Your statements:
"1st Robert Wilson (Sr.) or/(I) born 1709 - Jan. 27, 1794"
WRONG!You have decided he was born as early as 1709 in order to make him older than Samuel Wilson, born 1711 and Zaccheus Wilson, who you say was born 1713 (though I don't know where you got that date.The point is that Samuel Wilson, Sr., born 1709 and Zaccheus Wilson, Sr. who died in 1795, not 1796, were neither one brothers to Robert "Old Robin" Wilson, Major David Wilson, or Zacheus Wilson , the signer and surveyor. According to cemetery records for Steele Creek Presbyterian Cemetery in Mecklenburg Co., NC, Robert Wilson was born 1717, died 1793, married Eleanor Carothers in Pennsylvania in 1747.
"2nd Samuel Wilson (Sr.) born 1711 - March 13, 1778"
Dates are correct for this man, but he was not a member of this Wilson family.Records indicate he was born in Leeds, England and had a brother, Robert, who was a member of the English nobility.Our Wilson family were Scots-Irish and came from Northern Ireland.
"3rd Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) born 1713 - June 3, 1796"
WRONG.Do not know where your date of birth comes from, but do know the date of death is not correct.He signed his will October 20th, 1795. He had died prior to Dec 4, 1795, the date his son, Zaccheus Wilson, Jr. , of Oglethorpe Co., GA, Executor of Zaccheus Wilson, Dec'd, sold the last of the NC property to Elisha Smart. (Mecklenburg Co., NCDeed BK 15 pg 292) The June date is the date the probate records were filed. Also, this man was not a brother to Major David Wilson or Robert 'Old Robin" Wilson.He was most likely the cousin, Zaccheus Wilson, that Robert named in his will, not because he was a surveyor, but most likely because he owned land in the same area as Robert that he had a plantation on for about 40 years by the time Robert wrote his will and would have been knowledgeable about the quality of the land to be divided so that each of the heirs would have equal value. Despite your continual desperate claims that this man had a land grant in Tennessee and left NC by 1784, DOCUMENTED RECORDS in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia totally discredit that claim.
"4th thru 9th are 3 females & 3 additional sons or/brothers
in book - but to answer your concerns only these four."
There is record of three sisters, but I know that you have them wrong in your book if it is the same as you have posted on this website.The sister, Mary, was the wife of Robert Harris (of Rocky River), and the grandmother of Rev. Nicholson Ross Morgan's wife, the couple who provided a lot of information to Lyman Draper concerning the signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration.The sister, Martha, was the wife of Capt. Stephen Alexander, and there are Pension records concerning her.She was, also, the person who provided Foote with much information about the churches in the area for his writings.As for the third sister, there is no definite record of her or her family.
"10th David Wilson (Sr.) born 1729 - December 29, 1803"
I don't know where you have found this date of birth, maybe just guessing.It is probably fairly close.The date of death, I believe, was Dec 27th, 1803 according to an affadavit given by his son, Zacheus, in 1825 in a lawsuit in Sumner Co., TN (Taylor vs Taylor #6701)
"I could go on with Major David Wilson son, Zaccheus Wilson born 1780 or/his daughter Elizabeth Wilson who marries her cousin Zaccheus Wilson (I) Nov. 24, 1790 in Sumner County, the s/o of his nephew Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) but I believe you get the picture NOW or/ at least I HOPE SO Sir."
WRONG AGAIN!David Wilson's son, Zacheus, was born about 1778, not 1780, again based on his own deposition given in the above referenced lawsuit.The daughter, Elizabeth Wilson did marry Zacheus Wilson in 1790, but he was the son of Samuel Wilson, who died 1814 in Sumner County, not the Zaccheus Wilson, Jr. you claim.
"Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) & Martha had son Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) born 1742 - who was the signer & executor of his Will June 3, 1796 in Oglethorpe County or/Indian land....please note the date...since most of you keep trying to tell a different tale, however Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) handled the Will as well as the Probate Records in 1802, before RETURNING to Mecklenburg were his father-in-law died March of 1802 - this Zaccheus Wilson (his son-in-law) attested to his Will along with Jean White Wilson March 27, 1802.
Then Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) lost his wife Mary Russell Wilson about a year after her father David Wilson 1732-1802, had died in ca.1803.....THEN RETURNS to Middle Tennessee and marries 2nd for both, Nancy Long (White) ca.1804/05 in Bedford County then died Nov. 1824 in Sumner County, Tennessee."
This is so full of ERROR that it is ludicrous.Zaccheus Wilson, Jr., son of the Zaccheus Wilson who died in 1795 in OGLETHORPE COUNTY, STATE OF GEORGIA (not Indian lands) was NOT the Zacheus Wilson, born 1742, d. 1824 in Sumner Co., TN. The Zacheus Wilson who died in Sumner County, TN in 1824 was the BROTHER of Major David Wilson (d. 1803), he WAS the signer and the surveyor and the one who married first to widow Elizabeth Conger Ross.
I assume your statement that "Mary Russell, daughter of David Wilson" was a typo., but she was never married to Zaccheus Wilson, JR.. Her husband was Zacheus Wilson, (1765-1842), son of Robert & Eleanor Wilson. This Zacheus Wilson appeared in court on the same day in connection with his mother's estate, and that of his father-in-law, as Executor of both estates.
This Zaccheus Wilson, Jr. who you claim was in Mecklenburg Co. and then in Tennessee was actually in Oglethorpe County, GA until AT LEAST 1808 based on documented records there.
"Susan (Chenoweth) Wilson died between August 20th 1830 & September 1, 1831, when he married Nancy Long (White) (Wilson) the widow of his uncle, who had died 1824 in Sumner Co, they were married & recorded in Williamson County....where he died October 1842 with a Will and fourteen children - 5 by 1st wife Elizabeth & then 9 by his 2nd wife Susan Chenoweth Wilson - There were no children of Nancy Long White by her marriage to TWO DIFFERENT Zaccheus Wilson"
My only comment on this statement is that I think you must have experimented with LSD at some point in your life, or you are smoking something funny.
