Samuel Wilson

Samuel Wilson (sometimes shown as Willson) was a trader in Albany during the 1670s.

In 1679, his name appeared on a list of Albany householders. He owned a house and lot on Pearl Street and one on Market Street.

In 1682, he sold his house and lot to Pierre De Garmo.

After that, Samuel Wilson appears to have left Albany. Perhaps he returned to New York.
