| Notes |
- JOSEPH E. WILSON .County Clerk, Fairfield, is a son of Alfred and
Elizabeth Wilson, well known residents of Wayne County. - Alfred Wilson.
was born in Kentucky, on the 22d of February, 1806, going from his native
State, to Missouri, when a young man . There, in 1836, he was married to
Miss Elizabeth Laughlin, who was born in Missouri April 6, 1819 In
1839, they came to Wayne County, Ill., and. settled where the widow still
lives, in Hickory Hill Township. Alfred Wilson was a successful farmer, a
man of. strong force of character and in politics, an Old-Line Whig during the
existence of that party, after which his influence was given to Democracy. He
was by trade a carpenter, by. profession a Baptist minister, and died in
Wayne County, Ill., December 12, 1875. He had a family of four children,
viz.: John J., born in 1837; Eliza A., widow of Thomas H. Clark and
born in 1841, who has seven children; Angeline, wife of Samuel B.
Griffith, of Wayne County; and Joseph E. Wilson, who was born January
3, 1849. He was reared on the farm, receiving the advantages of a common
school education, and by application qualified himself for the profession of
teaching, which, in connection with farming, he followed from 1871 until
1882. In the fall of 1882, he was elected to the office of County Clerk of
Wayne County, on the Democratic ticket. He is a member of the Hickory Hill
Lodge, No. 759, A., F. & A. M; Fairfield Chapter, No. 179, R. A. V. He was
married in Louisville, Clay County, Ill., October 11, 1876, to Miss Julia V.
Galbraith, daughter. of Col. A. T. Galbraith, now of Flora, Ill. She was
born in Wayne County October 23, 1857. Their two children - Edgar A.
and Robert A. Wilson, were each born in Wayne County, the first, March
21, 1879, and the latter January 31, 1881.:
In the 1850 Wayne Co., IL census, on the same page, I found H. C. Laughlin, born abt 1821, Missouri, and Alfred and Elizabeth Wilson.
This is supposedly Henry Carrel Laughlin, born April 7, 1820 in Booneville, MO; died March 23, 1883, Xenia, Clay Co., IL. He was married to Sarah A. Horton.
It appears that some of the children of Rosanna and Charles Laughlin moved to Wayne Co IL. This Henry was very likely the son of Charles Laughlin.
