    Notes for AARON A. WILSON:
    
    Reference: Marshall County Historical Quarterly, Vol. 10, Fall 1979, No.3, page 63, researched by Donald  C. Jetter. Mr. Jetter researched the deeds which showed how the land belonging to Aaron A. Wilson was divided and the subsequent sales of the lots by his heirs.
    
    Aaron A. Wilson of Mecklenburg County, NC purchased 800 acres from Samuel Patterson 18 Jul 1798  for 250 Spanish Milled Dollars. (Bedford Co. B-260).  It appears that  Aaron had no wife or children and may have never married.  When he died about 1833,  his estate was divided  between his eight brothers, the sons of Robert and Eleanor Wilson.  His remaining land of 442 acres was divided into 8 plots, and lots were drawn to determine their disposition. One brother, John Wilson, was not included in the division, which might indicate he died prior to his brother without heirs.  The lots were drawn as follows:
    
    LOT 1- THOMAS WILSON 39 acres .  Aaron A. Wilson of Williamson County sold the 39 acres to John H. Wilson for $250  in 1834. (Marshall Co. Bk.A-22)  Aaron A. Wilson was perhaps acting as administrator of his father Thomas Wilson's estate and or representative of other heirs. We have not yet obtained a copy of the Thomas and Margaret Wilson estate in Williamson County. The 1820 census of Williamson County, TN indicates there were at least nine children in this family.
    
    LOT 2 - JAMES WILSON 48 acres.  James Wilson sold his lot of 48 acres to his son John H. Wilson in 1834 for $100 (Marshall Co. Bk.A-20).  John H. Wilson later willed it to his son John Henderson Wilson in 1836.
    
    LOT 3 - MOSES WILSON 67 acres.  In 1840, Moses Wilson gave 4 acres to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on which the Pleasant Grove Meeting House was built.  The balance of the 67 acres was sold in his estate settlement in 1850.  Moses Wilson never married and his estate was administered by James M. Wilson, 31 Dec 1852, Marshall Co. Bk. B-95.  Moses Wilson was buried in the Wilson Cemetery, Chapel Hill, Marshall County, TN.  His tombstone reads:  "In Memory of Moses Wilson, born July 1769, died July 18, 1850, a bachelor and 11th son of R. & E. Wilson of N.C".
    
    LOT 4 - ZACCHEUS WILSON 65 acres.  In 1834, Zaccheus Wilson of Williamson Co. TN sold his 65 acres to John H. Wilson for $250 (Marshall Co. Bk.A-21)  John H. Wilson willed the 65 acres to his son Isaac Shook Wilson in 1836.
