WILSON was born in 1797, and was among the first to settle in the county. He lived 80 years ago in the fifth district, in the house now occupied by William Watson, near the farm of D.R. Isabella. He removed later four miles south of Athens, in the old Federal road, where for many years he kept a public house. He was impaneled on the first jury held in the first circuit court at Calhoun. He lived to be 95 years of age and dies a few years since at his home in the eleventh district. He has four sons, who located in Missouri. His oldest son, May, married a daughter of Joel Triplett of the twelfth district. His second son, D.A. is yet alive at a good old age at Scholten, MO. John and William were the other two that settled in Missouri. The youngest son, Frances, died at Natchez, Mississippi, during the Civil War, while in the Federal Army. He left a widow who became the wife of M.P. Long, who served the county so long and faithfully as register. Patrick Wilson, another son, was married to Nancy Barnett, of the sixth district, a sister to W.C. and Steve Barnett. Patrick during his life, had the misfortune to lose a lower limb, it being ground off by a threshing machine. He and his wife have long since passed over the river and their mortality rests in the Mount Cumberland grave yard.
