• Census: 1 Jun 1905, Wilson Hollow Roads, Silver Creek, Hanover Twp., Chautaqua Co., NY
• Probate: 9 Dec 1942, Chautauqua Co, NY

Notes:

He was a farmer, and was remembered as being frugal, but not tight, and as a stern man. He believed in being a good provider, and in the value of owning real estate. His children would only be allowed to go to school when there was no work on the farm. He never had electricity or indoor running water, though he eventually did get gas lighting.

It was common for men to come to the farm looking for a place to sleep for the night, or for some work. He would not refuse a man sleeping quarters in the barn, but would only hire men with narrow hips (apparently, he believed they would not be lazy and would work hard).

Birth:
Some sources say he was born in the town of Pomfret. A newspaper item after his death states Dunkirk.

Census:
The 1905 state census shows father Robert age 68 (occupation "farming"), wife Mary C age 48, and children: Ralph age 17, Wilson age 16, Harold age 14, Jessie age 18, Mary age 10 and Samuel age8.

Robert married Mary Campbell Wilson on 25 Nov 1886. Mary (daughter of James Wilson and Philena Bailey Davison) was born on 17 Dec 1856 in Hanover Township, Chautauqua, New York, United States; died on 10 Jan 1939 in Hanover Township, Chautauqua, New York, United States. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She was tall and stately, and seemed very prim and proper, though she is remembered as having a big heart. She attended Oberlin College (Ohio) Preparatory Department from 1881 to 1883 (the Preparatory Department is similar to our modern High School). The College lists her as a member of the Methodist-Episcopal Church.

Notes:

From the 1891 book Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Chautauqua County, New York by Obed Edsen [written and published while James was still alive]:

JAMES WILSON was born November 24, 1806, in Scotland and is a son of William and Margaret (Reid) Wilson. His grandfather James Wilson was also a native of Scotland, of plebeian birth, where he passed his life and died. His grandfather on the maternal side was like-wise a Scotchman and a merchant by occupation. He died in his native land. William Wilson, father of James Wilson, was born in Scotland, and died in 1832.

The son, James Wilson, received what education he has in the schools of his native country and in 1827 he bid adieu to his Scottish home and sailed for America. He first took up his residence in the town of Hanover, New York, near Silver Creek, an uncle, John Reid, who died March 16, 1837, and himself settling upon the farm where he still lives. Here they built a cabin in the midst of dense woods and began to clear the tract of land upon which they had settled. The present condition of his farm is in a great measure due to his own efforts and untiring energy.

James Wilson was thrice married ; first, to Philena Davison, by whom he had twelve children. His second wife was Harriet Flint, upon whose death, he again married, Mrs. Matilda (Toney)Johnson. His surviving children are Margaret, wife of S. L. Mead, a resident of near Forestville, Chautauqua county, New York; Henry, a farmer by occupation, living with his father ; and Mary C, wife of Robert O. Bradley, a farmer living near Silver Creek.

James Wilson has always followed the vocation of farming, and, as such, has been very successful, gathering about him considerable real and personal property. He is a thorough-going republican in his political allegiance and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was formerly a member of the I. O. O. F. in good standing, but has allowed his membership to lapse. Mr. Wilson enjoys the respect and good will of his neighbors.

James married Philena Bailey Davison in 1831. Philena (daughter of Henry Davison and Sarah Estey) was born on 12 Sep 1814 in Readsboro, Bennington, Vermont, United States; died on 7 Aug 1868 in Silver Creek, Chautauqua, New York, United States; was buried in 1868 in Hanover Center, Chautauqua, New York, United States.
