From The History of Winona County Minnesota, compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, Editor in Chief, Assisted by William Jay Whipple, Reviewer of Manuscripts and a Large Corps of Local Contributors, Illustrated, Volume II, Chicago, H.C. Cooper Jr. and Co., 1913 (Copy in Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul), page 909:

James G. Wilson was born in New York state, February 13, 1832, and died in Winona county, June 6, 1907. He came to Winona county in 1854, and settled in New Hartford township. He lived a quiet life, and devoted himself to his farm and his large family. He married Sarah Brown, who was born June 20, 1832, and died in June 1902. In the family there were thirteen children, ten boys and three girls. Eleven of the thirteen lived to adult years, and of these, ten are still living.

From the Winona Republican-Herald, 13 June 1908:

Dakota

Another of the rapidly diminishing members of Winona county pioneers has passed away. James G. Wilson died at his home in Dakota Valley June 7 1908 at the advanced age of seventy-six years, three months and twenty-four days. The deceased was born at Plattsburgh, N.Y., and came to Minnesota in 1854 and opened the farm which he has occupied ever since. He was joined in marriage to Sarah B. Brown a sister of the late Nathan Brown, the pioneer settler in Dakota. The marriage took place in 1852. Of this union were born thirteen children, three of whom are dead. The first Mrs. Brown died quite a number of years ago and on June 6, 1907 Mr. Wilson contracted a second marriage with Emma Einfeldt of La Crosse who survives him. The funeral services were held June 9, conducted by Rev. C. F. Dykeman. Interment was made in the cemetery about a mile and a half west of the village of Dakota, which was laid out as a burial place a number of years ago and is located near the residence of the deceased. It is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the west. Because the house was unable to hold the assembled number of people the services were held in the open air on the cemetery grounds. The grave was decked with garlands of flowers placed there by those who loved him best. Kind friends sang hymns of comfort and Rev. Dykeman pronounced and the people returned to their homes. Seven of the children were present at the funeral. Mr. Wilson possessed a robust and vigorous intellect, but lived rather a retired life, fond of horticulture and gardening, intimately known to but few and esteemed most of his old neighbors and associates, who with him came here in territorial days and labored to make Minnesota and abode of an industrious, intelligent and happy people.

In the Wilson cemetery under the huge boughs of the large oak trees which cover the place, Mr. Dykeman said in part to the large crowd of mourners and freinds, that he thought the service would be more impressive and appropriate right out in the open air, and in God's own temple he read a short sketch of Mr. Wilson's life and religious belief which was a Universalist. He then took up his theme which was to avoid or lessen future punishment; Justice and Truth doing all the good we can, and making all as happy as we can. He said Universalists were scarce and far between, and he believed that he was the only Universalist minister in southern Minnesota. Mr. Dykeman spoke as only Mr. Dykeman can. It has seldom been or privilege to listen to more truth. The choir were Wm. Winter, Mrs. Wolf, and Mrs. Workman.

In 1850 Jonathan Brown's farm in Granville, Washington County, New York, consisted of 100 improved and 25 unimproved acres. The improved acres were valued at $2,700 and the unimproved at $230. The farm had 2 horses, 4 milk cows, 13 other cattle, 4 sheep, and 13 swine. The value of the farm animals was estimated at $450. The farm produced 200 bushels of Indian corn, 100 bushels of oats, 16 lbs. of wool, 600 lbs. Irish potatos, $20 worth of other products, 200 lbs. butter, 30 tons of hay, 20 gallons molasses, and $40 worth of animals slaughtered that year. (1850 Production of Agriculture attached to 1850 census, p. 97-98).

Sold Property:
Said land was part of Jonathan's farm consisting of about thirty acres and was sold to Arnold for $600.

Sold Property:
The sale of this land was an issue in the testimony regarding Jonathan Brown's will in 1852. The plaintiffs raised the question as to how Jonathan Brown could will his land to his son, Charles, when it had already been sold to WIlliam Boyce in 1848.

The counsel for the Executor produced a reconveyance of this land from William Boyce back to Jonathan Brown that was filed on August 1, 1848.
