This is what I found on your Wilsons. The family was documented in Goodspeeds, 1887. The "signed Declaration of Independence" may not be true. I've seen statements that this James Wilson did not have any male children who produced male children. The more recent infromation is from the census and marriage records. It's possible that not all of the marriages I attributed to this William Wilson were actually his. This is not the same Wilson family as ours.
