The book Wilson Memories says that the Alexander Wilson you mention was
the second of ten children.
I can copy you the page or so about the first four generations of
Wilsons in the US from that book if you would like.

Here is the text regarding Samuel Wilson taken from History of Antrim 1744-1877 by W.R. Cochrane published 1880 Manchester NH Mirror Steam Printing Press
This book documents several distinct Wilson families in the town - this
is the part about Samuel:

Samuel Wilson was son of Robert and Nancy (Gregg) Wilson, and grandson
of Robert. They were of old Londonderry stock. Samuel came here from
New Boston in 1817, put up a set of buildings (now gone) on the south
part of the Caleb Clark farm, and lived there many years. Afterward
moved on to the old John Wallace farm near Reed Carr's, where he died
April 4, 1855, aged eighty-eight. He married Sally Reed, daughter of
Zadok Reed, who died Nov. 4, 1844, and their children were: --
