P. D. WILSON, M. D., Gatewood, was born in Harrison County, Va., June 
29, 1815, and is a son of Colonel Benjamin Wilson.  He has been married 
three times and is the father of eleven children.  He lived in Posey 
County, Ind., many years, and came to Daviess County in April, 1879, 
locating in Gatewood, where he has a store and is also Postmaster.  His 
father, Colonel Benjamin Wilson, was born Nov. 30, 1747, east of the 
mountains in Virginia, and on reaching manhood, in 1768, removed west of 
the mountains.  In 1773 he removed west of the Laurel Mountains and 
settled in what is now Harrison County, W. Va., which was his home till 
his death, Dec. 2, 1826.  Colonel Wilson represented a large territory 
during our colonial existence.  He commanded the military escort of 
Governor Dunmore in his campaign and treaty with the Indian chief, 
Cornstalk, held where Chillicothe, Ohio, now stands.  He commanded the 
State militia on the northwestern border of Virginia during the 
Revolution, under General Washington.  After the war he was Clerk of the 
Circuit Court, representing the large district west of the mountains 
twenty-eight years.  Although he was a soldier seven years, he nor his 
heirs ever received a pension or a foot of public land for his services. 
 He was twice married, and was the father of twenty-nine children, 
twenty-eight of whom were reared to maturity, and twenty-seven married. 
 There are now two sons and four daughters living, their ages ranging 
from sixty to eighty years.  They are residents of Virginia, Kentucky, 
Ohio and Minnesota.  His grandchildren and great-grandchildren are 
scattered from the Allegheny to the Rocky mountains.
