  1. 1.  Brown Erasmus Darwin was born on 07 Jul 1808 in Milton, Albany County, (Saratoga) NY; died on 26 Oct 1887 in St. Anne, Kankakee Co., IL; was buried in Old Brown-Hanen Cemetery four miles east of Witchert in Pembroke Township on the old Brown farm.IL.

    Notes:

    Erasmus Darwin left Stillwater, NY early as a youngster with his family. They lived in several different places, including, Ballson Spa, Albany, Auburn and Caniesteo, Steuben Co. and Dresden, Yates County, NY.

    He went to live briefly in Ohio, where Letty was living with the Schock family, in-laws of her brother, George. He and Letty were married about 1834 in New York. Their first two daughters were born in New York state.

    He and Letty moved their small family to Shawnee, Fountain county, Indiana around 1838 where his third child, Mary, was born. His son, Allen, born in 1844 was his last child born in Indiana.

    'Dar' and his familiy finally moved to the state of Illinois and settled in the wilderness area known as St. Anne sometime between 1844 and 1846 where his son, Samuel was born. Dar's brother, Achilles and his wife, Lucy, also came to IL.

    An article written in the old book of the county history, 'Kankakee County History' is the following:

    "Few of the early settlers or families of Kankakee County are better represented in its second generation both among its relief and active citizens, then that established here by Erasmus Brown and Letty Loughry Brown, the former born in New York in 1808. This worthy couple to whom in early life came the desire to travel West and ally their fortunes with its undeveloped strength, left their native New York state and settled in the Wilderness of what then was St. Anne but now is Pembroke township, Kankakee County. Loneliness and deprivation were their portion for they had little of this world's goods and there were few neighbors to whom they could turn for counsel or sympathy. Nevertheless, they had grit and determination and their farm yielded of its fertility in response to their untiring labor.

    With the passing of years their family increased until seven children played around their hearthstone. Of these, Jane was the oldest." We know that eventually there were ten children born to this couple.

    Sometime around 1856, Dar and Achilles were joined by their youngest brother, Samuel Right Brown, Jr. and his wife, Sally Ann Coss but wanting to move closer to his inlaws, Sally's sisters and other cousins, Samuel moved north to Algonquin after several years in the Iroquois-Kankakee county area and later to neighboring Cary, McHenry County, IL where he made his final home. His descendants live in that area today.

    Erasmus married Loghry Lettice Lorena about 1834 in Oscaloosa, Mahaska County, OH. Lettice (daughter of Loghry Joseph Leander and Santee Mary) was born about 1820 in Cameron, Steuben Co., NY; died on 21 Dec 1893 in St. Anne, Kankakee Co., IL; was buried in Old Brown-Hanen Cemetery four miles east of Witchert in Pembroke Township on the old Brown farm.IL.

  31. 61.  Wilson Harold Descendancy chart to this point (29.Delia3, 10.Rosella2, 1.Erasmus1) was born on 11 May 1902 in Ganeer, Kankakee County, IL; died on 05 May 1903 in Ganeer, Kankakee County, IL; was buried on 07 May 1903 in Momence Protestant Cemetery, Momence, Kankakee County, IL.

    Notes:

    Harold was the first child born of Delia L. O'Connell and John W. Wilson, but it was not known to his brothers and sister until long after the death of his parents that his existance came to light through an elderly aunt, Freida Wilson, half sister of John.

    Delia was five months pregnant when she and John married and in those days, unlike today, it was considered highly improper for a young girl to get in that condition before marriage. Why they waited so long is unknown.

    Harold's life was very short. His death was, according to the death record, attributed to Perebes spiral meningitis due to hydrocephalis. It was complicated by acute enterils. He suffered with this illness for 2 months and 21 days. He died at 9:05 P.M. Tuesday, May 5, 1903 with Dr. J. V. Lewis of Momence in attendance.

    Little Harold is buried next to his uncle, Charles O'Connell and his maternal grandparents, Rosella and Thomas O'Connell in Momence Protestant Cemetery, Momence, IL. As yet, he has an unmarked grave, only denoted by a flat iron marker.

