  1. 1.  John M. Wilson was born Jun 1827, Mechlenberg, Germany; died Aft 1 Jun 1900.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1870 the family is at Jefferson, Butler Co., IA, as follows: John Wilson 40, Dorus Wilson 33, both born Mechlenberg; Henry 8 IL, John 7 IL, Harvey 6 IL, and Christopher 4 IL. John is a farmer.

    In the Federal Census of 1880 the family is still at Jefferson, Butler Co., IA. They are listed right next to Christopher Renning and his first wife, Minnie (both age 24), and their daughter Clara, 6 months. The Wilson family is as follows: John Wilson 53 farmer born in Mechlenburg (Germany), Dora his wife 43 also born in same place and all their parents born there; neither can write English; son Henry 18 works in cheese factory born in IL; John 16 IL; Harvey 15 IL; Ch??? (unclear) 13 IL; Charles 10 IA; William 5 IA.

    In the Federal Census of 1900, John M. & Dora Wilson are ages 72 & 61, living at Pittsford, Butler Co., IA. John was born June 1827 Germany, and Dora was born July 1838 Germany. William and Chris W. Wilson and their families are listed on the same page, so they are probably sons of John & Dora, as listed in 1880. According to the census data, they have been married 40 years and have 6 children, all of them still living. John immigrated in 1857 and Dora immigrated in 1860. John is a landlord. So, it looks as if they must have met and married here, or at least they married here around the time Dora arrived. John is a naturalized citizen

    John married Dora Unknown Abt 1860. Dora was born Jul 1838, Mechlenberg, Germany; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]
