HI Ada: looked at the two censuses you mentioned and see the confusion. in the 1920 Logan Co. WV census, Henry Frank Wilson's age is given as 40 [making him bn. circa 1880]...then in the 1930 Logan, WV census, where he is a widower, he lists his age as 39...which w/b bn. circa 1892 ! And on his death record someone in the family gave his birth year as 1893. the www.wvculture.org site is messed up today for maintenance , so i can't see the original marriage or death cert for him...but they both are listed as being there -- when it's corrected , you may want to look? meanwhile, what i did come across was a HENRY WILSON, age 18, bc 1892 in the 1910 Triadelphia area, LOGAN Co. WV Census... the same area that Letha Ellis is living in at the time.....which would have been understandable as they married the next year... this Henry [mis-listed as Hanry...but it's Henry] Wilson is listed as a railroad worker, boarding with a family headed by John & Mary Jackson....but they are listed as 'black' ....as is this Henry Wilson. Could it be possible that Henry Frank Wilson was a black man? and the reason you've not been able to find out about is history is that he was making it impossible to do so? just a theory. think about it, and you may want to look at that census?.
