General Notes: Husband - John Wilson

---

He was somewhat noted in his day as a scholar and educator.
When the children of his brother-in-law, James Marquis, were small, their father was killed by a falling tree, leaving the support and training of those children to him and his wife, who were childless. Owing to their home in the Wilson household, the children re­ceived a much better education than most young men and women of their day.
