General Notes: Husband - Edwin C. Wilson
He was educated at Jefferson College, Ca-nonsburg, Pennsylvania. He read law under the office tutelage of Edwin M. Stanton, who later rose to fame as war minister in President Lincoln's cabinet. He was admitted to the Ohio bar, and practiced at Steubenville for some years. He then removed to Franklin, Pennsylvania, and was admitted to the bar of Venango County, February 26, 1845. In 1859, he removed to Erie, Pennsylvania, and con-tinued in the practice of his profession with pronounced success. He also served accept-ably as adjutant-general of the state under appointment by Governor William F. Parker, in 1858, and occupied that position until the inauguration of Governor Andrew G. Curtin, two years later, who made him quartermaster-general of the state. On February 12, 1862, he was given a commission by President Lin-coln as assistant quartermaster of volunteers with rank of captain dating from August 16, 1861, and during the civil war period he per-formed service most laborious and of the high-est usefulness in fitting out troops at Harris-burg and later at Buffalo. After the close of the war he took up his residence in Baltimore, Maryland, and resided there until his death. He was a man of distinguished ability and fine address, and possessed fine oratorical gifts. [GPHAV, 673]