    While cleaning out the house where Delia had lived, a white satin burial piece was found that belonged to the casket of little Harold. It must have been removed shortly before his burial.

    The death of this little guy surely pained Delia for the rest of her life, for she told none of her children who were born after Harold. The fact that she had to marry, being four months pregnant and the shame she felt must have driven her to keep this family secret.


  32. 62.  Wilson Ruby Alice Descendancy chart to this point (29.Delia3, 10.Rosella2, 1.Erasmus1) was born on 16 Jul 1904 in Momence, Kankakee County, IL; died on 18 Jun 1995 in Redlands, San Bernadino County, CA; was buried on 26 Jun 1995 in Spokane Memorial Gardens, Spokane, Spokane County, WA.

    Ruby married Mortensen Tage on 16 Jan 1932 in Kankakee, Kankakee County, Illinois. Tage was born on 01 Dec 1908 in Horsens, Vejle County, Denmark; died on 01 Dec 1992 in Spokane, Spokane County, WA; was buried on 26 Jun 1995 in Spokane, Spokane County, WA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  33. 63.  Wilson Wayne Elwood Descendancy chart to this point (29.Delia3, 10.Rosella2, 1.Erasmus1) was born on 05 Mar 1908 in Momence, Kankakee County, IL; died on 17 Feb 1985 in St. Mary's Hospital, Kankakee, Kankakee County, IL; was buried in Union Corners, Grant Park, Kankakee County, IL.

    Notes:

    Wayne was born in Momence, IL, the third child and second son of Delia O'Connell and John Wilson, Jr. He went to one-room country schools and attended Momence High School.

    He served in WWII in the Army Air Corp and was stationed at Chenute Field for a time. He was then sent to the Aleutian Islands.

    Wayne was always working with his hands...he loved making things. In the service when plastic was first on the market, he made his niece, Sonja, a beautiful clear plastic heart that had a red interior, looking much like tiny veins. He also made himself a false tooth when he had a tooth that needed a crown instead of going to have it fixed by a dentist!

    After he was discharged from the service, he returned to Grant Park, married and started an electrical business with his younger brother, Gaylord. They were known for miles around as the Wilson Bros. Electrical Contractors.

    His love for making things extended to the making of wonderful, custom guns. These were muzzle-loaders made to exact replicas of days past. Every part of the gun, down to the screws were made by hand. His most prized possession was a muzzle-loader he had made and later willed it to his favorite niece, Sonja Mortensen, daughter of his sister, Ruby. Sonja has since given it to her only son, Raymond Black, to keep it in the family.

    Wayne was the quiet one, unlike his siblings. He was serious, thoughtful and also very caring.

    He had for sometime, been very ill. The doctor in Grant Park was treating him for a liver ailment. The area under his right lung was swollen. When his nephew, Dr. John Mortensen came to visit him and checked him over, he discovered the real problem was a severe heart condition and he was in heart failure. Wayne was taken immediately to the VA hospital where a pacemaker was implanted just under the skin. His nephew had saved his life for many more years. He regained his energy and strength after years of suffering from this unknown heart condition.

    The misdiagnosis would not be the last in this family. The same doctor in Grant Park also misdiagnosed his brother, Jack, a few years later that resulted in his untimely death.

    His Social Security number is 354-28-7240 issued in IL.

    Wayne married Grimes Elnora on 09 Dec 1945 in Grant Park, Kankakee County, IL. Elnora was born on 28 Jun 1919; died on 27 May 1989 in Her Home in Grant Park, Kankakee County, IL; was buried on 30 May 1989 in Union Corners Cemetery, Grant Park, Kankakee County, IL. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Gaylord is buried in Momence Cemetery in Momence, Illinois in the Wilson plot. In the plot is Delia and John Wilson, his parents; John (Jack), his younger brother; and his wife will be buried next to him when she dies.

    He was an electrician in partnership with his brother, Wayne after both returned from their duty in the Army Air Corp during World War II. Their business was known as the Wilson Brothers Electrical

    He and Dorothy were members of the Grant Park Methodist church. He attended it periodically most of his life.

