A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Priscilla David Wilson
Listed in the Hotchkiss manuscript as Priscilla David Wilson. Listed in the Allen Family Tree on trees.ancestry.com as Priscilla Catherine Wilson, which makes more sense. On the other hand, she is listed as Pricilla D. Ewers in the 1920 census. The 1920 and 1930 censuses and the marriage certificate for Carl F. Ewers and Lillie A. Raffety all spell her first name as Pricilla, but her gravestone on Find A Grave (listing for Priscilla Wilson Ewers) spells it Priscilla. Carol Rawles, a descendant, says her name was Priscilla David Wilson.
It looks like she may have been married by 1876. I think that she and Eugene are listed together in the 1876 Missouri state census, right below her family (which included David, Sarah C., Susan A., Jno. D., and Jas. W. Wilson). It's not very readable, but it looks like Edward E. and P. D. Eures (middle initial is uncertain for Priscilla; it doesn't look like the other D's on the page, but I don't know what other letter it would be.)
The Oregonian, 9 Apr 1936, p. 14 (obtained from Find A Grave, listing for Priscilla Wilson Ewers):
EWERS – In this city, April 7, late of 1136 SW Jefferson, Priscilla Ewers, mother of Mrs. Pearl Ray, Mrs. Mida Matkin and Carl Ewers, sister of Dr. James W. Wilson. Funeral services will be held Thursday, April 9, at 1 P.M., from Holman & Lutz, S.W. 3d and Salmon. Interment Riverview cemetery.
[Note that many places call this cemetery Riverview, but Find A Grave lists it as River View.]
