  JOSEPH J. WILSON, farmer and stock raiser, P. O. Robinson, was born June 11,
1825, in Morgan County, Ohio, and is a son of David Wilson, a native of
Pennsylvania, who removed to Illinois and settled in Crawford County in 1850. He
died here about 1863. He has three sons and one daughter living-the sons all
live in this county, and are David, Solomon and Joseph J., the subject. The
elder Wilson came from Ohio by wagon, over the old National road, passing
through Zanesville and Dayton, Ohio, and on through Terre Haute. Joseph J., the
subject, was brought up on the farm, receiving a good common school education.
He came with his father to Illinois, and some time later bought 160 acres of
land one mile north of Robinson, and 20 acres of timber. Here he has since
followed the business of farming, raising wheat and corn mostly, producing
annually about 800 bushels. He was married in the fall of 1859 to Miss Nancy
Conrad, of this county. They have four children living, viz.: Isabel, Mary E.,
Joshua S. and Emma.
