Elizabeth Nichols, his first cousin, was the daughter of Coleman and Rebecca Nichols. She died 14 Feb 1859 in Marshall County (Ancestry Kentucky Death Records).

It looks like Wilson married again to Elizabeth Foster 10 August 1863 in Marshall, Kentucky. It's possible Mary J. (b. c1852) and Frances C. (b. c1855) listed on the 1870 were children of hers by a previous marriage. Birth records for John W. and Cyrus name Elizabeth Nichols as mother.

Brother William living with the family in 1850. They were living next door to their uncle and aunt Coleman and Rebecca Nichols in Marshall County, Kentucky.
