DANIEL WILSON, Graves County, was born December 22, 1807, in Mecklenburgh
[sic] County, Va., and is the third of nine children born to William and
Fannie (Moore), natives respectively of Amelia and Mecklenburgh Counties
in the State named.  The father was the son of Daniel and Sarah (Gresham)
Wilson; the mother, daughter of George and Millie (Owen) Moore.  In 1830
Daniel Wilson came on horseback to Trigg County, Ky., where he passed
about two years superintending farm hands; thence he went to Christian
County, and was one of the first to raise yellow tobacco in the counties
named.  In the fall of 1832 he returned to Virginia; in 1834, went to
Fayette County, Tenn.; in the spring of 1835 he again came to Christian
County, Ky., where he remained until 1846, when he moved to Trigg County
and settled on a farm he had purchased in 1835.  In 1854 he sold out and
came to Graves County, and purchased 240 acres of his present farm.
Notwithstanding the loss of some ten or twelve negroes by the war, he 
has since increased it to about 600 acres and improved it with 
substantial buildings.  October 12, 1840, Mr. Wilson married Nancy C.
Richardson of Trigg County, Ky. but a native of Pittsylvania County, 
Va., and daughter of Henry and Biggie (Waddle) Richardson.  By this union
Mr. Wilson had born to him eight children: Mary F. (now Green), Cornelia
H. (now Stampel), W.M. Marshall, John O., D.B., Calhorine J. (now
Wright) and Lula.  The family are all members of the Baptist Church --
Mr. Wilson for upwards of fifty-one years.
