General Notes: Husband - Capt. James Wilson

---

His parents came to America from Scotland.

The Wilson family was one of the earliest settled in Washington County, Pennsylvania. They were from Franklin and Adams counties.

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.
