James Wilson, who had been on the staff of the Philadelphia Aurora, came to Steubenville (1815) to edit the Herald, changing the name to the Western Herald and Steubenville Gazette, and the politics from Democratic to Whig. Wilson was elected to the state legislature in 1816 and again in 1820, and was an associate justice of the court of common pleas. He died in 1852.—Ed.
