This is the marriage certificate application form for John Wilson Sr. and Dora Richardson. This document was
found at the Willard Library research center by a wonderful staff member!! She looked at me like I was crazy
when I asked for all the material she had on the Wilson family. Wilson is the third most common name in the United
States..She narrowed it down to what I really needed and found the application for me...Thank you so very
much!!
