Jonathan M. Wilson
Jonathan Means Wilson (possibly December 11, 1871), usually advertising as
J. M. Wilson, was a 19th-century slave trader of the United States who trafficked people from the
Upper South to the
Lower South as part of the
interstate slave trade. Originally a trading agent and associate to
Baltimore traders, he later operated a slave depot in
New Orleans. At the time of the
1860 U.S. census of New Orleans, Wilson had the second-highest net worth of the 34 residents who listed their occupation as "slave trader".
