MARTHA 'PATTIE' WILSON
(Feb. 8, 1771- April 14, 1866).She was apparently the daughter of Thomas
Wilson (b. ca. 1735) of Brunswick County, VA. In 1758 Thomas Wilson married
Elizabeth McLin, also of Brunswick County; she was the daughter of William
McLin (d. 1800).
Thomas Wilson and Elizabeth McLin had children Elizabeth
(b. 1759), Thomas (b. 1765), George (b. 1765), John (b. 1767), Edward (b.
1769), Martha (b. 1771), and William (b. 1773), who might be the father
of the James Wilson listed above.
