"Ancestrees"

John WILSON ¹

  General Notes:

The following will was provided by Karen Dutton from the following site: http//ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/chester/wills/wills1760-1.txt. "Wills Abstracts and Administrations 1713-1825 Chester Co, PA (Proved 1760-1) WILSON, JOHN. Birmingham. September 19, 1759. November 24, 1761. Provides for wife Hannah according to the terms of marriage contract. To son John 3 shillings, 5 pence out of each £ of my estate. To daughter Ruth Lewis 3 shillings per £ of my estate. To daughter Hannah Mendenhall 3/5 per £ of my estate. To son James remainder of estate real and personal. Executors Son in law Benjamin Mendenhall and William Harvey, Sr. Witnesses Adam Redd, Ann Redd, Jesse Mendenhall." I have estimated John and his 2nd wife's birth dates from his wife's first marriage to Henry Oborn.

It is theory on my part that the son John mentioned above is the John Wilson married to Ruth. That has yet to be proven.

John married Ruth COOKE 4d 7mo 1738 in New Garden M.M., Delaware, PA.¹ (Ruth COOKE was born before 1682 and died in 1764 in Birmingham Twp., Chester, PA ^{1 3}.)

John next married.
