 | | John and Hannah Wilson Nevius are found in Keithsburg Township in 1860: #773 John Nevius, 58, Justice of the Peace, born Pa; Hannah, 54, Pa; Wesley, 21, clerk, born Il; Frazier W., 17, plasterer, born Il; Wilber, 15, laborer, born Il; Edmund, 14, Il; Sarah A., 13, born Ohio. |
 | | Benjamin Wilson married Margaret Agness Swartz on 4/1/1847 in Mercer County. |
 | | Benjamin was apparently actually 29 as the next three census records would be consistent with that (maybe he didn't want Margaret, or her parents, to know how old he was - women are not the only ones we have seen fudging in census records!). |
