He was previously the judge of the Genesee County Court and a member of the New York State Assembly. He was elected to the 18th United States Congress with the Democratic-Republican Party, supporting the Adams-Clay ticket. He was the first representative voted by New York's 29th congressional district. Wilson built a log cabin on his Batavia land claim. Isaac Wilson's only son Isaac Grant Wilson became a prominent judge in Kane County, earning the elder judge the nickname "Daddy" Wilson. Wilson named the growing settlement Batavia in 1840. A year later he was named the town's first postmaster, and he probably used his house as the post office.〔http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/201535.pdf〕 The two-story house was constructed during Wilson's term as postmaster, in 1843.
