General Notes: Husband - Nathaniel Wilson


The history of West Stockbridge says he was a native of Eng­land, but the records of Rehoboth seem to prove that he was born there. This history says he came from Re­hoboth, lived in Canada and in Richmond near the Stockbridge line. He served in the French and Indian war in Canada, at which time his life is romantically said to have been saved by a spider's web. “Pursued by Indians he took refuge in a hollow log which being ob­served the following morning by his pursuers with a spider's web across the end, was sup­posed to be vacant, they remarking 'no white man there, cause spider's web' ” and he was unmolested. He married twice and had twenty-one children.
