I find James Williamson, son of Joseph, on the 1880 census for
Nottingham twp, Wells Co, IN along with his wife, Mary M. (Wilcox) and
their children. They were md in Tazewell Co, IL in 1869, but James'
father had been a land holder in Wells Co since 1831. James and Mary M.
are gone by 1900. Does anyone know what happened to them?
Samuel Fisher is on the 1870 Wells Co census:
pg 23/183/170 Fisher, Samuel 35 farmer IN
Elvira 26 IN
Mary E 3 IN
Hannah M 2 IN
Williamson, Matilda 20 IN
Note: This could be Eliza not Elvira, or Ann Eliza Wilcox who married
Mr. Fisher. Her sister Mary M. married James Williamson and moved to
Wells Co.
Anyone know anything about this family?
Lura Allen Wilcox, who was the mother of Mary M. Wilcox Williamson, Ann
Eliza Wilcox Fisher and Eleanor Wilcox Cash (md James Ross Cash in Jay
Co) died in 1874 in IN. Probably in Wells Co as she does not show up on
any record of Jay Co. Does this ring a bell?
Any help appreciated.
