Amos Q. Wilson was married to Eliza E. Gresling, most likely in Ohio in the early to mid 1850's. Eliza was born in 1834 in Ohio. Amos and Eliza are believed to have come west to Illinois in 1856 or 1857, where they settled in Woodford County, Illinois.
Following is a list of the children known to have been born to Amos and Eliza. There were very likely several more;
1. Grace Ann Wilson, born October 19, 1857 in Illinois; married to Mathias Rock (1850 - 1896) on __________ __, 18__; Grace died on November 22, 1930; buried in the Secor Cemetery in Secor, Woodford County, Illinois.
2. Lucinda E. "Lucy" Wilson, born November 6, 1860 in Woodford County, Illinois; married to __________ Williamson on __________ __, 18__; Lucy died on March 17, 1915; buried in the Secor Cemetery.
3. Allen (or Alvin) Wilson, born c. 1867 in Illinois
4. Nancy Margaret Wilson, born January 12, 1870 in Woodford County, Illinois; married to __________ Armstrong on December 17, 1917: married possibly before that to __________ Patterson; Nancy died on December 19, 1958; buried in the Secor Cemetery.
5. Henry Wilson, born on __________ __, 1871 in Woodford County, Illinois; died on __________ __, 1880 in Woodford County, Illinois; buried in the Secor Cemetery.

7. Frank Wilson, born __________ __, 1877 in Woodford County, Illinois; died on __________ __, 1881 in Woodford County, Illinois; buried in the Secor Cemetery.

Other possible include;
8. Sarah Wilson, born c. 1854 in Ohio
9. Larkin Wilson, born c. 1856 in Ohio; Larkin G. Wilson, who is recorded as having been born on March 18, 1846 is almost certainly a son of Amos Q. Wilson, however the year of birth may be wrong. In the 1870 Woodford County census, Larken Wilson is 14 years of age, which would place his year of birth as 1856. The Prairie District Library in Woodford County has the obituary for Larkin G. Wilson being born on 18 Mar 1846 and dying on 1 Oct 1934, which appeared in an 5 Oct 1934 edition of a local newspaper. His father is recorded as Amos Wilson. This Larkin G. Wilson's mortal remains were laid to rest in the Secor Cemetery.
10. William Wilson, born c. 1858/59 in Illinois; may have died before the 1870 census was taken.

This is the only Amos Wilson found in Woodford County in 1860. He is in Olio Township in Woodford County. It is not known if this is the correct Amos and Eliza or not. Sarah and Larkin, possible children of Amos and Eliza, are not listed here;
Amos K Wilson, age 28, birth: c. 1832 Ky
Eliza Wilson, age 26, birth: c. 1834 Ohio
Grace A Wilson, age 3, birth: c. 1857 Ill
