General Notes: Husband - Rev. Samuel Wilson

---

He was a farmer in early life. In 1778 he attended his youngest brother, who died of a fever contracted in camp. He was infected by his brother's malady, and being very ill resolved to devote himself to the ministry if his life was spared. Entering Princeton College after his recovery, he was graduated in 1782. He studied theology with the Rev. Dr. Robert Cooper, of Middle Spring, and was licensed by Donegal Presbytery, Oct. 17, 1786. He was ordained pastor of the Big Spring Presbyterian congregation at Newville, June 20, 1787, where he remained until his death. The fine old stone church at Newville was built in his early ministry.
