- Deed Bk. 6, pg 242 Dated 18 Oct 1774
Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) and his 2nd wife, Frances (?) of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina sold 150 acres to George Calhoun (son-in-law) the Land was located on South side of Sugar Creek, adjoining Robert Wilson’s land. Signed: Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) and Frances (her mark) his wife. Witnesses: Robert Irwin and David Weeks.
This is one of the last deeds believed by Captain Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) after his marriage to Frances Russell (Rodgers) in ca.1774 prior to leaving Mecklenburg County for his new land granted him (some 900 acres) in the Western district of the middle North Carolina Sumner County. (Now Tennessee) There are several other land transactions by Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) before he left Mecklenburg County ca.1783. Refer to papers in Archives Sumner County, Tennessee for he is of record there in 1784 along with his brother Major David Wilson, both having come into Western District of now middle Tennessee in 1784 to claim said grants.
Deed Bk. 15, pg 369
Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) of the State of Georgia, County of Olgethorpe, Executor of Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) (Deceased) sold 70 acres on Sugar Creek, bordering Robert Wilson, Isaac Wilson and former land of Benjamin Thomas. Signed; Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) Witnesses: Aaron Wilson and John Osborn. Proved in April 1797 Court Session.
Obviously this is his son Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) now disposing of land his legatee from his fathers’ left him before leaving Mecklenburg for middle Tennessee as seen in will who died in June 3, 1796, or/ at least his Will was proven on that date has helped add to the confusion over his death and where ….. due to all they knew as Olgethorpe County, Georgia. However the death reads was in Olgethorpe county on Indian land as opposed to US or/ State owned.
Probate record: Olgethorpe county, January 1808

Olgethorpe County, Georgia
Loose Probate Papers Annual Return 1795-1805
Now from the above transcribed Will and documents of this David Russell (Sr.) you can see the reference to his daughter, Mary Russell by her father when he writes his will …… Although there are several others ties to these Wilsons’ as seen by other documents herein, as well as his grandson William Wilson, the son of Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) his son-in-law who he named in his Will, in other words his own grandson the property on which other Wilsons’ owned.
The references made by David Russell in his Will filed in Mar. 1797, concerning William Wilson, the son of Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) or/his grandson who had purchased 187 acres from David Russell was in fact his own grandson or/son of Mary Russell Wilson & Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.), and not that of the Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) as I, and others had first though to this Will, therefore now can be seen as one of the Executors to that document March 27, 1802, in Mecklenburg County. This is Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) who then loses his wife Mary Russell Wilson, within a year of her father’s death or/1803. For when Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) returned to Sumner County in ca.1804/05 he then married Nancy Long (White), the widow of John White (Jr.), in probably Bedford County, but is seen the 1800 census records, in which he was & his wife Mary Russell Wilson along with their son David Wilson born 1780, 10-16 years of age, and then plays a role & converse as the one who married Jinny (Jean) Carothers May 9, 1804 for this families history.
