Surnames: Wilson, Willson, Porter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HZB.2ACI/859 Message Board Post: I have been told that my great great grandfather was the first recorded birth in Medina County. His name was William Wilson, also spelled Willson. His birth date was November 14, 1819. He was the son of David Wilson (Willson) and Abigail Porter Wilson. He was born in Guilford. I find David listed in the 1820 and subsequent censuses, but I find very little mention of his son William. Can anyone supply any more information? Thank you.
