♥♥♥ Fourth Great Grandfather ♥♥♥
Samuel Wilson (deceased), pioneer citizen, Batavia, Kane County, Ill, was born in Vermont, March 1, 1805, son of Samuel Wilson, who was of New England ancestry, grew to manhood on a farm and became one of the early farmers in Kane County, having established his home at Nelson's Grove when the first settlement was made there. Later he removed to Batavia, where he became one of the first manufacturers, establishing the manufacture of fanning-mills and agricultural implements for which that city has since become famous. When gold was discovered in California, his attention was attracted to the demand for cattle and horses on the Pacific Coast, and he made two trips overland in that region, taking live-stock to market at that point. He returned each time by way of the Isthmus of Panama, thence by sea to New York and by rail to Batavia. Mr. Wilson was also engaged in gold-mining in California for several years prior to his death, which occurred at Batavia March 9, 1855. He married Lydia Shaw, who died in Batavia June 28, 1885.(History of Kane County)
Samuel Wilson married Lydia Shaw on March 15, 1827. They are the parents of four children:
Delia Wilson Trumbull Booth
Lydia Ann Wilson Wisner
Ira Chrispas Wilson
Mary E. Wilson Newton
