The newspaper information regarding the death of Wilson and his wife, Eliza, didn't list any of their children. But the funeral notice for their son, Charles Herbert Ager, who died in Portland, Oregon, 13 November 1862, listed his siblings as Jessie Broms, Maude Shaver, Walter and Raymond Ager.

Other children found listed in census records were Agusta [also called Gertrude and Gerty], William [believed to also be known as Adam], Clyde, and Mildred. In the 1875 State Census for Little Rock, Nobles County, Minnesota, there were two children, Herbert age 9, and Hubert age 2, both born in Ohio. In the 1880 census for Nobles County Minnesota, only listed one son named Herbert, age 7, born in Illinois. He is listed again in 1895 in Noble County, Minnesota, as Herbert, age 22 born in Illinois. One of the two boys listed in 1875, Herbert and Hubert, may have died before 1880. In the 1900 census for Nobles County, Minnesota, showed Eliza had given birth to 11 children, but only 10 children were still living.
