History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 690. [Harrison County] [Cynthiana City and Precinct] JOHN C. WILSON, farmer, P. O. Cynthiana, is the son of Rob't and Sally (Sweeney) Wilson. He was born in Harrison County, one half mile from his present residence in 1810. He spent his earlier days with his parents in receiving a limited common school education, and assisting in tilling the soil of his father's farm. In 1835 he married Miss Corilla Durbin, a native of Harrison County, and the daughter of Daniel and Betsey Durbin. She was born in 1813 and died in 1845. By this union they were blessed with four children, one of whom still living, viz: N. B. Wilson. In 1850 he married a second time to Miss Jane Trimble, a native of Harrison County and daughter of John Trimble. She was born in the year 1800 and died in 1854. In 1807 he married his third wife, Mary L. Hamilton, the daughter of Samuel and Mary Veach. Mr. Wilson has followed the occupation of farming during his life, and is now the owner of 350 acres of choice land called "Cedar Avenue." He is an enterprising citizen of his native county and bears a name and reputation which is beyond reproach; now in the later years of his life he is surrounded with those comforts and enjoying those pleasures that are ever the result of honesty, industry and economy. He and his wife are members of the Christian church at Indian Creek and in politics he is united with the Democratic party.
