The parentage and English origin of Hannah James in unknown.  After the death of John Wilson, she married Thomas Fuller of Salem in about 1688.

Information about the Wilson family was obtained from:

*  Ken Stevens, Wilsons From New England, Volume "J" - Descendants of John Wilson of Woburn, Massachusetts (Walpole, N.H., K. Stevens, 1991).

I have done no original research on the immigrant Wilson  family or the James family.
