Biography
Wilson was born in 1812 in Banff, Scotland as the third son of the shipowner John Wilson and his wife, Barbara Gray. He was the maternal grandson of Alexander Gray and his wife, Jean Bean.
In an extremely rare coincidence, he was born on 29 February (making him a leapling) and died on the same date at the age of 68.
