THE WESTWARD EXPANSION OF THE 1850'S

Shortly after the restoration of peace in 1815, following the War of 1812 and the Napoleonic Wars, normal trade resumed and travel once more became possible. Posters, distributed in the eastern states and in Europe, spurred thousands to head west. People traveling toward the low-priced farm lands, used river boat as far as possible, and made the rest of the journey by covered wagons. Robert M. WILSON and his family were one of these early Pioneer's, after living in Fountain Co., IN. for some 10 years in 1852 they traveled to the vicinity of Clearmont, Nodaway County, Missouri, where Robert M. WILSON ran a "Flouring Mill" [REF:#6.] Then later on to Page County, Iowa, before Mar 1855, based on twin daughter's MARSALE & MATILDA WILSON being born in Amity Township, Page Co., Iowa in March 9, 1855. This 1855 date is also consistant with his brother John,1 WILSON, See Bio Note!

Mrs. Sarah (PUGH) WILSON was 40 years of age, and was helping run the farm.

WILSON was a11y attending school.

One of the twin Daughters MATILDA WILSON, b. 09 March 1855 had died 15 Apr. 1855, after only 1 month, and 6 days. The other twin daughter MARSALE WILSON was 5 years old and getting into mischief.
