Daniel Wilson was a carpenter and builder at the Canal Mills, the village now called North Billerica, where he was known as "Boss" Wilson, and for thirty years one of the chief owners of land around the mills. Hazen records that he was living in Bow, New Hampshire, in 1813 and in Tyngsborough in 1816. He had settled at the Canal Mills by 1830, when the census counted ten people in his household. He married Mary Aldrich, and their children were Mary Jane, born in 1813, who married Capt. R. Wilkins and lived in Lawrence; Adaline Maria, born in 1816, who married Gardner Parker; Horace Newell, born in 1820, who married Sybil Spaulding and farmed near the Carlisle line; Daniel Aldrich, born in 1823, who went to California; Israel Nelson, born in 1828; George Sherwin, born in 1831, who died in 1842; Frances A., who married James Faulkner; and Charles H.
A village tradition recorded by Charles H. Kohlrausch Jr. says that Wilson lived for a time in the east end of the Canal Block. On October 24, 1831 the Proprietors of the Middlesex Canal sold him about two and three quarter acres on the south side of the road from Oliver Farmer's to the mills, lots 4 to 12 on Samuel Whiting's 1816 plan of the canal land. At the auction of the estate of Nathan Mears on March 20, 1832 he bought the Z. Shed lot and part of the Mears homestead farm, and in April he bought half of lot 9 of the homestead, running to the Concord River, from Joel Dix, who sold him the other half in 1848. In 1834 he bought from Dix an undivided third of the Mears Tavern stand, which the two men held together for almost thirty years. In 1837 he paid Isaiah Bussey $1,500 for his house lot on the main road (Isaiah Bussey House) with seven acres of the old Mears homestead behind it, and in 1846 he bought the southern lot of Nathaniel Stearns's mill yard at the auction of Stearns's estate.
He also supplied lumber and lent money. When he sold seven acres of the Shed lot to Sidney S. Russell in 1842, Russell's mortgage back also secured Wilson's bill "for lumber advanced by said Wilson to said Russell to build a house and barn upon said premises" (Barker House). He held mortgages from the cooper Jeremiah Hood, from whom he bought in 1847 the house that the Talbots later called "the Wilson Lot" (James Stott House), and from John McCurdy, and a judgment he won against John Mixer led to the sheriff's sale of Mixer's equity in 1849. In 1848 he built his own house on the 1831 land, at the corner of the later Colson Street (Daniel Wilson House).
Wilson served five years on the Select Board from 1834 and represented the town in the General Court in 1835. In October 1845 he was one of the three men who signed for the town, with Francis Richardson and Zadock Howe, when the town and School District No. 1 sold the old Town House to Henry Baldwin.
In December 1857 he and his neighbor Lott Easty exchanged lots on the main road, Wilson taking the store lot with Anna Mears Wood's old Red House, which he deeded to his son Israel in 1858 for $3,000. In June 1859 he bought his son Horace's farm of 120 acres on the west side of the Concord River at the Rangeway road for $6,000 (Horace N. Wilson House) and mortgaged it the next year to Joseph Dows for $3,000.
He died intestate on November 29, 1861, leaving his widow Mary and seven children, among them Daniel A., then at Rattlesnake Bar, California, and Israel, a captain then serving in Virginia. His son-in-law Gardner Parker, the administrator, sold his third of the Mears Tavern to Dudley Foster, Lyman Haynes and Anthony Jones in 1863, the equity in the Rangeway farm to Elijah Corliss for five dollars, and in December 1863 the homestead farm of about twenty-eight acres between the road and the river, which Parker bought back through James Faulkner. Mary Wilson kept her dower in the homestead, and the 1875 atlas marks the house "Mrs. D. Wilson". Parker sold part of the farm by Wilson Street to the town in 1873 as the site of the Fordway Schoolhouse, later the Old Talbot School, and the rest of the farm went to the Talbots between 1869 and 1883.
