President George Washington appointed James Wilson and five other justices to the newly established Supreme Court of the United States in September 1789. Although Chief Justice John Jay was first nominated and the first confirmed by the Senate, Associate Justice James Wilson took his Oath of Office first. Wilson remained on the Court until his death in 1798.
