Over time this entry will be augmented by more images and details focused on Mitchell Neville and his wife, Sarah Sophia Smith. Thomas & Mary Wilson, parents of Mitchell Neville Wilson, moved from Canada to Macedon, New York, with two of their children, Ann Jennie and Mitchell Neville. Mitchell Neville ran the farm they purchased on what would become Wilson Road, as a fruit farm, eventually shipping his produce via the New York Central Railroad, all over the country.

What follows is a bioprofile of Mitchell Neville Wilson derived from a remarkable website developed by an unknown individual concerning the residents of the Town of Macedon, New York, to which details will be added from time to time as well as bioprofiles of the other family members in this photograph..
