Irvin A. Wilson
Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri
Biographies of Scott County, 1888
Irvin A. Wilson was born in 1844, and is a son of James and Parmelia (Vincen) Wilson. James Wilson was born on the way from Ireland to America and his wife was born in Mississippi. They came to Southeast Missouri about 1834, and located on a farm among the hills of Scott County, where the father died in 1845, aged forty-five. The mother died in 1868, aged fifty-two years. They are the parents of three children living and three dead. The former are: Jasper, Jane (Mrs. William Boutwell) and Irvin A. The latter are: Amanda, Sarah and Matilda. Upon attaining his majority, Irvin A. began work for himself on a farm in Richwoods, near Sikeston. He afterward resided about two years in Sikeston, and in 1882 came to his present location in Morley Township, on the east bank of Little River. His farm consists of 185 acres, 150 of which are under cultivation, with good improvements. He first married Mary Vaughn, by whom he had six children, viz: Jasper (deceased), Aspisa, James (deceased), Laura (deceased), Charles and Edwin.
After the death of this wife, Mr. Wilson married Frances Batts, who bore him four children: Benjamin (deceased), Emma, Ettie and an infant (unnamed). The mother of these children died in 1884, after which Mr. Wilson was united in marriage with Anna (Riggis) Matin (the widow of Albert Matin). She had one child by her first marriage, who is now at home. To her and Mr. Wilson have been born two children: an infant (deceased) and Gertrude. Mr. Wilson is a member of Lodge No. 358, I.O.O.F. of Sikeston.
