   Samuel Wilson (1762 - bef. 1812)
   
   Samuel Wilson
   Born 1762 in Mecklenburg, North Carolinamap
   Son of Robert Wilson and Eleanor (Carothers) Wilson
   Brother of Joseph Wilson [half], Aaron A. Wilson [half], John Wilson [half], James Wilson [half], Robert Wilson [half], Zaccheus Wilson [half], Josiah Wilson [half], Thomas Wilson [half], Moses Wilson [half] and David Burke Wilson [half]
   Died before Jul 1812 in Williamson, Tennessee, USA
   
   Note: I have no record to substantiate the name of Samuel's wife, but itappearsas such in all family records. The Revolutionary War Pension of JaneWilson indicates Samuel Wilson, who was her husband's brother, was born1762 and was also a soldier in the war, serving in Mecklenburg County,NC. It is believed Samuel and his brother Robert was the first of theWilson family to move to Williamson Co., and they was followed by theireight brothers who within a few years all settled nearby either inWilliamson or Marshall Counties. Evidently Samuel lived in Georgia for a few years before coming to Tennessee.
