Wilson was a member of the Worshipful Company of Vintners. During the civil war he was lieutenant-colonel of the orange regiment of the London trained bands, and commanded it in October 1643. He joined the army of the Earl of Essex after the First Battle of Newbury, and took part in the occupation of Newport Pagnell.[1]
In 1645, Wilson was elected Member of Parliament for Calne in the Long Parliament.[2] He became an alderman of the City of London for Bridge ward on 28 November 1648.
