Caroline Louise (Kincaid) Wilson |
Caroline Louise "Carrie" (Kincaid) Wilson was born on April 4, 1873 near Champion, Trumbull County, OH, the only child of Thomas and Lucy (Miner) Kincaid.
Her mother died when Carrie was but a baby, and she was taken into the home of her maternal grandparents, Joseph and Elizabeth (Forney) Miner, in Champion.
She is shown in the Miner household in the 1880 census, with her uncle Cornelius Miner and aunt Ellen Miner [Eliza Ella Guessman] living there too. Residing next-door was Carrie's distant cousin, Eliza Miner Mathany and her husband James.
After a few years as a widower, Carrie's father remarried to Mary A. (?) and it appears that Carrie never lived in their household for any period of time.
At the age of 18, in about 1891, Carrie wed George T. Wilson (July 1862-1938), the son of Henry Wilson of Champion, Trumbull County.
