The DAR for mother does not show Aaron nor does the father's.
The About says he is on Eleanor's papers.
There is another Aaron in DAR with a different wife.
The bio for this Aaron speaks of how confused his identity is

Per DAR, the Aaron who married Hannah is the grandson of Robert.

'''Aaron Wilson was born in 1751 and married Hannah Martin. In 1807, he was paying taxes on 800 acres of land in Williamson County, Tennessee. He is said to have been buried in the Thick Community of Marchall County, Tennessee, which was at that time Williamson County.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR PATRIOTS OF

MARSHALL COUNTY, TENNESSEE

Compiled by JANE WALLACE ALFORD

American Bicentennial Publication of Robert Lewis Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution 1976

Aaron 1751-1831 was a Lt. in the Rev. War. he married Hannah Martin. One of their sons was Brig-Gen. Ewing A. Wilson who was a Sen. for Marshall Co. Tenn. Some of their children are buried in the Moses-Wilson graveyard at Thick, Tenn.

The family records of Thomas Milton Haynes, a direct descen-dant of Robert and Eleanor Wilson, refer to Aaron as a “Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War, never married and was a man of means”. However, other sources, for example the DAR papers of Eleanor Wilson. 1724-1810, list Robert’s and Eleanor’s son Aaron, born 1751, and have him married to Hannah Martin. Goodspeed’s History Of Tennessee records an Aaron J. Wilson, born in North Carolina and died in 1831 in Bedford County (now Marshall) Tennessee. married to Hannah Martin and father of seven children, one of whom was Ewing A. Wilson. an illustrious officer of the Civil War. Hannah Martin was the daughter of Josiah Martin, who was born in Pennsylvania and died in Rutherford County, Tennessee. in 1835. The Rutherford County Marriage Book 1. 1804-1850 has Aron Wilson and Hannah Martin married on March 17, 1812.

It is my opinion and that of Mrs. D. D. Dickev of Covington. Tennessee, (both descendants of Major David Wilson, brother of Robert of North Carolina) that Aaron, son of Robert, was a bachelor. The Aaron J., who married Hannah Martin. is believed by us, to be a son of Samuel Wilson and nephew of the Aaron Wi1son of this article, It is unlikely that Aaron Wilson. born in 1751, would have married in 1812 at the age of 61 and begot seven children.

Because family records confuse these two men, I do not know the death date or burial spot of Aaron. Doubtless he is buried in one of the family cemeteries in an unmarked grave. There is a Moses-Wilson Cemetery north of Caney Springs across from the Eddie Wilson home and a Wilson-Ezell Cemetery on the Edd Ezell farm at Chapel Hill.

He was one of the seven Revolutionary veteran sons of Robert and Eleanor Wilson, of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Eleanor Wilson’s efforts for the cause of the Colonies won her a place among the Famous Women of the Revolution. Aaron served with General Sumpter and others in North Carolina militia for the duration of the war. He came to Sumner County, Tennessee, about 1790 and later settled in Marshall County.
