William Wilson was an American politician who served in the United States House of Representatives from 1815 to 1919, representing the 10th congressional district of Pennsylvania as a Republican in the 14th United States Congress and the 15th United States Congress.[1]

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]
