Harold, Check Rockbridge County, Virginia for your WILSON family. In my research, I've run across many WILSON families there. Augusta County adjoins Rockbridge County on Rockbridge's North border. I'm researching the GILMORE families of Rockbridge County. One of the GILMORE females married a WILSON. Here is the info I have on the WILSON family. Emma Bell GILMORE, daughter of Andrew Jackson GILMORE and Mary Ann GILBERT, married James William WILSON (born October 7, 1855 in Rockbridge Co, VA) on August 23, 1882 in Rockbridge Co, VA. He was the son of James A. WILSON and Amanda Jane WRIGHT. On June 1, 1900 Emma Bell GILMORE and James William WILSON appeared in the Census in the Natural Bridge District of Rockbridge County, Virginia. They were living next door to Thomas WILSON (born August 1862) and his wife Robbie W. WILSON (born February 1860). Perhaps Thomas and James Wilson were brothers? children of Emma Bell GILMORE and James William WILSON: 1. Pearl E. WILSON 2. William "Frank" WILSON 3. Ray WILSON 4. Mabel Margaret WILSON 5.

Does anyone if this book is available, and if so, where? I do not know the name of the author or when it was published. I am searching for information on my Wilson family that came from Scotland to Baltimore, MD, about 1730 - 1740, then to Virginia. The family was in Campbell County, in 1792, as my gr gr grandfather, John C. Wilson, was born there 1792. His father's name was James C. Wilson, and was probably born in Virginia about 1750. I don't know where the family came to in Virginia when they left Maryland, or even when. I only have info from family stories told by 90 year old man and an 86 year old woman. They both say that the family only stayed in Maryland a short time and went to the mountains. That covers a lot of territory. I'm hoping that this book will give me some clue as to where to look. Thank you very much for your help. Harold in Florida
