Notes for Mary Carter
In the affidavit given by William Owen Lucas surgeon he stated that his mother and Mary were sisters and that their maiden name was Carter. (see the Notes to the marriage of JGW and Mary, née Carter, Perkins).
Notes for John George Wilson & Mary (Family)
I have not found any record of their marriage. Nor did their children’s lawyers when they were trying to sort out the heirs’ to their only brother’s estate. Eventually the surviving children and one or two acquaintances of their parents signed affidavits to the fact that they believed their parents to have been married, around 1779 and that they thought their mother’s maiden name was Carter and that their father’s full name was John ... Perkins.
So be it, for the moment.
