WilsonHistory



Tom Wilson

Tom Wilson is the earliest known member of my branch of Wilsons.   He immigrated from Europe to America in the early 1700s.   I do not know when or where he was born, where he lived, who he married, where he immigrated from, or when or where he arrived here in America.

The family of Tom Wilson and unknown:

  • Betsy Wilson m. Charly Russell
    • Josh Russell
    • Betsy Russell
  • Polly Wilson (b. 1754 in PA, m. Mr. McQuilims)
  • Sarah Wilson (m. John Burris?)
  • Samuel Wilson (no family information)
  • Robert Wilson (wife's name unknown)
    • David "Devil" Wilson - so called because he could run like the devil.
  • James Wilson m. Sarah Carson (my ancestors)
NOTE: Little is known for sure about these early Wilson families.   The name Betsy was also spelled Betsey, and is probably short for Elizabeth.
