""Zachariah Wilson, the grandfather of Frederick Wilson, Otsego, Ohio, was of Irish descent and born in Pennsylvania. He married Lorena Chaneth and they were the parents of nine children; Jeremiah, Isaac, Edward, Joseph, James, Hannah, Sallie, Batsy, and Lorena. Mr. Wilson moved to Ohio and settled among the pioneers of Guernsey County about 1813-1815, when that county was a wilderness. He lived in Wills township, was a weaver by trade and died suddenly when about fifty years of age. Mrs. Wilson was a member of the Methodist church.
Jeremiah Wilson, son, and the father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Fayette county, Penn., and was a boy when his parents brought him to the Ohio wilderness. He learned farming and married Elizabeth Slaughter, daughter of Fred Slaughter, from Virginia, of Dutch descent and early settlers of Guernsey county, Ohio. To Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were born twelve children. The following lived to maturity: Frederick, Zachariah, John, Mary, Joseph, Jesse, Robert, James, and Margaret. After marriage Mr. Wilson settled in Wills township, Guernsey county, where he lived until 1846, when he moved to Knox township of the same county, and settled on a farm of 160 acres. He was a substantial farmer and a hard-working, industrious man in his day. Both himself and wife were members of the Baptist church.""
Records from Salem Baptist Church in Richland Twp., Guernsey County, OH list a death date of February 16, 1849. Jeremiah and Elizabeth Wilson were "received by baptism" at that church on May 15, 1842.
