George Nixon III, my first cousin fourth removed was born in 1821 in Washington County, Pennsylvania. George died at the battle in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in July 1863, he was 42. On January 10, 1843 when George was 22, he married Margaret Ann Trimmer, born in 1826, in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
They had one child:
Samuel Brady (1847-1914)
William Frederick Wilson Sr. was my great great Grandfather. Born on March 9, 1817, William Frederick died on February 27, 1886, when he was 68. Resided in Lower Uwchlan Township, Chester Co., Pa. Occupation: He was a Farmer and Auctioneer residing in Lower Uwchlan Township, Chester County, Pa. Later he also became the proprietor of the Brandywine Hotel above Coatesville, Pa. William Frederick married Esther Helen Bicking, daughter of Frederick Bicking (manager of his father's paper mill) and Julie Anne Fisher. Born on May 15, 1823, Esther Helen died on 31 January 31, 1862, she was 38. (She was to give her name to my Grand Aunt Helen and my Grandmother Esther. Helen was fated to also died young. Esther lived into her late eighties.)
Vol 2 -- Wilson of the Chester and Delaware Counties Family Histories states that William Sr. married Amanda Bickens. He married Esther Helen Bicking. This article has several such misspellings on name. It Refers to B. F. Merrills as William Sr.'s son-in-law. This was actually B. F. Meredith. Is it possible that Esther had a sister Amanda, that the author confused her with here? (LEM)
They had the following children:
Adelia, born in 1843 she died about 1900. Adelia married Lewis Hutton.
Charles was born in 1845 and died about 1910. He resided in York, Pa. and was a resident proprietor of a restaurant there. Charles married Sallie Nord, who resided in Coatesville, Pa. prior to marriage.
