I don't know names of any other children besides Catherine. What I know (assume) comes from a family letter dated August 21, 1916. Wilson Geneology. It follows: "I am writing this from what I know personally and what I heard my Father and Mother say many years ago. My Father, John J. Wilson, was born in Monroe Township, Orange County, New York, April 5, 1793. And my Mother, Catherine Weymer, was born same town and county on August 25, 1800. Their parents lived three miles apart. My father's father was Scott's Irish born and lived in Belfast, Ireland till ten years old. His parents came to America and settled in Orange County, New York. There he learned Blacksmithing. He always worked at that business. He was a very staunch Methodist. A very quiet, conservative man. My mother said one of the nicest, kindest of men. My father's mother was Charity Everman. Her father was a Sadler and Harness maker and lived in Goshen, N.Y. My mother was German and French nationality. Her father came to America when 21 years old. He was born & raised in Whittenburg, Germany (the birth place of Martin Luther). His name was Jacob Weymer and he was a farmer. Her mother's name was Sarah Izerman-her father was a leather dealer-had a leather and shoe store in New York City. My mother's mother was a great niece to the DeHaven brothers who loaned the money to General Washington that has caused so much talk and contention for so many years. The DeHavens were French nationality and a wealthy people. Two of the brothers were Foundry men and one was a farmer. The two oldest men did business in Goshen, New York and Philadelphia. Three of the Weymers originally were factory and farm people. The wilsons, my fathers brothers, one was a farmer; and one was a sea captain, and was shipwrecked between New York & London; one was a clothing merchant in New York; and my father was a charcoal burner. My father's and mother's people all lived in and around New York and Goshen and Philadelphia. And there are many of them there yet. My father and mother married in Goshen, Orange County, New York, October 18, 1821, and always lived near there until they moved to Shelby County, Ohio in March 1938. They lived in Ohio ten years. On February 6, 1848, they moved to Kendall County, Illinois, where they spent the remainder of their days on the old Home farm on the Ottawa Road, two and one half miles east of Plattville. My parents had ten children when they left Orange County, New York. There were three born in Ohio and one in Kendall County, Illinois." I don't know if this helps with the Weymers. I hope it wasn't too long to post on this message board. The letter goes on to list the 14 children, birth and marriage dates. I can email those if you'd like, or post if it's ok. Donna
