History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 800. [Nicholas County] [Upper Blue Licks Precinct] DAVID WILSON, farmer, P. O. Davidson; born near Lexington, Ky., Nov. 19, 1790. His father, Jeremiah Wilson, and his mother, Katie Cooper, were both from the State of New Jersey. They were among the first to brave the dangers of the Western wilderness, taking their share of the hardships common to the early pioneers of this land of cane. David Wilson was reared on a farm. He suffered in his youth an attack of the white swelling, which made him a cripple for life. His education, like that of most of his contemporaries, was of a very limited character. He married, in Bourbon County, in 1815, Sarah, daughter of William and Cassander (Tippet) Newman; has eight living children: William, Matilda, Abbie, Ephraim, Sophia, Joseph, David and Kitty Ann. Mr. Wilson is now the oldest man in this precinct, and has for many years filled the eldership of Mt. Zion Christian Church. His political suffrage is exercised in behalf of the Democratic party.
