General Notes: Husband - Capt. James Wilson


His parents came to America from Scotland.

Shortly after the close of the Revolutionary he war went westward with a colony to the section now included in Washington and Allegheny counties, settling in Allegheny County on the "Forks of the Yough" (Youghiogheny). He was captain of a company of "minute men" and was engaged in one or two expeditions against the hostile Indians which to some extent still roamed over the region.
