General Notes: Husband - James Blaine Wilson
He resided on the farm in South Strabane township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, which was the property of his great-grandfather, and occupied the house erected thereon by his grandfather.
During the Civil War, he enlisted for service. He was called home before three months expired, however, by the sudden death of his father, whose responsibilities he then assumed.
His great-great-uncle, Joel Barlow, author of "The Columbiad," and Robert Fulton's most intimate friend, was Minister to France from this country and afterward was private secretary to Napoleon during the Russian campaign and was present at the burning of Moscow, and he died from exposure during this campaign.
