Biography

Possible Disputed Parentage

Louis Effingham de Forest, in Moore and allied families : the ancestry of William Henry Moore, page 607, says Robert Wilson was the head of the only Wilson family in Windsor, Connecticut at the time of Richard Weller's marriage, but that Ann could not have been a daughter, and was possibly Robert's sister. ^[1] George E. McCracken makes a credible case for Ann Wilson to be the half-sister of that same Robert Wilson, who died 21 July 1655 at Farmington, Connecticut. ^[2]

Claude W. Barlow, in his TAG article Descendants of Richard Weller of Windsor, Northampton and Deerfield, Vol 34, page 140, credits a Robert Wilson of Farmington with being possibly Ann Wilson's brother. ^[3]

A History of Deerfield, Massachusetts does not give ancestry for Ann Wilson.^[4]
