An article in "Jackson County, WV, Past and Present 1990" by granddaughter Margaret Johnson Karr, states his middle name was Benjamin and he was called Benson. Also shows another son, George Wilson (2nd) with no dates, he may have been one of the children who died before 1900 census. She does not list James as a child, nor does she list Ida Mae, but has Josephine "Jossie" married to Martin Parkins. Based on the 1900 and 1910 censuses, Jennie gave birth to either 9 or 10 children, and as of 1900, had 7 living. I suspect Josephine and George Wilson both died before 1900. If I add him as a child, the total would be 9, but there are errors in the article, and the child count is not the same on both censuses, so I am leaving him off since there is no other proof.
