Harold, This James is my brick wall. He was b. 1767 and he m. 1795 in Bath Co. to Sarah Mounts. There was a Wilson Settlement in the Jackson River area. My bro.s and I visited Bath Co. and Greenbrier Co. last fall. The Wilson Settlement was on the Highland and Bath Co. line on the Jackson River. This river is beautiful and wide with many shallow places. He remained in Wayne Co., WV but his "neighbor"(no kinship found) was William who with his children relocated to Wayne and then across the Ohio to Gallia Co., Ohio. I think we have two different James Wilson here....my bro. is also, a James Wilson.
