(Note: * This is the line that my Joseph comes from, I am not sure yet where Benjamin & Mary met and married, but know that they lived in Chelsea, Maine before moving to Quincy, Ill. I found a Benjamin Wilson in Pope Co., Ill 1820 and Joseph H. is said to be born in Mass. I believe that he may have been born on their trek from Maine to Illinois. The 1820 census lists Benjamin as having a child in the household under the age of 10. I am still searching.
1820: Joseph Henry Wilson Born: February 12, 1820 Died: February 28, 1896
Joseph Henry Wilson's parents were from England and he was born in Massachusetts and later migrated to Illinois.
1828: Charlotte Stewart (w1 of Joseph Henry Wilson) (b. 1828 Ohio), reference 1850 IL census.
