Excerpt from the Story of the Wilson family, ancestry.com
In Tinicum, Bucks County. Pa. about the year 1760, David Wilson, son of Ralph Wilson, married Ann
Morrison. Four children were born to them: one daughter (Mary) married Andrew Dunlap. From this time,
and for a number of years, the interests of the families of Wilson and Dunlap were to a great extent
identical. During the revolutionary war, Andrew Dunlap was in the service as a teamster. Joseph Wilson,
son of David at the time of the war, then a young lad, was at times engaged as a helper in the
blacksmith shop of his uncle Francis. When Sullivan's army was sent out to subdue the Indians,
assisted in shoeing the horses in that campaign. Upon the return of the soldiers of Sullivan's Army to
their homes, they gave a glowing description of the country through which they had passed that the
families of Wilson and Dunlap became much interested and determined to see some of the country for
themselves. Accordingly, in the spring of the year 1789, Joseph Wilson, Andrew Dunlap, Robin Dunlap,
William Dunlap, George Dunlap, Hugh Jimison and William Roberts left their homes in Bucks County,
PA., and followed up the Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers until they came to what is now Elmira (NY).
Here they made their course to the head of Seneca Lake. They prospected quite extensively between
Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. They went around Seneca Lake by way of what is now Geneva. At that time
Geneva was inhabited by only one white person who was trading with the Indians. They found no trace
of any white settlement between Geneva and Watkins on the west side of Seneca Lake. Then they
followed mainly the trail of General Sullivan's Army on the east side of the lake until they arrived in the
vicinity of Lodi Landing, as it is now called. Here, it is said, the seven men lodged comfortably in the
hollow of a buttonwood tree, and here, it is also said, the first sucker fishing was done by the party and
that too, in a very primitive way, merely stepping into the creek and throwing out the fish with their hands.
In this vicinity the party determined to locate, and soon after erected a log cabin near the southwest
corner of Military Lot No. 8, in the town of Ovid. The cabin was joint property and was the home and for
protection of the whole party. They all settled near this place or within a few miles. Andrew Dunlap
chose Lot No. 4 and Joseph Wilson the south half of Lot No. 17 and inscribed his initials and date on a
beech tree, May 12, 1789. The other members of the party located within a few miles of their cabin
home. The party remained during the summer, making all improvements possible, clearing the land and
sowing winter wheat, the seed for which some of them were obliged to go some distance down the
Sesquehanna River to obtain. The next winter all of the party, except William Dunlap, returned to Bucks
County, PA for a new lot of supplies. In the following spring, the six returned to their chosen homes.
