Julia B. Wilson (m. Daniel L. Murphy 1936; daughter of Lewis + Belle Wilson)
Also known as: Julia B. Wilson, Julia Belle Wilson, Mrs. Daniel L. Murphy
family confidence: 95 — certain (corroborated)Wilson (paternal in-law via Daniel L. Murphy)
Daughter of Lewis "Lew" Wilson + Clara Belle Nelson Wilson of Pony, Madison County, MT (per the 1936 marriage license). Married Daniel L. Murphy (JJM's brother) on 18 Aug 1936 at Butte, Silver Bow County, MT. Listed as age 35 on the license (b. ~1901 if accurate). Pony native; the Wilson family already in the archive via Lewis Wilson's 1944 electrician obituary thread. Family tree (GEDCOM record merged here 2026-10-03): Julia Belle Wilson, born November 1909 at Pony, died 12 November 1961 at Butte. The 1909 birth conflicts with the licence age of 35 (c. 1901); the birth field keeps the licence reading until a birth or census record settles it.

- 1910, Pony, Montana 751936-08-18 — Montana Marriage Licenses, Silver Bow County; 2026-05-27 — Luke Murphy family tree (Ancestry.com)Licence: 'Julia B Wilson ... aged 25 years, born at Pony, in the County of Madison' (transcription of 4 Oct 2026: 88 for the 2, whose form differs from the groom's 3 a few lines above), so born 1910-11. Tree: November 1909, Pony, citing the 1910-1940 censuses and the Montana death index. Her parents married in July 1904 (tree; '1904' in her father's funeral report), which also argues against 1901.
