I am trying to obtain information about James and Susannah Wilson who lived
in Sussex New Jersey in the 1790's. They had children born in Sussex County
New Jersey - James Wilson b April 1, 1794, and Estill Wilson b October 20
1796. Any information about these folks will be sincerely appreciated.

William Wilson Bilhorn
