Diane, I think I may have messed up and maybe confused some census records. I'm showing John William Wilson's wife as Bessie, md. abt. 1900, and his son Henry's siblings as Ressie M. b. abt. 1910, Robert E. b. abt 1912, and William H. b. abt. June 1918. I think I need to go back to these records and see if perhaps there were two Johns that I have may have mixed up. Do you have any dates for the birth of Roy, Cecil, and Mildred? Also, do you have the parent's names for John William Wilson? I will paste below what I have on Vera & John's children. I think I may have an additional child, as I'm showing 7 children. Most of my information came from Vera's obituary and funeral card, which are in my mother-in-law's collection. If you can fill in any of the "Unknowns" I would appreciate the information.

Henry Henderson Wilson is the son of John Wilson,and John's first wife,Mabel Linkous. John & Mabel had 4 children: Henry,Roy,Cecil,and Mildred. Vera Porter &John had 6 children: Juanita Wilson, J.W. Wilson,nancy Wilson,Donald Wilson,Willie Wilson,and Barbara Wilson. Henry Henderson Wilson is the father of my first husband,Roger Wilson. We divorced in the 70's,but I have a son and a daughter,and I am trying to get their ancestry together for them. Of course,right now,they are probably not interested. But I know how that can change as a person gets older. You are dream come true,Sue,and I thank you so much!
