There are two Joseph Wilson's in the 1840 census for Harrison Co., one in Athens Twp. (20 and under 30, married, no children) and one in Moorefield Twp. (40 and under 50, married, 7 sons, 5 daughters). The former is likely, but not conclusively, the Joseph Wilson mentioned in the 1833 deed. Neither is consistent with the Joseph Wilson, age 32, in the 1850 census. Joseph Wilson was obviously of legal age in 1833, because he signed the deed, but not in 1823, when his father's will was signed, without mentioning him by name. Therefore, his birth date is most likely between 1802 and 1812. I am interested in any further information on Joseph Wilson, especially other recorded deeds or wills in Harrison Co. that might suggest a later residence, or any evidence of a marriage, likely after 1833.
