Ruth; Here are some Blunt/Wilson records I have in my data base. In 1752 Chowan: LEMUEL WILSON of VA m. Marta ?. Bondsman: Arthur Allen, JOS. BLUNT, James Trotter, D. Cartwright...Chowan Marriages 1803 Bertie Co: JAMES WILSON m. SILVEY OUTLAW BM: JACOB OUTLAW, JOS BLOUNT 1810 census NATHANIEL BLOUNT was living in Pitt. He was an Episcopalian minister who is mentioned together with REV JAMES LEWIS WILSON in church records. They both were active in the Reformation movement of the Episcopal Church in NC in the 1790s. James L. Wilson lived at Williamston in Martin Co but preached both there at a church built on the farm of William Slade and at Tarboro in Edgecombe. Rev Nathaniel Blount was of Pitt and preached there and in Edgecombe in In 1795 He was described as living on the Tar River. Also on the Tar River but in Edgecombe was the land devised to the Edgecombe branch of our Wilson family by William Willson of Northampton in 1745. As far as I know, no one has ever been able to connect Nathaniel to the Blounts who were living in the Blunt Bridger house that is now a museum in Tarboro, Edgecombe Co. However, in between the Blount tenure and the Bridger family, the house was owned by Lewis Dicken Wilson a cousin of the Bridgers and a ggrandson of our William and Rebecca Braswell Wilson. Lewis D. Wilson was a long-time state politician who d. in the Mexican War and for whom Wilson Co was named. I did find one deed of his in Pitt Co, but since he was doing a lot of land speculation, it may have no significance. The Wilson family of Pitt who I suspect to be connected to our Wilsons was Samuel son of Rev War Soldier, Willis Wilson. Willis was b. in Craven Co & d. in Pitt. Samuel named one son Shade and one son Lewis Wilson, both unusual names for the Wilson surname in NC & SS VA and both used by our proven Wilson family. I have a limited amt of info on Nathaniel Blunt ...have you looked at him? Let me know if any of this is of interest.
