I am looking for the following from Illinois and/or Virginia John M. Wilson b. 1811 near Bull Run Prince Wm. Co Mary E. Wilson sister Parents Jacob Wilson and Margaret King (mother nee Kearney related to Gen. Phil Kearney) Cousin to Jacob was Judge William Wilson b. 1794 in Loudoun Co. and became Illinois Supreme Court Justice Ruth Wilson Dillon that wrote the Chinn Book is the granddaughter of Harriet Lucy Wilson and Charles James Fox Wilson. Charles was the son of Judge William Wilson and Harriet was the daughter of John Stretchley Wilson son of John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn. MY BRICK WALL In the Wilson Story also by Ruth Dillon about my brick wall John Wilson, it talks about a letter and "your Uncle Jacob Wilson" and also says there was a Jacob Wilson in early Carmi that married a King but no relationship was established as of then. One of Judge Wilson's boys wrote to his mother about "Cousin Lucy Crebs" This Lucy Crebs is the daughter of John Wilson my brick wall. I believe John and Jacob Wilson are brothers and the father would be William Wilson. There is a mention that there might be an Uncle Silas but don't know if that is a Wilson or not. I believe they had a brother William. So Judge William Wilson is their nephew. I think that could be brother William's son. Whoever his father was he died when Jg. William was young leaving mom and another brother. He was b. 1794 in Loudoun Co. It is said the Jacob Wilson's family came from Pennsylvania. Jacob lived in PW Co. and that is where John was born. Then they moved to Jefferson Co. Va. (W.Va) and onward to White Co. IL in 1828 spending the winter with cousin Judge William Wilson. These boys are related, hoping someone knows something. Janean
