1.  JAMES1 WILSON SR. (#299) was born in Henry County, Virginia 16 Oct 1703.  Information from Hazel Henderson states James was born in Henry County, Virginia.  However, Henry County was not formed until much later.  It is therefore possible that he (without moving) could have been born in Prince George County. James died before 21 Jul 1777 in Henry County, Virginia, at approximately 73 years of age.
 He married MARTHA COWARDING in Henry County, Virginia, about 1730.  Although the information supplied by Hazel Henderson shows his marriage as about 1730 in Henry County, Virginia, Henry County was formed much later.  So it is possible he was married (without moving) in either Prince George County or Brunswick County, depending on the actual date of the marriage. (Martha is #300.)
 He made a will in Henry County, Virginia, 1 Apr 1777.  I, James Wilson, Senr., of County of Henry and Parish of Camden being sick and weak.

 James and Martha had at least 4 children, Thomas, Moses, Martha and Ann.  The information on James Wilson, Sr., and his son Mason Wilson was provided by Hazel Henderson.  Hazel Henderson says that Thomas was not the oldest child, but was older than Moses.  However we do not at this time have any information on any other children of James and Martha.
 Note:  Henry County was named for Patrick Henry. It was formed from Pittsylvania in 1776.  Its area is 385 square miles, and the county seat is Martinsville.  According to Pam Wilson, the Virginia Genealogist says Henry County was formed by an Act of 23 October 1776 from the western portion of Pittsylvania County but the first court was not held until 1777.  A portion of Franklin County, which was created in 1785, was originally in Henry County.  Patrick County was created in 1790 entirely from Henry County.
 Pittsylvania County was named in honor of William Pitt, the great English statesman.  It was formed from Halifax in 1766.  Its area is 1,022 square miles, and the county seat is Chatham.
 Halifax County was named for George Montagu Dunk, second Earl of Halifax, who was president of the Board of Trade from 1748 to 1761.  It was formed from Lunenburg in 1752.  Its area is 808 square miles, and the county seat is Halifax.
 Lunenburg County was named for Lunenburg, one of the German possessions of England's Hanoverian kings.  It was formed from Brunswick in 1746.  Its area is 443 square miles, and the county seat is Lunenburg.
 Brunswick County was named for the duchy of Brunswick-Lineburg, one of the German possessions of King George I.  It was formed in 1720 from Prince George but, because of the sparse population, county government was not organized until 1732.  In the latter year Brunswick was enlarged by the addition of parts of Surrey and Isle of Wight.  Its area is 579 square miles, and the county seat is Lawrenceville.
 Prince George County was named for Prince George of Denmark, husband of Queen Anne of England.  It was formed from Charles City in 1702.  Its area is 284 square miles, and the county seat is Prince George.
 Charles City County named for Charles I of England and was one of the eight shires established in 1634.  Its area is 184 square miles, and the county seat is Charles City.
