Hi Ann Glad to see you pursuing the Scot connection with our Wilsons. As you know I have been trying also with no luck. Thanks for all the great info you have been sending me lately. The letter from Elizabeth Harris 3/23/99 was interesting when see talked about John Irvine being from Hat Creek Va. That is where my father was from. I am going to try to get a copy of the "living family chart" that Thomas Marshall made up. If I am successful and you would like to have a copy I will make you one. I found a document that stated the Harveys in Va. were from Warwickshire, England in the Snitterfield Parish. I joined a website mailing list that I found for Warwick- shire and am trying to find the Harveys there. It looks like the only Scot connection is going to be through the Wilsons. Keep trying to find that elusive thread as will I.
