    1. [WILSON] WILSON Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel via
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eliza WILSON ORCUTT which was taken at the Spencer Studio in Malone, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Eliza appearing to be in her 40's or 50's at the time. In addition to her name, someone has written "Mac's and Hope's Grandmother ORCUTT" and "also Mayfred and Manfred's Grandmother". I believe that this is the same family you've included in your family tree. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Eliza G. WILSON ORCUTT was b. in Aug 1847 or 1850 in Bangor, NY to parents Elijah WILSON Sr. (1812-1889) and Abigail BOWEN or BOURN (1818-1899). Eliza was one of 10 children born to this couple including, Clarissa Betsey WILSON CONGER (1837-1906); Sarah I. WILSON DUSTIN (1841-1921); Isaac WILSON (b. 1843); Elijah WILSON Jr. (b. 1845); Eliza G. WILSON ORCUTT (1847-1904); Eveline WILSON (b. 1849); Sophrona WILSON (b. 1850); Susan A. WILSON (1852-1924); Ellen R. WILSON FRENCH (1856-1921); and Francis C. WILSON (1860-1908). Eliza married Benjamin L. ORCUTT (1842-1920) and they had four children including, Fred, Harry B. (living in San Jose, CA when she died), Josie, and Susie ORCUTT. All but Harry were living with their parents when Eliza died 30 Jul 1904 in Dickinson Center, NY. Eliza is buried in the Ives Cemetery in Dickinson Center, NY. Her son Harry B. ORCUTT was b. 1877, and his son Malcom ORCUTT was b. 22 May 1906 and was living in Dickinson, NY in 1990 and in Brushton, NY in 1997.
