I have a lot of
Wilson census tracking sheets from
Haywood &
Jackson Counties, NC that I copied from census records years ago, as there are Wilsons allied with my
Hoopers. I have what Edward gave you, except James stated he was born Dec 1861 and had been married 15 years. Florence stated she was born Dec 1868, had given birth to 7 children and 5 of them were living. Elvin E. born Apr 1886;
Elsa b. Mar 1889, Eddie b. Sep 1891, Harlon F. born Oct 1896 and Etta M. born Sep 1898. I had not followed up on them in 1910 or 1920. I have him in my data as James R. Wilson, the son of Thomas H. Wilson and Jemima
Hooper, but born 1874, which coincides with his age at the time of their marriage. Unfortunately, I did not copy my sources in the earlier years of the 60's when I got most of my information. I have found that ages in census records being off is more usual than unusual, and can be off by as many as up to 6 years.
James
Wilson (19) married Florence
Pressley (16) on 11 Sep 1893 at Cullowhee,
Jackson Co., NC. The ages in the 1900 census do not match this couple, even though the names are the same, because they had been married 15 years and this marriage took place in 1893.
If you will e-mail me with any additional info you can provide, I will check all my
Wilson sheets for you.
