S.A. Kinnier Wilson was born
in Cedarville, NJ, December 6, 1878. His father, the Rev. James Kinnier
Wilson, was a minister at the Cedarville Presbyterian Church from 1874
to 1878. Shortly after Wilson's birth, the family moved to Scotland,
where he was educated at George Watson's College and Edinburgh University.
In 1904 he began working at the National Hospital and in 1912 first
described hepatolenticular degeneration, known as Wilson's Disease.
