"Jesse Wilson Family

Jesse Wilson was born in Delaware on 12 April 1783. He married Lovy, probably in Delaware on August 11, 1803. Lovy's last name could possibly be Waller. However, in the notes of LaVada Rawlings Hill, G. Granddaughter of Jesse and Lovy, she indicates that Lovy's last name was Ray. However, Ray could have been her middle name. No proof either way. Lovy was born about 1785 and died 18 April 1849. The above dates are from the notes of LaVada Rawlings Hill, G. Granddaughter of Jesse and Lovy. Jesse's father could possibly be Isaac Wilson born about 1750 and died before 1826. Isaac had a son Robert, a daughter Margaret another daughter Lavicey and a son Jesse. It is unknown if this son Jesse is the same person that married Lovy. It is believed that Isaac is buried with his son Robert in Clinton or Fugit Township north of Greensburg, Indiana.

After his marriage, Jesse Wilson was probably living in Sussex Co. Delaware. Several of the census records for Jesse Wilson's children indicate that they and their parents were born in Delaware. Also several histories of the family list Jesse and Lovy as coming from Delaware. Of the two Jesse Wilsons listed in the 1810 census for Delaware (both in Sussex Co.), neither family matches the number and sex of the children that Jesse Wilson should have.

A check of the census for Delaware in 1800 lists only three families by the name of Ray living in the state. All three families are in New Castle Co., Delaware. Both a John, page 169 and a John Ray Sr , page 171, have females listed that would be the correct as Lovy. A James Wilson, page 159, Carson Wilson, page 176 and Stephen Wilson, page 204, had males the would be the correct age as Jesse. No reference to an Isaac Wilson was found.

Jesse moved to Kentucky around 1815 and probably lived in Fayette Co. Kentucky until approximately 1825. Listed in the 1820 census for Fayette Co., Ky on page 74 are Jesse Wilson, two Robert Wilsons, one Robert L. Wilson, and a David Wilson all between 26 and 45 years old except for Robert Wilson who is listed as being over 45 with a female over 45 with nine children. It is believed that Robet Wilson, son of Isaac and his brother Jesse where both living in Fayette Co. Ky around 1820. It is also thought that Isaac was living with his son Robert in Kentucky during this period. Later Jesse moved to Scott Co, Indiana and Robert, with his father, moved near Greensburg, Indiana.

Jesse Wilson moved to Scott Co., Indiana from Fayette Co., Ky. about 1825 and lived in this county until his death on February 15, 1846. His wife Lovy died in 1849. Both are probably buried in Scott Co., Indiana, but the location is unknown.

Jesse Wilson had a will in which he appointed his son Robert White Wilson Executor. He gave land in Sec. 22, Twp. 3, Range 7, Scott Co., Indiana to his wife Lovy and after her death the farm to John W. Cornelius his grandson. He gave to his son James H. Wilson the West half of the above quarter sec. He gave an old sorrel horse to son-in-law James Parks. He gave the following $1.00: son Isaac W., son Robert W., son Daniel H., son-in-law William Coons, son-in-law Thomas Rawlings, son-in-law Zachariah Vest an son-in-law Gabriel R. Deal. Witness Ephxamim D. Lux, Christopher Champmen and Nathaniel Dismore, filed 30 June 1845."
