• Per Jan Finke: Janet Jane Wilson b. 1919, was raised by her great-aunt Matilda E. Wilson, brother of Janet's grandfather Henderson H. Wilson. She appears in the 1920 census at age 7 mos., living with her natural parents.

• In the 1930 census, George Henderson Wilson's aunt, Mary Jane Wilson (Shoaf), lives with a "niece", Geraldine M. Wilson, who was born in about 1921. Geraldine is actually a great-niece, as Mary Jane Wilson (Shoaf)is sister to the child's grandfather, Henderson H. Wilson. The 9 year old Geraldine presumably helps keep house for her 70 year old great-aunt.
