Cathleen, I don't think these Wilson's are connected to the Wilson ancestors in IL. I have very limited information on our Wilson connection as I haven't really researched them. Just noted in your previous mail the Wilson name in an IL county that boarders Schuyler Co., IL from where our Montgomery family came to Iowa and thought I'd ask you about them. Sorry I wasn't much help to you.
