WILSON, Franklin, clergyman, born in Baltimore, Maryland, 8 December, 1822. He was graduated at Brown in 1841, studied theology in Newton theological seminary, and was ordained to the Baptist ministry in 1846, but has held no pastorate, and has preached irregularly, on account of physical infirmities. He has served various worthy causes gratuitously, besides giving to them large sums of money. For many years, beginning with 1851, he was the editor of "The True Union," a Baptist weekly paper published in Baltimore, and he has long been a trustee of Columbian university, Washington, D.C. He is the author of a prize essay on "The Duties of Churches to their Pastors," and of several essays and tracts. In 1865 Columbian university conferred on him the degree of D. D.
