Clans Tartans History Travel ... Feedback Significant Scots Alexander Wilson Ornithology, though it has swallowed up all the little I had saved, has procured me the honour of many friends, eminent in this country, and the esteem of the public at large; for which I have to thank the goodness of a kind father, whose attention to my education in early life, as well as the books then put into my hands, first gave my mind a bias towards relishing the paths of literature, and the charms and magnificence of nature. These, it is true, particularly the latter, have made me a wanderer in life; but they have also enabled me to support an honest and respectable situation in the world, and have been the sources of almost all my enjoyments." Wilson’s father soon married again; and three years passed away, during which time Alexander seems to have had no other occupation, but reading and roaming about, feeding in solitude habits of reflection, and an ardent poetic temperament, which led him to shun the society of his frolicksome compeers. An American biographer erroneously attributed this disposition for solitary rambling, and his ultimate departure from the paternal dwelling, to the harsh treatment of his stepmother; but it has been clearly proved by subsequent writers, that she discharged her duty towards him with great tenderness and affection; and Wilson himself uniformly speaks of her with great respect.

ALEXANDER WILSON'S AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGY Alexander Wilson, 1766-1813 Audubon's immediate precursor in American bird illustration was the Scots immigrant, Alexander Wilson. Wilson had spent his early working years as a weaver and peddler in Paisley, Scotland, while nursing the hope of poetic recognition. In the charged political atmosphere of 1790's Scotland, he was imprisoned for nearly two years for writing a sharp political satire, and in 1794 he emigrated to Pennsylvania, supporting himself as a schoolmaster. There, in the library of a neighbour, the American naturalist William Bartram, Wilson discovered the limitations of earlier books on American ornithology, and planned his major work. Wilson as Poet Burns, Robert, 1759-1796; Wilson, Alexander, 1766-1813; Ramsay, Allan, 1686-1758. Four funny tales: Alloway Kirk or Tam O'Shanter, Watty and Meg or The wife reformed, The loss of the pack, and The monk and the miller's wife. Like his better-known contemporary Robert Burns, Wilson had first come to public attention as a poet, with a locally-published collection, Poems (Paisley, 1790, also in the Roy Collection). This rare chapbook (not listed in Burns bibliographies or in the standard Harvard Chapbook Catalogue) reprints Wilson alongside Burns and Burns's major 18th century predecessor Allan Ramsay.

They had a ranch called Blue Springs Ranch, Smokey Valley, Nevada. Alexander died on Feb. 27th 1875. Alexander was a member of Hall of Lander Lodge No. 8 which was a Masons lodge. They married in Austin Nevada on April 28th 1868. Elizabeth was our great great grandmother and this was a second marriage after the death of her husband Peter several years before. She had a daughter whose name was Emma M Campbell and she married Tallmadge Norwood we think in Nevada. Any information on any of these people would help. We assume Alexander Wilson was an upstanding member of society since he was a member of the masons and we assume some record of his life exists because of this.

The Wilson family also owned property in Elkton, Maryland, and it is possible that Wilson grew up in Maryland. As a successful businessman in New Castle County, Delaware, Wilson was involved in county government. From evidence in the collection, Wilson was a Trustee of the Poor (1877), Secretary of School District 54, New Castle County (1875), and a commissioner of the New Castle County Levy Court. The bulk of this collection contains correspondence and documents related to the conduct of Alexander Wilson's manufacturing business. The correspondence concerns customer inquiries about the equipment that Wilson manufactured and responses to Wilson's own inquiries and orders from other manufacturers and retailers of parts and supplies. Most letters are very brief: acknowledging orders, requesting clarification of orders, and stating transportation arrangements with railroad companies, especially the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad, whose tracks lay not far from Wilson's plant.

His father was the Reverend James Kinnier Wilson, a native of Ireland and a Presbyterian priest who died when Samuel was but one year of age. The family then moved back to their home in Edinburgh. He was educated at George Watson's College, Edinburgh, where his exceptional language skill earned him several prizes for Greek and Latin. He subsequently paid his way through his medical studies at the University of Edinburgh by teaching these disciplines. After graduating M.B. from the University of Edinburgh in 1902 Wilson became house physician at the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary with Sir Byrom Bramwell (1847-1931), and it was here he gained his lifelong interest in neurology. In 1903 he gained his B.sc. in physiology with honours, and that year went to Paris to work with Pierre Marie (1853-1940), before working for one year with Joseph Babinski (1857-1932) at the Bicêtre. After a short visit to Leipzig he returned to London, where in 1904 he came to the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, Queen Square. Commencing as a house physician, he became registrar and pathologist, and up to honorary physician. Here he spent most of his professional life, with a group of neurologists that included Sir William Richard Gowers (1845-1915), John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911), Henry Charlton Bastian (1837-1915) and Sir Victor Alexander Haden Horsley (1857-1916).

Sponsored By: PHMC Active Members Contribute! Commission History of Pennsylvania Happy Birthday! ... Environment Alexander Wilson Alexander Wilson was born on July 6, 1766, the son of a weaver. He was a Scottish immigrant, intense and poetic, taught school at Kingsessing, Pennsylvania. Inevitably, Wilson and the very different Bartram met on common ground the Botanic Garden . There he came under the gentle tutelage of the elder Bartram. Wilson's enthusiasm was high, but a lack of ornithological knowledge and training combined with meager artistic abilities left him unformed and undirected until he became John Bartram's "student." Under the patriarch's guidance, Wilson learned to draw, to describe and identify difficult birds, and to understand the scientific literature in the Bartram library. With John Bartram's encouragement, Wilson conceived his grand design to write his American Ornithology Alexander Wilson's journeys in search of birds were many and long, and he traveled well beyond the borders of Pennsylvania. But his base was in Philadelphia: the riches in nearby bird life and the hospitality and resources offered by Bartram and America's then prime metropolis made this area a fruitful source of many of Wilson's bird accounts.

[December 1878] Alexander Wilson Father of American Ornithology Gallery Page of Birds Alexander Wilson was born at Paisley, Scotland in 1766. He was the son of a poor distiller. His mother died when he was ten. Wilson left school when he was twelve or thirteen years old to live with his older sister and her husband, William Duncan, who was a weaver. While living with them he learned how to weave. As a young man he tried his hand at writing and engaged in politics. During a political feud between the weavers and the capitalists of Paisley, Wilson wrote a scathing satire about one of the prominent capitalists and his unfair treatment to weavers. This resulted with Wilson being sentenced to a short prison term and ordered to burn the document in front of the townsmen. Click to view a larger image Alexander Wilson Statue in Paisley, Scotland

Visit our ordering page to read about our guarantee , and for information on sales tax shipping , and forms of payment On this page we are offering some folio prints (hand-colored copper plate engravings) from an early edition of Wilson's American Ornithology; or, The Natural History of the Birds of the United States . We also have four types of prints (colored and plain copper-plate engravings and colored and plain stone lithographs) from the Porter and Coates 1871 folio edition (the "Philadelphia Edition"). This later edition combined Wilson's original work with the supplement issued from 1825 to 1833 by Charles Lucien Bonaparte. First published by Alexander Wilson in parts from 1808 to 1814, American Ornithology was the first ornithology including colored plates to be published in the United States. It was also the first work with any degree of scientific rigor to be published on the subject of American birds. Elliot Coues, a prominent ornithologist and historian of the late nineteenth century, wrote, "Science would lose little, but, on the contrary, would gain much, if every scrap of pre-Wilsonian writing about United States birds could be annihilated."
