A biosketch of son Samuel, published soon after Samuel's death, includes reports about the family of George Wildasin. [24]:

Samuel Wildasin, deceased, was one of the early and prominent citizens of Wilton Township, Muscatine County. He was born in York County, Pa., Jan. 1, 1815, and was of German descent, his grandfather having emigrated from Germany to this country prior to the Revolutionary War, when only eight years of age. The first place of settlement of the Wildasin family was in York County, Pa., which has been the home of the succeeding generations. George Wildasin, the father of our subject, lived and died in that county. He was the father of seven children who reached maturity, of which number three daughters and two sons are yet living: Jacob M. and John M. are still residents of York County; Mary, widow of Henry Giesler, and Catherine, reside in Wilton, while Harriet, wife of Henry Horn, is living in Poweshiek County, Iowa. …

Research Notes:

1809 The partition of land from a Patent involved Peter Wildeson and wife Anna Marie, George Wildeson, and Jacob Wildeson and wife Catharine. Christian Millheim had been granted some of the land. Based on the names of the wives, Peter was perhaps a son of Samuel and Jacob was his uncle, son of the immigrant Johannes. George was, perhaps, a son of Samuel.
