James Oscar WILSON [Parents] was born 30 May 1881 in Wathena, Doniphan Co., Kansas. He died before 1961 in Of Oregon. James married Frances CARTER about 1900 in Of Wathena, Doniphan, Kansas.

Eugenia Morris:  "I think Ellen Hays Wilson named her son James Oscar
Wilson after her sister's (NANCY JANE HAYS WYNKOOP) child who died."
I THINK SO TOO. C. MINSON.

To Do:  check1880 & 1885  census of Wathena Marion Twp., Doniphan Co.
Kansas for Ellen and Isaac Wilson family to see when James Oscar
Wilson was born.--His brother, Everett Wilson b. Feb 28, 1879 there.

E. Morris wrote, May 1971: Rev. Everett Wilson of Emporia, KS talked
about (the mg) of ELLEN HAYS and ISAAC WILSON a great deal.  Said he
had searched and couldn't find it (mg record).  First thing he told me. He
was their son.  He said they lived at Wathena.  He was born in 1879 and
his brother in 1881.  I can't find them there.  Could it be that this is
because her brother ZEPH HAYS took the census?
Anyway, ISAAC WILSON was mean to his children and soon left them.   I
think this was the same Isaac Wilson who enlisted in the Kansas Inf. at
Troy and lived across the river in Buchanan Co. Mo.  He had seven children
by his wife from 1856 to 1878.  He evidently went back to her.  I have
his Civil War pension application.
REV. WILSON was very fond of his step-father, JAMES H. CLAUNCH.
REV. WILSON said Ellen Hays Claunch died in Portland Ore, about 1930.
His brother, (James Oscar,) lived there, but he and his brother were
estranged.  JAMES OSCAR had sons HARRY, LYNN and LESTER
