DANIEL WILSON, Graves County, was born December 22, 1807, in Mecklenburgh County, Va., and is the third of nine children born to William and Fannie (Moore), natives respectively of Amelia and Mecklenburgh Counties in the State named. The father was the son of Daniel and Sarah (Gresham) Wilson; the mother, daughter of George and Millie (Owen) Moore.
In 1830 Daniel Wilson came on horseback to Trigg County, Ky., where he passed about two years superintending farm hands; thence he went to Christian County, and was one of the first to raise yellow tobacco in the counties named. In the fall of 1832 he returned to Virginia; in 1834, went to Fayette County, Tenn.; in the spring of 1835 he again came to Christian County, Ky., where he remained until 1846, when he moved to Trigg County and settled on a farm he had purchased in 1835. In 1854 he sold out and came to Graves County, and purchased 240 acres of his present farm. Not withstanding the loss of some ten or twelve negroes by the war, he has since increased it to about 600 acres and improved it with substantial buildings.
October 12, 1840, Mr. Wilson married Nancy C. Richardson of Trigg County, Ky. but a native of Pittsylvania County, Va., and daughter of Henry and Biggie (Waddle) Richardson. By this union Mr. Wilson had born to him eight children: Mary F. (now Green), Cornelia H. (now Stampel), W. M. Marshall, John O., D. B., Calhorine J. (now Wright), and Lula. The family are all members of the Baptist Church — Mr. Wilson for upwards of fifty-one years.
