Hi Marcia; I have been looking for Wilsons up and down Perry County for some time. Around 1784 my ancestor, Robert Kelly, took for a second wife Lettice Wilson, widow of the recently deceased Samuel Wilson of W. Pennsboro, Cumberland. Robert lived near Landisburg. Lettice had children from her marriage to Samuel: John, James, Andrew and Mary. John had a son, Samuel, as noted in Samuel Wilson's will. I have been trying to determine if her son is the same James Wilson who married Margaret Kilgore in 1805. It was his second marriage, his first wife also possibly being a Margaret. I believe he had a daughter, Margaret, and will check for you. Kathy

Hello Kathy, There were quite a few Wilsons living in the area of Pennsylvania that became Juniata Co. and Perry Co. The two-volume Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia Of Juniata Valley (1897) lists18 Wilsons in its index, viz., George, Henry, H. Latimer, Isaac, James B., John (2), John A., John F., Nathaniel, Robert (3), Samuel, William, William A., William H., and William W. The mention of Samuel Wilson occurs on p. 343 of volume one. I regret I do not have the first volume of this set: I have only the second volume which begins with page 683. Since the Perry Historians created an index for both volumes and published the index in a reprint of the second volume in 1979, I think you will find Perry Historians have a copy of the first volume of BEJV in their library. In May 1802 my immigrant ancestor, Johannes Zulauf>John Sulouff, bought 206 acres from George Wilson whose farm was situated at the confluence of the Licking Creek and the Tuscarora Creek in Milford Twp., in the portion of Mifflin Co. that became Juniata Co. in 1831. The last I heard, about five years ago, a Wilson descendant owned and lived on the remaining Wilson property in the corner of Milford Twp. formed by these two creeks. You might also consider the fact that this portion of Mifflin Co. was taken off of Cumberland Co. in 1789 and that Perry Co. was taken off of Cumberland Co. in 1820. Thus you might find the roots of your Wilsons in old Cumberland Co. records. Happy hunting, Nelson R. Sulouff ///////////////////////////////////////////////// ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2002 4:45 PM Subject: Re: [PA-Perry] DANIEL McAFEE and MARGARET WILSON > Hi Marcia; > > I have been looking for Wilsons up and down Perry County for some time. > Around 1784 my ancestor, Robert Kelly, took for a second wife Lettice Wilson, > widow of the recently deceased Samuel Wilson of W.
