You can search the 1880 census online at www.familysearch.org. I just tried it thought, limiting the search to born 1875 +/- 10 years, in Tennessee, in the census in Obion Co., TN. The closest match was a black woman, b. 1869, daughter of Toney Wilson. If you know they were somewhere else by 1880 you can check again. Maybe your birthdate is wrong. Have you found her in the census for 1900? That would help verify her birth date. Do you have her death certificate (may not be one for MO before 1910), her obituary, the family information sheet from the funeral home, information from her tombstone? Do you know the names of her siblings? You can get her obituary (if there is one) from the Missouri Historical Society, provided you know her date of death (a year is not sufficient). Do you know if her whole family moved to Stoddard Co., MO? That's about all I can think of. It's tough to find a Wilson family who moves around.
