JOHN WILSON 

Of Carter County



    John Wilson applied for revolutionary pension while he was living in Carter

County, Tennessee, in 1832. He was born in Amelia County, Virginia, in 1755 or

1756. He moved with his family to the section of North Carolina which later

became Washington and Carter Counties, Tennessee. He resided in Washington

County, then North Carolina, when he enlisted in a North Carolina Company in

November, 1779. His brothers, Joseph and William Wilson, volunteered when he

did. John Wilson lived in that part of Washington County which was subsequently

erected as Carter County and was located there the rest of his life. He married

Elizabeth, widow of John Lindsay, September 2, 1837 or 1838. The widow in

applying for a pension said that she married him the day he died.
