A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Robert Wilson
The Reid manuscript, written by Mollie Turner Reid in 1931 (obtained from the Foster/Reid Family Tree web site), mentions a son of John Wilson who died unmarried (no name). I think it probably refers to Robert, because Mollie didn't seem to know about John's children who died earlier or about John's first two marriages and the children from his first marriage.
Robert is mentioned in his father's will, so he presumably was still alive at that time (Feb 1877). In end note 172 of "Bear Flag Lieutenant: The Life Story of Henry L. Ford (1822-1860), with Some Related and Contemporary Art of Alexander Edouart (Continued)" by Fred B. Rogers (California Historical Society Quarterly, Vol. 30, No. 1, pp. 49-66, March 1951), mention is made of a letter from Mrs. M. E. Wakeman [Robert's sister] to H. L. Ford dated 6 Nov 1893, which said that Robert died in Denver.
