  • Notes 
    • According to David Woodburn (CIS: 100554,526), John was married to Mary Woodburn and they lived in Ballyagan, Garvagh, N. Ireland. According to Janet Houston Rhein, 3010 Dick Wilson Drive, Sarasota, FL 34240; email: janrhein@worldnet.att.net, John and Mary were the parents of at least three sons (Willaim, James and John) and six daughters (Isabella (who married John Huston), Jane, Martha (who married Hugh Young), Nancy and "E" (who emigrated to America in 1852) and "B"(who in 1852 lived with a family named Laughlin)). If this is correct, then the daughter of Martha Wilson and Hugh Young--Martha Young--married Mary Woodburn's grandnephew, Robert Riley Woodburn, meaning that Robert Riley Woodburn married his second cousin.

      Janet Houston Rhein concludes that Isabella, Martha and Nancy Wilson are the children of Mary Woodburn, born January 11, 1791, married to John Wilson and the brothers of James, Matthew, John and William based on corresponce in her possession and work done by a professional genealogist in Ireland. The genealogist stated "I found that William Huston married Hanna Woodburn in 1809 and John Wilson married Mary Woodburn in 1810. Although there are no addresses I am certain that these are your ancestors". The 1831 census for County Londonderry gives only the name of the head of the household and the number of males and females in the family. The genealogist goes on to say "John Wilson of Ballyagan had possible 4 sons and 9 daughter". Confirmation of this fact is being sought.

      According to information supplied to Janet Houston Rhein by Linda Gilmore, the following tombstone inscription is found at the Desertoghill Parish Burying Ground: "Sacred to the memory of John Wilson late of Ballyagan who died on the 6th August 1851 aged 73? years. His wife Mary died on the 2nd April 1865 aged 74 years. And his daughter-in-law Nancy on the 14the Feby. 1854 aged 33 years. Also his son William who died 10th march 1875 aged 62 years. Also his daughter-in-law Jane who died 3rd? March 1892 aged 65 years. Also his daughter Margt Ann died 27th August 1893 aged 68 years."

      The 1831 Census for County Londonderry lists a John Wilson of Ballyagan wih five males and 10 females, a total of 15 individuals. This database accounts for all five males and nine out of the 10 females.
