13. Mom used her ex-husbands last name for another child that died as an infant.

Why she kept using it through the births of 2 children is curious.

Wilson, floored to learn that he was mentioned in Cruz’s book, said, in a bombshell of his own, that the account is not accurate: He was not the father of the baby.

“We were divorced and she was living on her own,” said Wilson. He said that Eleanor asked him if she could use his last name on the birth certificate. When Michael Wilson later died, he said, “I hadn’t even met the baby.”

Alan Wilson said he and Eleanor Wilson were being treated in the same hospital when she was pregnant when a nurse told his “his wife” was there — startling the Fort Worthian. “I didn’t know she was pregnant. We were definitely divorced.”

Told that Eleanor had used his last name on Ted Cruz’s birth certificate, Wilson said, “I see. That’s interesting.” Pressed to say how he felt about it, he said, “I don’t have any feelings about it.” He later wondered, “Why did she do that? Maybe she’s adopting that name for no reason.”
