(Jackson Cognty, Georgia
"Robert Wilson, son of George Wilson, Sr., was the first
boy born within the p esent limits of Jackson County and
the first native citizen to leave it. Like his father
and brothers, he was a giant in size; and being a black-~
smith, the strength in his arm was enormous, He forged
all the iron work that was used in the old jail at Jeff-
erson, In this he was assisted by James Goode, the first
man ever confined within the walls which he had labored t
to make strong, He was afterwards hung for the murder of
his child which a woman required him to put out of the
way before she would marry him, It is all well and much
better that that woman's people were then, and still are,
among the best people in the country,"
