Subject: [Q-R] Sarah Fell & Thomas Wilson
Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 08:28:33 -0600

I am looking for descendants of, and information about Sarah Fell b. 25 Aug
1745, third wife of Thomas Wilson b. 19 Jan 1731. The "Fell Book" *(see
complete entry below) says they had no children, but there is reason to
believe they had two sons, David (my husband's ggg-grandfather) and John.
Sarah and Thomas were married 14 Apr 1779 and Sarah died just three years
later on 20 Sept 1782.

Sarah was the daughter of John Fell (1712-1762) and Elizabeth Watson
(1717-1812) both of Buckingham twp, Bucks Co. PA. John s/o Joseph Fell and
Elizabeth Doyle.

Thomas was the son of Samuel Wilson (1706-1787) and Rebecca Canby
(1711-1766) also of Buckingham twp. Samuel s/o Stephen Wilson and Sarah
Baker.

Awhile back there was a discussion of siblings marrying siblings. Here is
an example of three Fell siblings marrying three Wilson siblings. Thomas's
sister Rebecca Wilson married Jonathan Fell and their brother John Wilson
married Elizabeth Fell. So there must be lots of Wilson/Fell cousins out
there. I hope someone has information about Sarah Fell.


*Here is the complete entry for Sarah Fell as noted on page 44 of the
"Genealogy of the Fell Family in America Descended from Joseph Fell, Who
Settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 1705: With Some Account of the Family
Remaining in England, &c., Philadelphia: An Association of the Fell Family,
1891"

(40) SARAH FELL[3], John[2], b. 8, 25, 1745, d. 9, 20, 1782, m. 4, 14, 1779,
to THOMAS WILSON, of Middletown Tp., Bucks Co., Pa., b. 1, 19, 1731, d. 7,
23, 1803, son of Samuel Wilson and Rebecca Canby. They resided in
Middletown. No children.
