   MYERS F. WILSON farmer, P.O. Quakertown, was born in 1849 
in Philadelphia. His grandfather came from Ireland, and was 
the father of seven children, five sons and two daughters.  
James, the third son, was born in Philadelphia, and married 
Miss Isabella Elliot, of Philadelphia, whose parents came 
from Ireland.  Born to this couple were eleven children, 
seven of whom are deceased.  Isabella, the wife, died in 
1856, and Mr. Wilson was married to Elizabeth Hauley, of 
Ireland, and to this wife two children were born.  The 
father died in 1886. Myers F. Wilson was married in 1872 to 
Miss Amanda Miller, of Philadelphia, daughter of Nathan 
Miller.  She bore him two children, Carrie and Mamie, and 
died in 1875.  In 1880 Mr. Wilson married Lizzie, daughter 
of James Mawson, now of this county, and formerly of 
England.  Two children were born of this union:  Charles 
(deceased) and Emma Grace, born in December, 1886.  Mr. 
Wilson received a common-school education, and for five 
years followed his trade, that of a carpenter.  He came to 
his father's farm in 1875, and at the death of the latter 
inherited the homestead where he now resides.
