1883 History of Henry County Missouri, National Historical Co pg 658
John Wilson, farmer and stock raiser, was born June 18, 1806, in Greene County, Tennessee, acquiring his only education in the common schools of that locality. His father, Thomas Wilson, was an extensive farmer and stock raiser and a carpenter by trade. He was born in Botetourt County, Virginia, December 6, 1771. His mother, formerly Margaret Sherrell, was born May 14, 1774, in North Carolina. They were married October 8, 1794, and had nine children, six daughters and three sons, of whom there are but four living, three daughters and one son. They emigrated from Tennessee to Lafayette County, Missouri, in 1830, settling near Lexington, where they remained for five years, then going to Tebo Township of the same county, now Henry. Mr. Wilson entered eighty acres of land and commenced farming, which he continued until his death, May 22, 1836. Mrs. W. survived him but eighteen months, departing this life in October of 1839. The subject of this sketch was the only administrator of the estate and bought the farm in 1839, of which he held possession until 1866, when he sold it, being settled upon land he had purchased in the years of 1839, 1840, 1842 and 1843, consisting of 700 acres, lying north of the old place. He married Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel and Susan Jennings, of Lafayette County, and to them were born eight children, four sons and four daughters. The eldest, William T., born December 28, 1833, married Mrs. Eleanor, widow of Samuel Reynolds and daughter of William M. Fewell, of Henry County, March 17, 1867. Thomas J. was born April 19, 1835, and married Miss Mary E. Gilliland, of Bates County, in March of 1860. Harriette Ann was born August 22, 1838, and married Thomas J. Jennings, of Livingston County, Missouri, November 14, 1882. John W. was born December 5, 1847, and married Miss Nancy Woolfolk, of Henry County, Missouri January 22, 1871. Lon was born October 16, 1843. Mary E., born October 4, 1848, married T. J. Bosley, of Bates County, February 18, 1879. Martha Jennie was born July 4, 1854. Charles E. was born November 9, 1857. Mrs. W. died May 28, 1872. Mr. Wilson has resided upon his present farm ever since 1833, except for two years, when in California. In 1850 he took the overland route and went to California, making a stay there of two years, with a result of success. He returned via New York in 1852, and then engaged in farming and in the general raising of stock. He was given a lieutenant's commission in 1832 by Governor Boggs. He erected his present residence in 1849. He belongs to Lodge No. 29, A. F. & A. M., his membership dating from 1863. He has for nearly fifty years been identified with the M. E. Church South. of which his wife was also a member for many years. Five of his children also hold that relationship. Democratic in his views, he cast his first vote for Jackson in 1832 with nineteen other Democrats, two men voting for John Q. Adams at that election, making a vote of twenty-two in the county of Lafayette. His sons now conduct the farm. They are capable men and excellent managers of the place.
