John Wilson, Jr. was born about 1651 in England. Per "History of the Town of Bedford, Massachusetts, from its Earliest Settlement to the Year of Our Lord 1891", published 1891 by Abram English Brown, John Wilson was the son of John Wilson. He died in Bedford on 1 February, 1735 at age 84 years.

Lt. John Wilson, of Billerica and Rebekah Wilson, 25 March, 1713 Rehoboth.

The Wilson Mill Corn Mill historical site:
The mill on Vine Brook is an historical landmark.
Lt. John Wilson built a corn mill on this site in 1685 which then included 30 acres for grinding "corne" with revolving stones.
This business was later carried on by the Gleason and Blodget families. In 1840, a paper mill was established on the site for manufacturing coarse paper. The paper mill was destroyed by fire, but the foundation of the old mill is still clearly visible at the bridge over Vine Brook.
Old Burlington Road (the precursor to Route 62) was laid out as a direct consequence of the mill.
During the incorporation of Bedford in 1729, there were extensive negotiations with Billerica to decide whether this important industrial resource would become part of Bedford or remain in Billerica.
The mill pond, created by damming Vine Brook, is one of the few open bodies of water in Bedford and supplements an important wildlife habitat corridor along Route 3 which supports a diverse wildlife population.
