Gail, My best information on Catherine Wilson's is in a tract sent to me by Rhonda Wilson of Cairo, W.Va. While the author is not shown I believe it to be Burr Wilson of the Cairo-Parkersburg area, who I think is generally recognized as a leading Wilson family historian. ( A couple or three years ago I heard that he was very ill. I don't know if he is still living or not). The tract quotes from a document by Wirt B. Wilson, M. D., Charleston, W. Va. which was given to the tract author by an elderly lady in Morgantown, Mrs S. F. Talbot. The following appears to be attributed to Wirt B. Wilson but it's not absolutely clear on cursory examination. Sometimes the author also quotes Mrs. Talbot. [My separate records show Wirt Bunton Wilson, M. D. was the son of John W. Wilson and the grandson of Samuel Wilson of Upshur County and likely was b. in the 1870's]. At page four (467) of the subject tract; "William Wilson, a son of Col. John Wilson, was born in Armoch Co., Ireland in 1722 and died in 1810 in Doe Hill, then Pendleton County, now Highland Co., Va. He came to America with his father when...fifteen years old and lived in Augusta Co. until 1758 when he, along with his brother, Capt. Samuel Wilson moved to Doe Hill.....His wife's name was Mary and they were parents of 10 children whose names and dates of birth are as follows: ... [No. 5] Elizabeth, born Sept. 26, 1752. Other sources list only 5 children of of William and Mary Wilson. The tract author (Burr Wilson?) concludes that the 10 are correct. I hope this responsive to your query. I have the sibling's names, and information on William's father,brothers and sisters including Cap's Samuel Wilson, killed in the battle of Pt. Pleasant, if you are interested.
