Elizabeth A. Woodside

Elizabeth was the 4th daughter of John J. and Nancy F. (Hamilton) Woodside. She was born about 1823 in Kentucky, where she married Hiram G. Wilson on February 10, 1847 in Crittenden County. Elizabeth and Hiram had one known child:

• David K. - born October 16, 1847 in Kentucky and died December 10, 1885 in Cherokee County, Kansas. Married to Samantha E. B. Carlock, daughter of Joseph A. and Margaret A. (Hurley) Carlock, on January 7, 1870 in Neoshoks County, Kansas.

Hiram died on December 19, 1865 in Perry County, Illinois according to family sources. Hiram, Elizabeth and David are found on the 1860 U.S. Census for Perry County, and Hiram and family are found on the 1865 Illinois State Census in Perry County. Then Elizabeth is found living alone in the 1870 U.S. Census for Neosho County, Kansas, with son David living nearby. So it would appear that the death of Hiram is probably correct.

I could not locate Elizabeth on the 1880 or 1900 census - she is not listed with her son and his family. There is a marriage for an Elizabeth A. Wilson to Charles L. Dameron in 1872 listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index. However, I do not know if this is the same Elizabeth since I have not sent for a copy of the marriage record.

At this time, I can only state that Elizabeth (Woodside) Wilson died sometime after the 1870 census mentioned above. Would love to hear from anyone who has further verified information on Elizabeth.
