Source Notes
1900 Census: Ancestry.com suggests that there is a middle initial of "G" for Robert Wilson on the 1900 census. If there is, it has something written over it that obscures it. Differences in line darkness suggest that the entire "middle initial" may just be part of a scribble with the overwritten notation.
