    3. 2 -5 times a day, I walk a mile plus on the wide berm of 4 lane Ohio RT 125 25 miles east of downtown Cincinnati. Seldom,whether I walk east-west,or,on Sugartree Road, do I walk beyond the 540 acres bought in 1805 by my Rev Jesse and Elizabeth Wilson Justice. They sold farms on Mantua and Raccoon creeks, Greenich township, Gloucester Co,NJ that 1805. Eastbound I walk past the 2 story frame they,or their son, Robert,b 1806,built. West,I'm walking past a 2 story,federal brick farmhouse built,I find,in 1818. It sits on a portion of the 540 acres. [7acres today]. 1818. They found,and preserved a date stone while remodelking in 2000. I think the old brick was built by Savil Wilson,Jr,of Woodbury Ceek,Deptford Township, Gloucester Co,NJ. Ann Wainwright Wilson was married Nov 20,1818 to John Iler [Jiler in the Swedesboro church records. They raised a son in Indiana, Savil Wilson Iler,who was very early in Oregon. Ex Nantucket whaler,Thomas Pinkham was the J.P. [He had sailed around the world,and named the nearby Ohio village,Bantam, for Bantam,in Java. ] Maybe John Wilson who,1807,m Betsy Leeds,of James and Rhoda Byard Leeds, is a daughter. If so,Mahlom Wilson,the 3rd to live in the old brick,was a kinsman. As was Cliff Justice,no 4,and Annabelle Justice Harris,no 5,and Rosalie Harris Douglass,no 7. [From memory] Edward Willson m Alexander Bennett's daughter at the Mt Holly, NJ Quaker meeting in the 1720's,and ,1730's,both families moved south to Woodbury Creek,Gloucester Co,NJ. 1747 Edward Wilson died,and his son,Sevil,got his plantation on Woodbury Creek. Widow Sarah Wilson was involved settling a WARD GIRL'S ESTATE. Sevil Wilson was one of the party who tried to break the Woodbury Creek NJ dam,in the 1750's,and also married Susanah Chew,of Jeffery and Amy Driver Chew then. 1786,Rev Jesse Justice lost his 1st young wife [STEELMAN?] up Mantua Creek,recorded Samuel Mickle in his store ledger. About 1790,he married Elizabeth Wilson,of Sevil,of Edward. . 1798-1803 Rev Jesse Justice was riding Methoidist circuts in NJ,and DEL.Born,1762,he had Rev War service on the Rebel side,while his 2nd wife's uncle,Jonathan Chew, was a Gloucester Co,NJ Loyalist leader. Sevil Wilson was taken prisoner by a British unit from Philadelphia,and jailed,awile. My own farm was Savil Justice,of Jesse m 1824 Ruhama,of James Blackman. I don't know how Wainwright ties in. I know it's an old,old Gloucester Co,NJ name, I've been told that Edward Wilson was a son of an earlier Irish Quaker,Savil Wilson, of Fenwisk's 1675 colony,and that infro came from the Woodbury Hist Soc Library- no proof. Jesse Wilson,of Sevil and Susanah Chew Wilson,as a Quaker,move to n Warren Co,Ohio. Beers "WARREN CO OHIO HISTORY" has his bio. 1846,Amanda Justice's diary tells of a visit from this farm,to 'Uncle Wilson". A night in the "Golden Lamb 'Inn in Lebanon,Ohio going [still open] and a night in my own Hon.David Fisher's inn in Wilmington,h was mentioned. 1820 CENSUS,Tate township,Clermont Co,Ohio census,Savil Wilson's name is next to James Shotwell's. James Shotwell is known to have had a stagecoach inn in the house just west,til 1838. Savil Wilson is known to have moved across Clermont Co Oh by 1826,wen he was a J.P.of Union township. Then on to Indiana.
