Esther married William Wilson 9 Dec 1815 in Jefferson Co TN. He was the son of William & Susannah Wilson, born 20 Jan 1798 in Randolph Co NC and died 1 Nov 1841 in Platte, MO. Esther died 24 Jan 1875 in Wilson Co TN [this is wrong - she died in Collin Co, TX] This is the genealogical connection of Paul Fuenning.

Esther is in the 1850 Census in Green Twp, Platte Co MO. She was age 44 [b. 1806 - she may have fudged a bit on her age]. Living with her was Perry age 22, Ellen 18, Martha 14, Levi 16, Levina 11 and Saml. Smith age 7. All the children but Perry had been born in MO, indicating they had gone there betweeen 1828 and 1832. Next door was Simeon H. Wilson, age 32, b. in TN; probably her eldest son since she married in 1815. Simeon had with him, Matilda age 26 b. TN, and Amanda 6, John 3, and Esther 4 months, all b. MO.
There were likely other older children.
