Some of this is Wolfe's History of Sullivan Co., IN & some of it is my added
notes.

Peter Wilson during his youth left his native state of Virginia
[Hampshire/Hardy Co., area], crossing the mountain barrier into Tennessee
[Greene Co.], where he lived long enough to marry and start a family, and in
1828 came to Sullivan County [Indiana] with his brothers, John [b:ca 1788
TN], Adam [b:ca 1884 VA] and George [b:ca TN]. [Some of the Welty family
from Greene Co., TN, also came to Sullivan Co., IN]. Peter Wilson was the
son of a Revolutionary soldier [John Wilson, b:ca 1761--Peter's mother was
Sussanah Kautzman--Sussanah's father was Henry Kautzman], himself served in
the war of 1812, and members of the family have served in every important
war of the nation. The Wilson's are still well represented in the
citizenship of this county [Sullivan Co., IN]. I am researching the John
Wilson-John Wilson line. My Wilson line married into the John Welty line in
Greene Co., TN


Thanks, Donna
