Joseph' Wikipedia article:
Joseph Ruggles Wilson (February 28, 1822 – January 21, 1903) was a prominent Presbyterian theologian and father of President Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson graduated from Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (now Washington & Jefferson College) in 1844. He taught belles-lettres at Washington & Jefferson. Wilson was later employed as a Professor at Hampden-Sydney College and left the school just before the birth of his son, Woodrow Wilson in Staunton, Virginia.
