Please see the following random notes which may help you regarding Robert. I have one note on him in Hancock County. I also see that Andrew Wilson (of Wilkes County) had a son named Robert.
Although it doesn't show in the list below, I had believed the R. Wright in the 1840 Monroe Census is the same as a Reuben Wright shown in another census index but I do not have the proof at hand

John WILSON and wife Elizabeth Moore Wilson came to Greene Co. before 1800. Their children have been listed as Sally, who married Thomas Glass, Jesse M., John, and two who died very young. I have also seen where there might have been other children, but cannot confirm as of yet. He died 1835, she died 1840. His will leaves all to his beloved wife and children, unnamed! He chose as his executors close friends Oliver Porter and James Daniel. John Wilson was a member of the Va. continental line in Rev. war and was said to be from Prince Edward Co. Va., although one source I saw listed him as from Buckingham Co. Va. I am trying to connect him with my known ancestor William Wilson who settled in Morgan Co.
Will 1843 Rebecca Wilson, to son Thomas B. Wilson
Will 1866 John Wilson, to wife Polly, daughter Mary M. Wilson, sons James C. Wilson, William A. Wilson, and George L. Wilson. Plantation of Fishing Creek.
(another will, that of Clayborn Anderson, 1827, suggests Polly Wilson, wife of John Wilson, Jr., is his sister and letters of admin. of Brazar (Brazier) Cook Anderson in 1799 & later suggest he may have been their father)
Wilkes County
Wilson, Andrew (#1) - The 200 acre plat surveyed for Andrew Wilson is found in Plat Book H, page 435. The warrant for the survey was issued on July 12, 1784 in Wilkes County by William Downs Esq., Senior Justice. The survey was executed on July 28, 1784 by William Downs, D.S., and Samuel Creswell, C. Surveyor. The land had been warranted previously, Old Warrant No. 846. The grant was issued to Andrew Wilson on December 9, 1784 by Governor John Houstown and it was registered on December 14, 1784. (Grant Book FFF, page 94) The most striking feature of this survey is its depiction of the confluence of Hardin’s Creek and Mercer Creek. The neighbors surrounding the plat are shown as Benjamin Few on the south, John Thornton’s old survey on the west, John Mulkey’s old survey and Silas Mercer on the north, and Sanders Walker on the east.
