My brick wall John Wilson in Fauquier Co. Virginia d. 1821 had proven 1 son that went to Kentucky and I believe possibly 2 but can't prove that. His name was John Stretchley Wilson b. 1805 d. 12 Feb 1855 Union Co. KY. Married Harriet Blue of Kentucky. John Stretchley's brother Rawleigh Chinn Wilson was in Kentucky briefly but ended up in White Co. IL which is in the Kentucky border near Union Co. KY. I do not know of any specifically that went to Ohio. However, John Stretchley's children were all born between 1836 and 1849. I only have their initials other than 1st born daughter Lucy who married a Charles J.F. Wilson b. 1827 and they moved to Carmi White Co. IL. Charles' father was Chief Justice William Wilson who served as the Illinois Supreme Court Justice for 24 years. Judge Williams was born in Loudoun Co. Va and lived for a short time in Kentucky before moving to Illinois. He married Mary S. Davidson of Wheeling, Va. They had a son JOHN COOK WILSON, named after Atty. John Cook who Judge Wilson did his apprenticeship under in Virginia. It is said that Judge Wilson's father died young leaving mom and two young boys. Anyone having any information is appreciated. This brings two related Wilson lines together but the connection is broken in Loudoun Co. Virginia........ Thanks.
