  Sarah and Isaac were the parents of at least two sons, both of whom were alive in June 1872 when they received a distributive share of their grandfather James McConnell's estate. However only one, John W. Wilson, was named. Beneath his name was entered an equal share ($5) for "his brother."7 
15 Apr 1887  John "M" Wilson also received a distributive share of Barbara McConnell's estate [his grandmother]. Although no amount is entered for John's brother, the amount John received was only half of that paid to the other heirs, suggesting John's brother was also still living.8
