Robert Wilson was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in 1717 to Zaccheus Wilson and
Martha ?. He married Eleanor Carothers, a woman that was at least 10 years his senior, and
they moved to North Carolina where they started their family.
Does anyone have any information of Robert Wilson's mother, Martha, or on Eleanor
Carothers' syblings and parents? Also, does anyone know why they moved to
Pennsylvania?
Lastly, does anyone know how many children they had? Some sources say 9, others say 11,
and others still say 20! In the first source, it is all sons, it is also this way in the
second. In the third, there are 2 or 3 girls.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!
Lauren
