You will note that Luther Wing, 31, (it looks like it says 311) is a laborer and from Ohio. His wife, Clara is 25 years old. the children are mixed up sex and agewise but there are four children and they all were generally about the ages that are listed here. In the many years I and many others have been researching the Wing family in Pike County, Illinois, there has never, ever been a Luther Wing mentioned at all. And yet, here they are all living at Newburgh, Pike County, Illinois, right where Amy and Adelia had lived and where JSW and Sarah Adelia moved from Wisconsin.

There are not many Luther Wing's in our Wing database. Of the few that are, two of them could be possiblities but neither ones wives names match this Luther nor do the children match. I propose and I am certain that this is our very own, Joseph Smith Wing, who lied to the census taker.
