William Wilson was born about 1750 in Ireland of Scottish ancestry. According to family tradition he kidnapped his wife-to-be, Prudence Hamilton, a native of Scotland, and brought her to America. Ttadition also relates that the family spent time in Norfolk and Patrick counties, Virginia, before removing to Stokes County, North Carolina. Only two children of William and Prudence have been identified, although there were likely several others. Their two known sons were John L. Wilson (born 1774 in Virginia) and William Wilson, who married sisters Rebecca and Elizabeth Vaughn, respectively. They were daughters of Joseph and Elizabeth Vaughn, natives of Virginia who also removed to Stokes County, NC.
