Hi Maggie, Thanks for responding. My Wilson names are: John William Wilson Katherine/Catherine J. (prob. Jean) Lindsay Wilson Frank W. Wilson Pansy (Pat) Ruth Wilson My mother Pat went to Kelso High school in her teen age years.circa 1924/29. There she met my father, James Lynn Walters who was a track star, circa 1920/24. He worked at the local Safeway store. After Katherine/Catherine died (circa 1915) when my mother was 3, my mother was given to Katherine's Lindsay parents until she was 8, then came back to her father by train wherever that was.. John and Frank had a band during the time my mother lived with him. A family member has said that John with or without Katherine and my mother had a farm or ranch in the vicinity of Bonneville dam probably on the WA side. I am trying to determine why and when John chose to go to WA from ND where my mother was born in 1912.. I am trying to determine if John had relatives that motivated him to come to WA, and if he stopped to visit Wilson relatives on the way from ND to WA.
