 __NOTOC__
-Jesse Wilson appears in the 1850 census of Butler Co. PA in the James Wilson household, listed as the first son. Then he disappears from Butler County census records.  He is not mentioned in the 1895 History of Butler County as a child of James Wilson, but possibly because he left the county at an early age and was lost to memory, or because of a simple error of recording.   The History does say that James Wilson, after a brief time in Connoquenessing Twp., Butler Co. PA, moved on to Portsmouth, OH (Scioto Co.) where he died.   Jesse Wilson and wife Anna appear in the Scioto Co. OH census beginning in 1860.  The gravestones of Jesse & Ruth Anna Wilson are in the Greenlawn Cemetery, Portsmouth OH, and the ancestry of Ruth Anna Muelheison is found outlined on Ancestry.com trees. Her father used the Anglicized form of the surname, Milliron.  We expect this also to be the family of [[Hiram Milhausen]] who married Jesse Wilson's sister, [[Martha Jane Wilson]].<br>Jesse and Anna may have had one son, Samuel, or may have raised him as their step-son.  The 1900 census states that Anna was the mother of 1 child, still living.  The 1860 census shows Anna & Jesse living with a 13 year old Samuel (so born ~1847) and an unknown Margery Wilson age 36.  Samuel is listed before Margery, so presumably is the son of Jesse & Anna rather than of Margery.  However, the 1900 census indicates that Jesse & Anna had been married for 40 years (i.e. married about 1860, 13 years after the birth of Samuel).  This census record may be in error, but Samuel may also be an adopted child.  If Jesse and Anna had been married for 13 years with no children, it is reasonable that they could have then taken in a child.  It does appear from the presence of Margery Wilson in their home in 1860 that there were Wilson kin in the area.  Margery is not known to be a sibling of Jesse, but that is one possibility.  Another is that she was a cousin, and that Jesse & his father James followed a brother of James into the Scioto County Ohio area.
