I have a James Riley Wilson, minister, born 1784. He married first Margaret Green and second Sarah Cameron. He had a daughter Susan Caroline, born 1821. Nine children in all. I don't have anything more on Susan, but if the rest of my information matches yours, please contact me. I have ancestors for James and for his wives. This James' father was also James, minister, born 1745 in England, married to Agness Black. He also had a daughter Susan. Eight children in all, there. The name was spelled Willson, then. I have no information on where either man was in 1797, but they both died in Georgia.

This information from a letter written, Oct. 1797, to James by his brother, Lt. Robert Wilson, who was in the British Navy. Robert was in Portsmouth, Great Britian, on sick leave, when he wrote the letter. Robert had a sister that he mentioned in the letter. I am also looking for Susan M Wilson, b. abt 1785, and believe she is either the daughter or sister referred to in the letter. Susan married Joseph Whedbee/Whedby/Whidby about 1800 to 1818. Their children (that I know about) were James (died abt age 16 in Jones Co, GA); Mary Jane b. abt 1819, TN or GA, d in Al, m Marcus Heath in Mareitte, GA; Eliza Ansley b abt 1818, TN, d. in GA, never married; Julia, b ?, d in GA, married a Mr. Fraser.
