   WILLIAM HENRY WILSON. One of the active representatives of an old and well
known family of South Georgia, William Henry Wilson, is a son of Jeremiah
Wilson, Jr., and grandson of Jeremiah Wilson, Sr., the latter having made his
name and work impressive among the old settlers of this part of the state as the
man who made many of the first surveys in Thomas and Lowndes counties,
especially in that part of Lowndes now included in Brooks county. The history of
the various members of the Wilson family will be found elsewhere in this work
under the name of Joseph D. Wilson.

   William H. Wilson was born on the old home farm in this vicinity, July 10,
1859, and was reared and educated in Brooks county and lived at the parental
home until his marriage. He began his independent career as a farmer on a small
place bordering Mule creek in the Dry Lake district, but six years later bought
the farm which he still owns and occupies, located four miles southeast of
Boston in the Boston district of Thomas county. Here he owns 250 acres, with
improvements, and for a number of years has carried on a prosperous business of
general farming and stock raising.

   Mr. Wilson was married at the age of twenty-four to Miss Hattie Julia
Stanaland, a member of an old and well known family, the history of which will
be found elsewhere in the sketch of J. 0. Stanaland. Mr. Wilson and wife are the
parents of six children, named as follows: James Stanaland, Nellie M., Henry
Grady, Martha (died aged fifteen years), Joseph J., and Robert Lee. James S.
married Katie Owen, and they have two children, Janette and Jewel. Mr. and Mrs.
Wilson are members of the Primitive Baptist church.
