Hi: The Cresswells are collateral ancestors because of their intermarriage with the WILSON family. I only have entered those Cresswells: Matthew Cresswell, b. ?? d. 1835, West Twp, Huntingdon Co. m. Sarah Leonard b. ?? d. Nov 1837, Huntingdon Co. His Will dated 26 Jan 1835, prob. 28 Nov 1835, mentions wife, Sarah, S-I-L James Wilson Children known: Jacob, b. ca 1790 m. Asenath WILSON, of Thomas Sarah, b. ca 1790 m. James WILSON, of Thomas & Agness Scott Wilson Martha, b. 19 Jul 1797, m. James Wilson, ca 1822, of Charles Wilson Other children mentioned in his Will: John, Alexander, *Robert, Margaret m. Henry Hewit, Elizabeth, m. John Jackson, Mary, m. John Steinman., (this) Mathew m. Nancy but he died before 1835. It certainly looks like one of the sons of Matthew and Sarah is the father of your Matthew. By checking the 1880 census on the LDS site, you could possibly eliminate some.
