Wilson's time in office began on March 4, 1815, and concluded on March 3, 1819. He missed 16 of the 219 roll call votes taken between December 1815 and March 1819.[2]

Despite Wilson's four-year tenure in the United States Congress, there is very little surviving historical documentation of his life, including the years and places of his birth and death, his burial location, and his activity before and after his time in office.[3]
