Additional Comments:
Abram Wilder (b.14 Jan 1813) married Eliza Parker 15 Feb 1849 (according to New 
Hanover County NC Record of Marriage Licenses 1843-1863).  Stephen H. Morton 
was the second husband of Mary Caroline Wilder (Whitehurst), the daughter of 
Abram, and came with his family about 1871 to the Wilmington area from Onslow 
County.  S. H. Morton went into business with Jesse Wilder.  Abram's son, Jesse 
became a prominent businessman in Wilmington in the turpentine, naval stores 
trade.  Abram, a cooper by trade, worked with his son for a while, the business 
being located on Nutt Street.  

Jesse and his wife, Fannie D.(Ellis) had moved to Brunswick, GA sometime before 
1880, where he was also involved in the turpentine trade. During his father's 
illness, Jesse returned several times to Wilmington.  Fannie Wilder died in 
1882.
