The first Wilson's were down on Bridge Street in the Walabout area. After a while they migrated to Bedford-Stuyvesant. Grandpa Wilson had the candy store and grandma Wilson pushed out sixteen children. No wonder she passed on in 1920 when her husband lasted until 1936.
A few of the children died young but seven went on to start their own families,
Mays grandfather (Milburn Stephenson)came from England about 1865. His wife had died giving birth to their second son. May's entire line lived at 876 Herkimer at one time or another.
