Just a side note to the many responses, I just wanted to add a little information. I am the great granddaughter to Bill Wilson's half-brother Valentine Allen. In doing research some places list Bill Wilson as being born on 10/2/1829 and others as 10/28/1837. His father Valentine Wilson (born 6/19/1808) died on 9/1/1836. It seems impossible for Bill Wilson to have been born on 10/28/1837 as this is 14 months after his father's death. His mother was Frances Hudgens (12/6/1811-5/11/1879) who is my great great grandmother. (If he was indeed born on 10/2/1829 his older sister was born just over 9 months before on 12/20/1828. He is one of 5 children of this marriage, one died shortly after birth). Sue
