Additional Comments:
Both Jesse Wilder and his brother-in-law, Stephen H. Morton, had served as 
cavalry officers during the Civil War.  After the war, he returned to 
Wilmington, NC and started a lucrative business in turpentine distilling.  His 
brother-in-law, Stephen H. Morton married Jesse's sister, and they moved to the 
area about 1871. Jesse Wilder and S.H. Morton became partners in the business.
