Most Wanted Ancestor----Sarah Friend Wilson
Sarah Friend ( b.________, d. 1839 ), was wife of Robert Wilson, ( b. 1749, d. 2 Oct. 1824 ), Robert Wilson entered the American Rev. War from Northumberland Co., Pa. and was discharged from military service at Trenton, N. J. Later resided in Franklin Co., Pa., and relocated to Beaver Co., Pa., where he and his family lived in 1818, when he applied for military pension. After the death of Robert Wilson in 1824, Sarah Friend Wilson, applied for and received a widow's pension until her death in 1839. According to pension records, Sarah Friend Wilson married Robert Wilson, after his discharge from military service, in 1781. Questions are, did she know Robert Wilson before the War, while living in Northumberland Co., Pa.; or did she meet Robert during the War, or did she become acquainted with him after he was discharged in Trenton, N.J., or was it after Robert took up residence in Franklin Co., Pa. ? These are the puzzles in trying to establish which branch of the Friend family to which she belongs. Would appreciate any and all help. Many thanks. Dave Seibert.
