Birth certificate #4714 file in Clay County, Illinois.

Note from Carl W. Gray, 23 March 2010:

The 1880 Census for Busseron, Knox County, Indiana shows him living with George and Barbara (Herrington) Wilson as a farm hand, but does NOT indicate any relation to them.

Was my previous information incorrect?

Was Barbara Herrington not his mother?

Hopefully, as I look at the earlier census reports, some of these questions will be answered.

In the 1870 Census for Busseron, Knox County, Indiana, John A. Luke is 9 years old living with George W. and Barbara (Herrington) Wilson. I'm convinced that my previous information was correct. Barbara is the mother of John Albert Luke.
