Samuel Wilson
Samuel Wilson (September 13, 1766 – July 31, 1854) was a meat-packer from Troy, New York〔(Samuel "Uncle Sam" Wilson at Find A Grave )〕 whose name is purportedly the source of the personification of the United States known as "Uncle Sam".〔
==Biography and legacy==
Samuel was born in the historic town of Arlington, Massachusetts〔 (known as Menotomy at the time, township of West Cambridge), to parents Edward and Lucy Wilson. Samuel Wilson is a descendant of one of the oldest families of Boston, Massachusetts. Through direct heritance of his grandfather, Robert Wilson, originally from Greenock, Scotland, he was Scottish with a Massachusetts background. As a boy, he moved with his family to Mason, New Hampshire.〔http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=45367〕 In 1789, at the age of 22, Samuel and his older brother Ebeneezer, age 27, relocated, by foot, to Troy, New York. The Wilson brothers were amongst the first pioneer settlers of the community. Troy, New York was attractive to earlier settlers for its proximity to the Hudson River. Samuel and his brother Ebeneezer partnered together and built several successful businesses. Both were employees of the city as well as successful entrepreneurs. Samuel was invested in the community. He was rumored to already have had the nickname Uncle Sam because he was friendly and so well liked.