    Gaylord, always the smoker,died of conjestive heart failure and arterialscerosis. He also had cancer of the lungs.

    During his life, he was always interested in local history, Indian lore and family genealogy. He collected antiques and especially antique tractors. He also had a big-wheel bicycle at one time which he would ride around town.

    Another interest was in antique guns. He and brother, Wayne would often go to the World Champion Muzzleloader Gun Meet in Friendship, Indiana. His brother, Wayne won the title of World Champion several times. Both wore coonskin caps while attending this meet and dressed as Daniel Boone would have.

    Gaylord and Dorothy never had children. This was due to complications of mumps as a teenager and rendered him sterile.

    Of the four boys, Gaylord was the most talkative. He was very outgoing and loved a good story. He was also an excellant storyteller himself.

    Before the war, he and his brothers had a service station at the edge of town (Grant Park), on the curve of the Dixie highway, heading towards Chicago. It also was a restaurant where one could get hamburgers, hotdogs and sandwiches and cold beer. This was sold before both went into the service to one of their friends. It continued for several years after their return.

    Gay entered the ST. Mary's Hospital in Kankakee,suffering from lung cancer and conjestive heart failure. He never left there alive.

    Dorothy, his widow, grieved for more than 10 years, wanting to die and join him. Twenty years later, she still survives him alone.

    His Social Security number was 347-16-3825 issued in Illinois.

    Gaylord married Piersma Dorothy Pearl on 03 Nov 1945 in WItchert, Kankakee County, IL. Dorothy was born on 17 Jul 1918 in Chicago, Cook County, (Beverly Hills) IL; died on 05 Feb 2007 in Kankakee, Kankakee County, IL; was buried on 09 Feb 2007 in Momence Protestant Cemetery, Momence, Kankakee County, IL.

  35. 65.  Wilson John Woodrow Descendancy chart to this point (29.Delia3, 10.Rosella2, 1.Erasmus1) was born on 12 Jun 1915 in Momence, Kankakee County, IL; died on 05 Feb 1991 in Kankakee, Kankakee County, IL; was buried on 07 Feb 1991 in Momence Protestant Cemetery, Momence, Kankakee County, IL.

    Notes:

    John, nicknamed Jack, never married but lived with his widowed mother all her life. After her death, he continued to live in the family home which was a large two-story home in Grant Park, owned by him and his two brothers, Gaylord and Wayne.

    Gaylord and Dorothy lived downstairs and Jack and his mother lived in the apartment upstairs. It was fixed into an apartment after Gaylord and Dorothy married so they could have the downstairs part of the house.

    Jack entered St. Mary's hospital with a condition thought to be heart failure. It turned out to be a Peptic ulcer that had ulcerated and perferated the wall of his stomach. The doctor who treated him was a foreign doctor from Pakistan and misdiagnosed his condition. This was the second time this doctor had done this to one of the Wilson brothers. The first misdiagnosis was Wayne's condition. He told him he was suffering a liver condition when it was indeed heart failure. This mistake was caught by his nephew, Dr. John Mortensen on a visit from the state of Washington. Wayne was immediately taken to the Veteran's Hospital where he underwent heart surgery and a pacemaker implanted in his chest. Unfortunately, being a small town where most doctors do not want to practice, it is a haven for foreigners who would have a tough time getting into practices in larger cities. Most of the townspeople are left to the mercy of these doctors.

    Because of the tragic misdiagnosis, Jack succombed to the infection caused by the perferation to the stomach wall. He was under the impression when he entered the hospital, he would be returning home shortly and begged his niece, Sonja Abate, to take him home. It was just a matter of days, when he passed away.

    Jack is buried in the Wilson plot at the Momence Cemetery, Momence, Illinois. Before the (WWII) war, Jack was always the family clown but after returning from the war, he had changed. No longer the family clown, he became a very serious young man.

    He worked all his life in a factory in the middle of downtown, Grant Park. He was a PFC US Army, WW II.
