James Wilson Genealogy

I. The ancestor of the Daniel² Wilson family came from Tyrone, Ireland, in 1737, with the famous Scotch Irish emigrants. These emigrants were a hardy, industrious, long-lived, honest and sturdy race of people. A great proportion of New Hampshire’s most distinguished sons are found among their descendants.

One of these emigrants was James¹ Wilson. The history of Peterborough gives his name as WILLIAM. Later researches favor JAMES, but we are not positively sure of the name. Nor do we know who was his wife. They brought with them from Ireland a son, Robert², and a daughter, Lettuce². In this country they had at least two more sons, Daniel² and James².

Robert² lived in Peterboro’ and was the father of Anne³ (killed by a log falling from a fence upon her, in childhood), Hon. James³, William³, Anne³ (who m. Jeremiah Swan), Mary³ (who m. Gen. John Steele), Hon. John³ of Belfast, Me., (in the U. S. Congress in 1813-1814), Joseph³ and Sarah³ (m. Hon. John Scott Harrison, son of President William Henry Harrison, 9th President of the U. S. and father of Benjamin Harrison, 23rd President of the U. S.)

Hon. James³ Wilson of Peterboro and Keene was the father of Gen. James⁴ Wilson, the well known lawyer and orator of Keene and a member of the 30th and 31st U. S. Congresses; Col. Robert⁴ Wilson, who was a well known character in Keene; Elizabeth Jane⁴ (who m. William G. Hunter); and Sarah M. A.⁴, who m. Col. Frank Lee of Boston.

The emigrant, James¹ Wilson, spent the winter of 1737-8 in West Cambridge, Mass., and then moved to Townsend, Mass., where was b. Daniel², Nov. 6, 1745.
