    3. Hi, The Wilson could well be that there are Wilson Family members. Good example: My Great Grandfather was Basil Avis Weaver...........wondered where he ever recieved his name. After years of searching I found his Mother is - Jeanette Frances Downs / Weaver........okay no Avis........ Than after a kind person found Jeanette's parents by accident when she was looking for her family..........she sent me a copy of Jeanette's parents marriage record..........I only knew them as Robert and Mary Downs.........well , on the marriage application it was listed Robert Downs married Mary E. Avis.........so now, I know where my Great Grandfather recieved his middle name..........fro his Grandmother. Years ago, they did this. So........my guess again is that somewhere Wilson fits in there! Kindly Bea Oh yes.....found a few others in my tree like that as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 1:35 PM Subject: [PAHUNTIN] Re: Wilson's in Huntingdon County, Pa. > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Wilson, Craig, Dunn, Mccloskey > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZdB.2ACI/2078.1.1 > > Message Board Post: > > I am trying to figure out a possible connection to the Craig/Wilson line. > My g-g grandmother's name was Lucretia Wilson Dunn.
