Several men of SAME NAME, FAMILY.

MISATTRIBUTED

Children[2]

Robert and Rachel Pritlowe Wilson's Children, all born in Perquimans County, are listed in the Quaker Records.

  • Jacob -b. 7/1/1713 d. 10/30/1713 only lived 3 months
  • Robert b. 1/30/1715 d. 5/15/1716
  • Joseph b. 3/1/1717 - 1789 married Mary Newby
  • Rachel b. 7/19/1719 - 1777 married Timothy Winslow
  • Isaac b. 10/13/1722 -1751 married Elizabeth Perry
  • John b. 12/19/1725 died 4 mo. following
  • Silvanus b. 7/11/1727 - 1785 NC married Rebeccah Pierce

Based on this information it is obvious that this couple cannot be the parents of the brothers Robert, David, and Zacheus who are found in Mecklenburg County, as some have claimed.


In other words, there were indeed bad merges, and this Robert Wilson (died young) died young.

“your” Robert Wilson, I is here, son of John Wilson & Sarah Wilson

Yes, thank you, Erica Howton

Can you review the profile for him at Wikitree?:

Trying to make sure "my" Wilson matches in both places

Ok-- at Wikitree, they need to disconnect Robert and Zacheus and apparently already have disconnected David

Done.
