Jim was the son of Jehu Jacob Wilson and Margaret Susan "Susia" Jones.

Jim married Paralee "Parlie" Catlett on 5/9/1913 in Scott County, Arkansas. Court records show they were living in Cardiff and that she was 16 and Jim was 23 years of age. However, her age does not appear correct since Parlie was born in 1895. If her birth year is correct, as census records and her gravestone shows, she would have been 18.

Jim's World War I Draft registration card shows he and Parlie and two children are still living in Cardiff where he is engaged in farming.

The 1930 US Census shows the family as then living in Lamb, Scott County, Arkansas with the following family members living in the home:
head James L. Wilson M 38 Arkansas
wife Parlee Wilson F 34 Arkansas
dau Elouise Wilson F 16 Arkansas
son Delbert Wilson M 14 Arkansas
dau Anna Wilson F 12 Arkansas
dau Verla Wilson F 9 Arkansas
son Lucian Wilson M 2 Arkansas
son James Wilson M 1 Arkansas
servant Philip Crenshaw M 21 Arkansas

The 1940 US Census shows the family as living in rural Sugar Creek Township, Logan County, Arkansas. The following family members are shown as living in the home (spelling is as recorded):
head Jim L. Wilson M 49 Arkansas
wife Pirlee Wilson F 44 Arkansas
son Luching Wilson M 12 Arkansas
son James Wilson M 10 Arkansas
dau Lorebell Wilson F 7 Arkansas
son Danal Lee Wilson M 5 Arkansas
dau Virda Crenshaw F 19 Arkansas
grandson Floyd Dale Crenshaw M 0 Arkansas

It should be noted that the Crenshaw family had a residence a few houses away from the Wilson's. It is assumed this is the same family as the father of the grandson, Floyd Crenshaw.

According to my records, Jim and Parlie had the following children:
Eloise Frances Wilson 1914 - Bef. 2002
(m. Theo Phillip Crenshaw)
Delbert Clemic Wilson 2/7/1916 - 3/4/1988
(m.Evelyn Estelle Kitchens 8/21/1918 - 11/5/2004)
Anna Etta "Ann" Wilson 1918 - Bef. 2002
(m. Harlan Bayrd 7/17/1916 - 8/11/1989)
Virda Lorene Wilson 4/30/1921 - 4/20/2002
(m. John Curtis Crenshaw)
Lucien Wilbert Wilson 1928 -
(m. Mary Hutcheson/Hutchinson)
James Wilson 1929/1930 - Bef 2002
