Another diversion from relatives. William Wilson was elected the first Sheriff of the newly formed Union County, NC. Union was formed from Mecklenburg and Anson Counties in 1842. An article can be found here regarding an organizational meeting in April 1843, and the election of officers.
Sheriff Wilson died during his first term in office. He is buried at Tirzah Presbyterian Church in Waxhaw, Union County, NC.
