (WEST) born Mar. 19, 1860 in Missouri. Stephen Douglas Wilson born Aug. 1, 1861 in Missouri. Sarena F. Wilson born Sept. 28, 1863 in Missouri. Alfred L. Wilson born May 6, 1865 in Missouri. Clinton Albro (Albro Clinton?) born May 6, 1865 in Missouri (twins or a booboo). Christopher Columbus Wilson born Sept, 26.1866 in Missouri. Ida May Wilson (DIBBLE) born Nov. 26,1870 in Iowa. Rosa Belle Wilson (WILLIAMS) born July 15, 1874 in Iowa. We have found references to a 2nd Mary Helen Wilson born June 1, 1854. She may have died as an infant. Serena died in infancy and Stephen died in childhood. Rosa Belle Wilson (WILLIAMS) was my Grandmother. She married Harry WILLIAMS, Jan. 2, 1900, in Everett, Wa. They were the parents of 9 children. Rosa died of tuberculosis, Aug 30, 1918. She and Harry are buried in the G.A.R. Cemetery near Everett. Since I live in Tucson, Arizona it is more difficult to research these connections. Please help if you have any knowledge of these people. Thanks to generous help from people on the Wasnohom website, we have found much of this information. There are truly wonderful folks out there!! I will share information and help where I can. Thanks, Glenna Rice
