A RootsWeb WorldConnect family states that in History of Hawkins Family by Elizabeth Hawkins Shultz there is a transcript of a Wilson Bible. There are exact dates for births, deaths, etc. for Leonidas, Dorothea, and the children. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a book of that name by such an author - perhaps it was a manuscript published privately.
