	On the other hand... The above links to Hugh Wilson match a ~~(different?)~~ Hugh Wilson, born in 1689, emmigrated to PA, whose father was not Hugh Wilson Sr ([http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/19981178/person/878019840?ssrc= Ancestry]).		On the other hand... The above links to Hugh Wilson match a Hugh Wilson, born in 1689, emmigrated to PA, whose father was not Hugh Wilson Sr, but rather Thomas Wilson (1660-1720) ([http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/19981178/person/878019840?ssrc= Ancestry]). This [http://laugherynichols2.tripod.com/id2.html Wilson family history] agrees, listing Thomas Wilson as the Captain Wilson who was one of the 1st three men to cross the river Boyne in the famous battle.

The biography says that William "fought on the side of 'the Orange' at Boyne, July 1, 1690, and was said to have been in Capt. Hugh Wilson's company, the first Irish officer who crossed the river." This [http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/beaver/bios/wilson-james-s.txt biography] gives the same story:
