Fred L Wilson

Fred L Wilson born in 1875 in Iowa (some records say California). He was a hardcore criminal, with records all over, from Washington to California, McNeil Island and San Quentin. Earliest record found was for counterfeiting, sentenced for 6 years on 11 July 1898 and was paroled 15 Aug 1905 from NcNeil Prison, but he was transferred to San Quentin in 1902.  He had several alias, which makes it interesting to find records. I never found a death record or a Cemetery record for him.

San Quentin Prison Record









The last date I found for him was an escape date of 20 Feb 1950 and then he was discharged on 6 Oct 1955 I would almost guess that would be his death date but I did not find any proof. I also did not find any family trees on Ancestry or LDS.
