Nathaniel Wilson was probably born around 1800 in Ireland. He eventually immigrated to America and settled in Steubenville, Ohio. He worked as a farmer, and by 1850, he owned $7,000 of real estate. He lived with his sister Nancy. Their brother John died in 1851, and they helped raise John’s four children. He died in early 1878.
