According to the 1879 History of Green County: "Wilmington is situated in Township12, Range 12 in the Northwestern precinct, in the northwestern portion of the county and was laid out in 1836 on the 18th day of May by Lucius S. Norton, Thomas Groce, Thomas Hanks, Young, Henderson, Lane, and Highee. It is six miles from the Illinois River and one and a half miles north of Drake Satation on the Louisiana branch of the C. & A. R. R.. John Coates (the father of eight sons and two daughters, all of whom still live in the county, except Chester, who resides in Scott County), was among the early settlers in this section, and was one of the largest money lenders in the county. He was killed in 1874, be being knocked from the railraod track by an engine." This is present day Patterson Twp., I believe. Patterson Cemetery is aka Wilmington Cemetery.
