Robbie Wilson was born in Cameron, Missouri. Cameron is a city in Clinton
and DeKalb County, Missouri in the St. Joseph metropolitan area. But doesn't
look that metropolitan for the Crossroads of the Nation.

Teri and Robbie Wilson also lived in Memphis, Tennessee and Shawnee, Kansas. Stevie and Kasey both
have the Southern drawls from the time they lived in both areas.

Memphis is a city in the southwest corner of
Tennessee, and the county seat of Shelby County.
Memphis rises above the Mississippi River on the
4th Chickasaw Bluff just below the mouth of the
Wolf River. As of 2006, Memphis had an estimated
population of 670,902, making it the largest city in
its state, the second largest in the southeastern
region (only to Jacksonville, Florida), and the 17th
largest in the United States. The greater Memphis
metropolitan area, including the adjacent areas of
Mississippi and Arkansas, has a population of
1,260,581. This makes Memphis the second
largest metropolitan area in Tennessee,
surpassed only by metropolitan Nashville.
Memphis is the youngest of Tennessee's four
major cities (traditionally including Knoxville,
Chattanooga, and Nashville). A resident of
Memphis is referred to as a Memphian and the
Memphis region is known as the Mid-South.

Memphis was founded in 1820 by John Overton,
James Winchester, and Andrew Jackson and was
incorporated as a city in 1826. The city was named
after the ancient capital of Egypt on the Nile River.

Shawnee is a rapidly growing city located in northwest Johnson County,
Kansas, United States and is a western suburb of Kansas City, Missouri.
The population was 47,996 at the 2000 census.

Shawnee's fur trading and pioneering heritage blends histories of these
Kansas Territory townships: Monticello and Shawnee.

In an 1825 treaty with the Indians, the U.S. government gave the Shawnee
Indians 1,600,000 acres of land in eastern Kansas, including all of
Johnson County, in exchange for their lands in Missouri. By 1854, a new
treaty was negotiated, with the Indians selling back to the United States all
of the land with the exception of 200,000 acres reserved for their homes,
amounting to 200 acres for each member of the tribe. In 1854 the Kansas
Territory was opened for settlement. The newly repossessed territory was
sold by the government to the incoming home-seekers. Shawneetown
(later shortened to Shawnee) was platted soon after in 1856.

Wilson

Teri and Robbie Wilson now live in Ellisville, Missouri

Ellisville was settled by Captain James Harvey Ferris of Kentucky before 1837. He brought slaves
with him when he settled his property south of Manchester and west of Kiefer Creek Road and it was
here that the house that became known as the "Ellis House" was constructed. The bricks used for
construction of the house were handmade by the slaves and it was also called the "Brick Place" for
this reason.

Captain Ferris sold the house to Vespasian Ellis, a newspaper editor in St. Louis. The Old School
Democrat, the Native American Bulletin, the Washington Temperance Paper, and The Native
American were publications edited by Ellis. In 1842, Ellis became the United States consul to
Venezuela. He ran several ads in the Native American Bulletin in an effort to sell his Ellisville farm. As
a result, it was sold to William A. Hereford in 1842 or 1843. Hereford was a Virginian and is credited
with the naming of Ellisville after his former post office in Ellisville, Virginia. Hereford opened the first
post office here on May 2, 1843. Some believe that the Ellis House itself actually served as the post
office for a time. All historical accounts of the area give the same history, but none state clearly
whether the town was named for Vespasian Ellis or by William Hereford for his Virginian post office.

Hereford sold to Samuel Wilson and he sold to Major Clarkson of Kentucky for whom Clarkson Road
is named. Major Clarkson sold to Captain Benjamin F. Hutchinson of Kentucky, a steamboat captain
and the owner of at least three steamboats. Captain Hutchinson raised fine horses and planted
extensive orchards, greatly improving the surrounding countryside. In 1968 Captain Hutchison
subdivided his farm into small lots.

Adam Doering purchased the brick house and a considerable portion of the land. John Henry
William Rasch purchased the house about 1896 from the Doering's. The Ellisville House stood until
1969 when it was razed.

ELLISVILLE INCORPORATION

The incorporation of Ellisville occurred in 1932 to create a public school district for Ellisville
children. There were three schools in the area that had been organized by the early settlers. Oak
Ridge School was organized sometime in the 1830's. It was used for church services as well as for
school and other social events. Oak Ridge has been enlarged, moved; was closed during the Civil
War, and then reorganized after the war ended. In 1909 a larger building was constructed. The
school is now a private residence on Valley Road.

Alt School was built on land given to St. John's Lutheran Church by William Hutchison. This
one-room schoolhouse still stands on Reinke road. In 1910, Alt School was designated as District
54 by the State of Missouri.

The third school was Ruwwe School located on Old State Road. Originally the school was known as
Sappington School, named for the Sappington Estate, but later renamed Ruwwe School for Judge
Francis Ruwwe. In 1910, Ruwwe School was designated as District 55 by the State of Missouri.
Today the school is a private residence.

All three of these schools were operating in the 1930's but there were many people who wanted to
create a public school district for Ellisville. To form a school district, they learned that they must first
incorporate into a village. The election was held in May, 1932 and voters approved the proposition by
the required 2/3 majority. Village trustees were Lester J. Gieselelr, William S. Shotwell, Wilfred Arft,
Henry F. Reinke, and Earnest Karl.

On June 14, 1932, the Ellisville Village School District was formed. Classes were held in a one-room
brick school building, which still stands on Weis Avenue. In 1938 Ellisville Elementary School was
opened on Marsh Avenue.

In 1949 there was a statewide reorganization of school districts. The Ellisville Village School District
became part of the Reorganized District R-6 of St. Louis County, later called Rockwood School
District.

Ellisville remained a village until 1957. On November 12, 1957, the voters approved a proposition
for the village to become a fourth class city.
