I have a John Wilson (1778-1857) who m. Mary (Parker) Wilson (1780-1860). They had these children: Hannah (Hollowbush) (b.1807; d.1887); and Henry Wilson, (b. 12-7-1804; d. 10-22-1849), m. 8-19-1830 in Parker Ford, Mary Barker (b. 1-1-1809 near Spring City, PA; d. 5-16-1890 in Pottstown). My John Wilson lived in Chester County in the early 1800's, but I have no other info on him before that time, other than his birthdate. Don't know if this will help. -----Original Message----- From: Janean Ray [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 2:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PACHESTE] Wilson New to this list. Recently found information that might be my family line and hoping someone out there in the genealogy abyss might be working on the same line. Jacob Wilson b. 16 Jun. 1774 Chester Co. PA and d. 18 Apr. 1843 in White Co. IL. Married Margaret King b.27 May 1771 Union Co. Va and d. 2 Nov. 1854 White Co. IL. Jacob and Margaret had son John M. Wilson born Prince William Co. Va. and daughter Mary who married William Shelby. Other children should be - James L. Wilson, Oliver H.P. Wilson, R. Adaline Wilson, and Jane Wilson.

I am trying to connect my brick wall John Wilson b. 1772 to the aforementioned Jacob Wilson b. 1774 Chester Co. PA. John m. 1796 in Frederick Co. MD to Elizabeth Chinn of Lancaster VA. They lived at least in 1800 in Fauquier Co. Va. in or around Middleburg Va. John d. 1821. Elizabeth d. 1834 assuming in Middleburg but can't find her death location although her siblings were all buried same place. I believe John and Jacob are brothers and trying to find a Wilson family (father most likely William) in Chester Co. around 1770. There is a will of William K. Wilson in White Co. IL naming Jacob and Margaret and their children. There is no other mention of siblings of Jacob that I can tell so far until I actually see it. I believe this could be their father but John died before this will so just don't know. I'm looking for clues. My belief is that there would be a William Wilson b. c. 1740+, wife possibly Lucy or Jane. Children - John, William, Jacob, Mary and maybe Silas. Silas fought at Brandywine and Jacob in Harper's Ferry and the war of 1812. Their father...... no name mentioned fought a Paoli was wounded and captured.
