Jesse was a farmer. After harvest was over, he would visit Boston, MA, then the musical center of the continent. All the best of the new music was introduced there. After each concert, he would return to his room & write down the theme or air to any he considered good. After the concerts, about 2 weeks, he would return home & write out parts for the different instruments of his band. In this way, Sharon Temple had all the latest new good music long before Boston had released it for publication.

. 1830 Mar 27 - (Abbreviated) Statements of David Wilson, John Doan, Hugh Willson, Jesse Doan;

. The Truth events compel me to believe in the impressions of my own soul, spring of actions of light. …general tribulations that Israel arise. Jacob’s sorrows are my sorrows & [Multiple religious quotes.] … the Queen would provide over all the Canadas… I will atone. Signed, David Willson.
. John Doan, (Mar 27 1838), The foregoing is a copy of a testimony written for the benefit of the congregation & not intended to go to public. But finding the the author has been accused (by individuals unknown to us) of being of a seductious character & of purchasing & writing doctrines of a rebellious nature & that he was a principal instigator of the revolt. He (David Willson) both in church & state discipleship a stone advocate for king & constitution, I have never known him to vary from it at no time. … They say that many who were as deeply implicated in the rebellion as themselves, would make no confession & was set at liberty, while they had to endure a long confinement in prison & 2 of the members are yet confined & for what cause I now not, Hugh Willson & Jesse Doan perhaps were as small dealer in politics as any in the place. They were managing their own proper business, until they were taken in the troop with the rest. [Multiple religious quotes.]
Signed, John Doan.
. There is no man between Toronto & Home that has done so much against rebellion as may say, before the fatal day …

Applications hand hath bore upon us
To teach us errors of our own
I pray Oh God & heaven save us
Our country & the British throne. Signed, David Willson.

The above testimony & many others were written by David Wilson to his children in prisons, which may not be unsatisfactory to some of ourselves informed rulers. The tree is known by its fruit, or a many is known by his work. I could produce many testimony from his works of the like of these, in various parts of his life & I know not that he has changed his sentiments at any time.
Signed, John Doan.
