Robert T. Wilson (1860-1919) and his wife Mabel Chunn Wilson (died 1951) lived in Baltimore. Robert was a physician who trained at the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland before joining his father Dr. Henry P.C. Wilson (1827-1897) in practice in Baltimore. Henry and his wife Alicia Brewer Griffith Wilson (born 1840) lived at 814 Park Avenue, and built a home for Robert and Mabel at 820 Park Avenue upon their marriage. Robert’s siblings included Henrietta (Etta) Chauncey Wilson (Whiteley), Henry Parke Custis Wilson, William Griffith Wilson, Alicia Brewer Wilson (Barber), and Emily Brewer Wilson (Waters).

Henry, president of the American Gynaecological Society and one of the first gynecological surgeons in America, was born in Somerset County and graduated from the University of Maryland in 1851. Robert was also a surgeon; in later years he was affiliated with the Hospital for Women of Maryland and the Eudowood Sanatorium, and was involved in the anti-tuberculosis campaign. Robert was a member of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty and of the Royal Society of Medicine in London.
