Answer 2

It is unlikely that he was related in any way to Woodrow Wilson. Benjamin was born in Arkansas in 1814; his father in Vermont in 1772 per their profiles. Pres. Wilson's grandfather, James and his mother immigrated from Ireland in the  1790s. This appears to be the earliest Wilson in the president's line in the US. James married Ann Adams in the early 1800s, and had 10 children born between 1809 and 1824, including, of course, the president's father, Joseph, born in 1822. Wilson chart.  Since the first in the line did not arrive in the US until well after Benjamin's father was born in 1772, one must conclude that there is no relation.
