We see Sarah (his first wife) in the June 1900 census, afterwards, she's missing.

By the 1910 census, Wilson is married to Rosa.

On the 1910 census, he was mistakenly named Urlson R. Rawlings, approximately 35 years old.

According to the 1920 census, Wilson is listed as Mulatto, 50 years old. He was born in Georgia. His father was born in Georgia.

**That would make his marriage in 1900.

Sandra Welsh (nee Rawlings), "Uncle" Herman, and Kwame Welsh traveled to Sandersville, GA, to meet her aunt Audrey Rawlings, and cousin James Rawlings. We also met Chappell Davis and three of her sons.

We shared tons of pictures. We saw photos of Sandra's grandparents Wilson R. and Rosa "Rosie" Rawlings; her sister Julia Mae Rawlings Trimble; her aunts and uncles, as well as some cousins.

We then visited the family plot at Robin Springs Baptist Church on Deepstep Road, near the family's old farm.
