Does anyone know if Sara Muse Carter Wilson was somehow descended from
the Wilson of Captain Wilson's militia company? I would like
information on Captain Wilson, if any is available. In the Peake book
(Maryland Catholic Peakes, by Rbt. Zwicker, and John Steward, available
at their site), it says that Robert Peak, probably a son of William and
Barbara (Carter) Peake, first appears in the Nelson County tax records
in 1787, listed along with John Peak and William Peake in Captain
Wilson's militia company. He married Elizabeth Clark in Nelson County,
on July 13, 1790, with Thomas Elliot as surety. If anyone can confirm
this. Cyrus Peak's work puts their wedding date at May 13, 1791 and
places it in Bardstown, Nelson County, KY. No sources are listed for
the date in either works.
Later in this line, the marriage of Jim Beam's sister Susan to a
Wilson, in Missouri takes place. Little is known of this connection, by
me, either.
