Biographical History
Minister of the First Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati.
Minister.
Joshua Lacy Wilson, a native of Virginia, moved with his family to Kentucky in 1781. After studying in Pisgah, Ky. in Mercer County and in Louisville, Wilson was licensed as a Presbyterian minister in 1802. He served first at churches in Big Spring and Bardstown, but moved in 1808 to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he served as pastor at the First Presbyterian Church of Cincinnati until his death in 1846. Wilson was often the center of controversy as he was active in promoting the beliefs of the old school of Presbyterian theology. While in Cincinnati, Wilson assisted in the founding of Cincinnati College, where he taught moral philosophy and logic for several years. From 1828 to 1830, he served as the first chairperson of the Lane Theological Seminary Board of Trustees. In 1801, Wilson married Sarah B. Mackay. They had eight children, one of whom was Samuel Ramsey Wilson, a noted Presbyterian minister.
