- !NOTES:I don't know if I'm related to this family or not but I am interested in them.
I've researched all Wilsons in the region to some extent in the attempt to discover the family of my ancestor Mrs. David Carpenter. She is a presumed Miss Wilson born ca 1810/15 in Burke Co., NC, died ca 1839 in Yancey Co., NC or in Ashe (now Watauga) Co., NC. My area of interest mainly includes Burke, Yancey, Mitchell, Avery and Watauga Counties, and some of their parent counties such as Buncombe and Ashe.
I am not yet 100% certain Mrs. David Carpenter was a Wilson, but they did name their second son "Wilson Carpenter" so that strongly suggests Wilson ancestry. They were associated with Wilsons as well;

!NOTES:Robert's sons William and Robert (Jr) lived in Burke, and Robert's widow Isabella did also after 1830, but I don't know if Robert Sr ever lived in Burke;

Same grouping with Zachias Wilson, Isaac Wilson, William Wilson, Joseph Wilson and James Wilson.
p. 384 Robert Wilson 1-2-2-0-0
Same grouping with William Wilson Esq, John Wilson, Widow Wilson
* page 384 Robert fits best as sons William and Robert (Jr) would be under 16 then.

!CENSUS:1820 Mecklenburg Co., NC p. 195
Robert Wilson age 45+ (bef 1775)
000001-00001-0-0
* I include him as a possibility because he is only 13 houses from Levi Fincher who married Mary Wilson, likely daughter of Isabella, and is next door to Joseph Purviance who married Nancy Wilson Thompson, also a presumed daughter;
!CENSUS:1830 x
!COURT:A Jan 1838 Petition names the heirs of Robert Wilson Sr, deceased, as Robert, William and Mary Wilson Fincher.
Another 1838 petition shows that widow Nancy Purviance (d 1830) heirs were Robert, William and Mary Fincher, thus she is also a child of Robert Sr.
