Life and politics
There are very few records of the life of James Wilson prior to 1820 when he came to public notice with the purchase of
St.Vincent
.
He was returned unopposed as the Tory MP for York in 1826. According to Parliamnetary records, he was quite vocal in the chamber and lobbied well for his constituency and of his resident town of Whitby.
He died in September 1830, leaving his estate to his daughter, Mary. However, he died with many debts and his St Vincent estates were used as a partial repayment.[1]
