Hi Wilson descendants,
My William WILSON comes from Scotland (maybe) and died aft 1794. He married Esther (--?--) and they had James WILSON, my 4th great grandfather, who was born 7 Feb 1781 in Leeds and died 29 Jun 1865 in Peru, Clinton, NY, USA. James married Elizabeth BURROW, born 14 Nov 1787 in Roundhay, Yorks, died 19 Apr 1825 in Peru, NY, USA. They had eight children, the second of whom is my 3rd great grandmother, Sarah WILSON, born 22 Jan 1811 in Leeds, died 21 Nov 1874 in Plattsburgh, Clinton, NY, USA. Sarah married 1828/29 in (Peru), Clinton Co., NY, Lyman BRIDGES.
I would love to hear from anyone who is related to these folks. I have lots of info on them.

Hairdresser can also refer to the person 'dressing' horse hair for use in
furniture making.
