A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Robert Wilson
The Hotchkiss manuscript says he had one child, who predeceased him. Robert was left part of his father's land in his will, but a deed of land from William and Catharine Wilson to William Thompson in 1817 (see notes for brother William) says that Robert died without issue and Robert's share of the land then went to his brother David. By the 1782 tax book (Land Tax Records for Augusta County, microfilm Reel 21 from the Library of Virginia; note that 1782 is the first year available), David was paying taxes on the entire 461 acres so Robert probably died before then. (Thanks to Doug Jenkins for the tip about the tax records.)
