General Notes: Husband - James Willson


He passed his youth on the home place in Buffalo township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and received a good common-school education. At the age of twenty years he went to Philadelphia, and studied ornamental work, remaining there several years, then came to Taylorstown, Washington County, where he thereafter resided, engaged in painting. The family were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Taylorstown, of which Mr. Wilson was an elder and liberal supporter. He was, in politics, a stanch Democrat and an able worker, and held nearly all the township offices, being for fifteen years connected in various ways with the school board.
