I recently joined in the discussion of the Wilson surname but have had not replies to my quieries. I know next to nothing on this families surname. I don't know where the Wison surname originates or how many of this surname were located anywhere near my families location in or around 1850. What I do have is a possible marriage of a George Wilson to Phebe Halleck in Ray County, Missiouri on 5 September 1850. Phebe is listed in the 1850 census as the eldest daughter in her family. Later that year the remaining members of this family completed their journey as promised to Nahum and Sarepta (Norton) Halleck by his daughter Lucretia King Halleck where they settled on Donation Land Claims in King's Valley, Benton Oregon. I am putting all that I know of the early history in the faint chance that it might strike a match to someone else's history of the new Mrs. George Wilson's parents and siblings travel to the Oregon Territory leaving this daughter in the Central Mid-West to start her own family. After the marriage in 1850 we do not know where or when George and Phebe (Halleck) Wilson might have settled if they moved on.

Do you have any clues about the names of George's parents or siblings? The 1850 census lists his place of birth. Where was he born? Scan through the pages before and after the listing for George. Are there other Wilson families that live in the same area? If so, there is likely a relationship. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Lewis Frommherz <daniel_lewis_frommherz@mckenzievalleymarket.com> To: wilson <wilson@rootsweb.com> Sent: Mon, Sep 12, 2011 2:08 pm Subject: [WILSON] Wilson as a surname in the Central Mid-West I recently joined in the discussion of the Wilson surname but have had not eplies to my quieries.

Thank you for the suggestion on the original census. All that I had was a handwritten copy of the contents to the 1850 Census. I never thought about this possible clue. I guess that it takes other eyes on the prize when finding and locating clues. I will contact my go to cousin for a look see at the original census and repost at a later date.
