I'm looking to contact someone who is researching or knows anything about the following Wilson family who moves from Allegheny County PA to Harrison County OH around 1842. I believe John Wilson married Mary McClelland in Allegheny County PA and then moved to Harrison County shortly thereafter. Census records in 1850 in Monroe Twp, Harrison County, OH indicate that the first two children were born in Allegheny County PA. John Wilson, b. 1810 Ireland Mary McClelland (wife) b. 1822 Ireland 1) John, b. 1840 Allegheny Co PA 2) William, b. 1841 Allegheny Co, PA (death record claims Pittsburgh), marries Ellen Dixon (b. Ireland) 3) Jane, b. 1843 Harrison County OH 4) Andrew, b. 1845 Harrison Co OH, m. Sarah Moreland 5) James, b. 1847 Harrison Co OH 6) Margaret, b. 1849 Harrison Co OH, m. Thomas Timmerman 7) David, b. 1854 Harrison Co OH, m. Mary Smith 8) Samuel, b. 1852 Harrison Co OH, m. Mary Margaret Timmerman 9) Martha, b. 1852 Harrison Co OH 10) George B., b. 1856 Harrison Co OH 11) Alexander, b. 1858 Harrison Co OH, m. Juniatta Wyant 12) Robert, b. 1859 Harrison Co OH, m. Mary Alice Paige 13) Elizabeth B., b. 1864 Harrison Co OH, m. Sherman Foutz 14) Orr, b. 1866 Harrison Co OH, m. Eliza Florence Weyant I believe my Wilson family, who also lived in Harrison County at this time, is related to this family. A very strong DNA test has confirmed it. I am very eager to share information. My Wilson family includes the following individuals whose parents are unknown. These individuals all later migrate to Meigs County Ohio by 1850. 1) William B. Wilson, b. 1810 PA, m. Sarah Hill 2) James H. Wilson, b. 1815 PA, m. Susan Hill 3) John B. Wilson, b. 1816 PA, m. 1) Lettitia Jones, 2) Josephine Kinney 4) Robert Wilson, b. 1819 OH, m. Jane Riggs 5) David Wilson, b. 1825 OH, m. Ruth Hutton Thanks in advance, Rick Wilson New York, NY

This is a courtesy message addressed to the Internet Explorer users in particular. There was a code glitch causing the lists not to display properly, showing a long string instead.

Norm, There is a reading for St. Martin's Cemetery at the PA Room at Carnegie Library done by Mary Grace Denk. The cemetery is in West End.
