Nadine, You are fantastic to be checking the info for all of us WILSONS. I am just now getting back on line and anxious to see if you still check census records for Indiana & Illinois. Abram WILSON (could be Abraham WILSON, A WILSON or could have been misunderstood as Adam WILSON) born probably 1842.......(1840 - 1844)...in Indiana or Illinois. Father & mother born Indiana. Mother's name was Martha Abram WILSON was in Illinois in 1860 & enlisted in the Civil War in 1861 at Summerfield, (St. Clair Co) Illinois in Capt Tipton's Co. E, 2nd Reg. Illinois Cavalry....Abram furnished his own horse. After being discharged from the Civil War he went to Texas Co., MO and married Cornelia Mary COLVIN. They named their children: Manerva Jane Oliver Mahlon (Mahlon was wife's uncle's name) Silvester Young (Young was his wife's father's name) Martha Abram (Martha after his mother ) I don't know whether or not Manerva Jane, Oliver or Sylvester could have been family names for Abram??? (Father, siblings, etc??) Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any one wants more more info I will supply. Thanks. Ethelmae (WILSON) PAGE
