His name is often given as William Benjamin Wilson in family trees on the internet, but middle names were uncommon at this time period, and it is most likely this originated as "William or Benjamin Wilson" - see the note from Hopewell Rogers[2].

It is not clear if his birth and death information are accurate or simply reflect that it is assumed he was born shortly before his wife was, and that he died before her. The places might or might not be correct (no apparent source other than family trees).
