 Includes NotesNotes for John WILSON:
JOHN WILSON was one of the earliest settlers in Lycoming county, and came here from New Jersey about the time of the Revolution. He took up 440 acres of land, which he purchased of John Hutton, and, erecting a cabin, began clearing off the unbroken forest. His home was near the place where the family lived in later years. He married Elizabeth Schooley in New Jersey, prior to the Revolution, and she bore him seven children: Enoch; Ezra; Robert, who married and settled in Canada; Ann, who married Jonathan Wilson; Belinda, who married Aaron Wilson; Amy, who was twice married, her first husband being Clifton Wilson, and her second husband Abraham Kinney, and Lavina, who married James Marshall, all of whom are dead. Mr. Wilson divided his farm between his sons, Enoch and Ezra, before he died, the former taking the lower 240 acres, on which the house stood, and Ezra the upper 200 acres, where he afterwards resided. The parents died in this township.

He settled on the high ground at Christian Hill above Warrensville.
