WILDER, WILDER, WILDER, and more WILDERs.......<grin>......and related surnames. Still trying to roundup the descendants of Joseph "Good Old Joe" WILDER, who was born on August 3, 1758 in North Carolina and died July 20, 1865 in Buckhorn, Perry County, Kentucky. Family traditions have stated that this man was married to or had relationships with seven different women and fathered thirty-one children in his lifetime. So far, we have proven the following: Last wife: Hannah HALL Children: William, George Washington, John, William Henry Harrison, Uel, and David Relationship: Rhoda SIZEMORE Children: Nelson, Polly, Dempsey, Betsy, and Aggy We are currently working on researching the following relationship of Good Old Joe's...... Wife: Nancy (Last Name Unknown) Children: Sampson (m. Ann Estep), Reason (m. Margaret Jackson), Joseph Jr. (m. Sarah Saylor), Rhoda (m. Andrew Miracle), and 5 other unidentified children that are found residing under Good Old Joe's household in Knox County in 1810. If you have WILDERs in your lines, then you are probably related to this man in some way, shape, or form. I know he's definitely in my bloodstream. I'm related to this man through three of his children so far.......John WILDER (mother: Hannah HALL), Polly WILDER (mother: Rhoda SIZEMORE), and Reason WILDER (m. Margaret JACKSON). I'm the List Admin for WILDER-SOUTH-L and the Admin for the WILDER DNA Project. We currently have two lines of Joseph's DNA tested......John and Uel's (both sons of Hannah HALL). We also have Sampson's (m. Mary "Polly" ADAMS) line tested. All three lines matched at the first 12-markers. This Sampson WILDER is believed to be either a brother or nephew to Good Old Joe. We are constantly looking for direct male WILDER descendants to participate in the DNA Project. If you are a direct male descendant or know of one that would like to participate in the WILDER DNA Project, please feel free to contact me. I would like to correspond with anyone who has WILDERs in their branches. Beth
