1902 Skeeters Family Reunion, Indiana



This photo was provided to me by Sally Skeeters. Only one person in this photo has been identified. If you can recognize anyone in this photo, please contact me.

My great-great-grandmother was Mary Skeeters, who married William Harvey Wilson 24 January 1844 in Parke Co., Indiana. She was born about 1828 in Kentucky, the daughter of David Skeeters and Catherine Turner. William Harvey was born 3 December 1820, Greenfield Township, Licking County, Ohio, the son of William Wilson and Rachel Wells. He died 28 October 1862 in Parke County. Mary died 21 June 1890 in the same county.

Their children were

William Graham Wilson, born about 1845
Isabel Wilson born 1848 in Indiana. She married Samuel Haworth in 1866.
Pratt Wilson born 1851
Alice Wilson born 1853. She married James Collins.
Loretta Wilson born 1855. She married James Hiller.
George S. Wilson, born 30 December 1858 in Parke County. He married my great-grandmother Viola V. Hise 31 March 1882. He died 23 January 1901.
Clara Wilson born about 1862 in Indiana

I have never seen any photos of this family. If you are related and have some to share, I wish you would contact me.

  1. My Skeeters relatives were in Parke County in the 1830, 1840, and 1850 Parke County IN census. They are later in Iroquois County, IL in the 1860 census. I have a picture of my greatgrandfather taken 1820-1830, and he looks like some of the older, mustachioed gentlemen in the 1902 Reunion Picture. James (my ancester) and David seem to have been the same generation, perhaps brothers?, and are together in all the above censuses. nimerickma@aol.com
