He taught military training in Washington County, Hawkins County and Carter County. The estate inventory lists many men from east TN who owed him for Tuition. Does anyone know who this Samuel S. Wilson was? He is also referred to as Major Samuel Wilson. I assume he was doing this training for the war of 1812 as many of these people still owed him in 1819? I am looking for a Susan wilson who was born about 1810 in East Tn.
