Wilson Line
The Wilsons and Fierces were neighbors on Goose Creek. Ebenezer Wilson
and son John leased land there. Ebenezer and Hannah Wilson had six known children: John, Thomas, Elizabeth, Ann, Hannah and Jane. Elizabeth married Conrod Furst, Thomas married Sarah Furst and June married Cline
Furst. No further record of Jane and Cline after the entry of the license at the Leesburg Courthouse. After the death of Ebenezer and at
about the time of the move of the Fierces, the Wilsons moved to Athens County, Ohio. Thomas and Sarah remained and died there. Elizabeth and Conrod went on to Hamilton County, Ind. and both died there. The early Wilsons were farmers. In religion they were Methodist and in politics, Repblican. There is no earlier record found than the lease of land in
Loudoun Co., Virginia . They were either of English or Irish extraction.

Wilson Fierce, born Athens County, Ohio, August 24, 1824, died January 7, 1905, Cambridge Township, Henry County, Illinois, having moved to Knox County 1831. Wilson Fierce and father, Conrod Fierce, moved to Hamilton
County, Illinois where Wilson went to school and later learned the blacksmith trade which he followed for several years. July 16, 1846 he was united in marriage with Rebecca Grubs, who survived but a short time. Charlotte Gibbs, second wife, born and died Cambridge, Illinois, August 3, 1871. Eleven children born to this union.
____________________
Wilson Fierce like his father, Conrod, was a blacksmith and a farmer.
He did not stay in Hamilton Co. but went into Illinois settling in Knox
County where he remained until his death. A sketch, the facts given by
himself, may be seen in a History of Knox County, Illinois.
