Betsy, I don't know if I am related. I descend from Perry Wilson (1780-1831) and Rachel Thomas. They were married in Fayette Co., KY in 1804 and moved to Greene Co., OH about 1824. I can't tie to any other Wilson line in Greene Co., despite the fact that many Wilsons came from that area in KY and moved to Greene Co. One of these Wilsons is reputed to be the first white settler in Greene Co. I feel that there probably is a relationship to these early Wilsons, but can't work out the details yet. I have been gathering all the Wilson information in Greene Co.

David, The name of Perry is not one that I 've seen but I can't ever discount anything. Jacob Wilson and family came to Ohio from Viriginia according to all that I've seen, by way of Kentucky. They were among the first to live in Harmony Township, Clark Co. The Wilson Chapel Cemetery reading has been completed by my 16 year old son and myself, and will hopefully be on-line at the Clark County website sometime this winter. Jacob had a number of children, and his wife's name was Mary FRITZ according to work by long-time WILSON researcher, Roger WILSON, late of Springfield. Jacob and Mary had the following children: 1. Jacob , 2. John, 3. Valentine, 4. Michael, 5. William, 6. James, 7. Eleanor, 8. Mary Elizabeth, 9. Isaac, 10. Elizabeth , 11. Jeremiah, 12. Daniel. My husband's line comes through son, Michael, who married Temperance JUDY, part of the large Judy (Tschudy/ Tschudi) family. They had three sons, the youngest being another Michael before Michael, Sr. died from illness after being in the War of 1812. This Michael Jr. married into the HENRY family and founded another large family of his own---13 children. Their son James was my husband's great-grandfather. From what I've seen in Springfield and Clark County research, the children of Jacob WILSON who stayed in Greene Co. were William who married Catherine HEFFLEY. and Eleanor who married John BRADLEY,and a third---Elizabeth who married Charles HEFFLEY.
