WVa, but was originally Frederick Co. VA. This John was owner of 2 I have a copy of O' Dell's book which says our John WILLSON was not the same as the "three brothers" John WILLSON. Our John lived until 1783---have a copy of his will from the Greene Co. Ohio library. John's son, Jacob, husband of Mary FRITZ, is our line which came to Clark Co. Ohio eventually. Our John is the John WILSON of page 82-3 in O' Dell's book. Know that "wife one" was evidently "not" Mary MARQUIS---been on this hunt for a number of year. However, who was his first wife? Know that last wife was mother of some of his 14 children---and mother of last child, Isaac. Am now hunting for Quaker records---have seen that our John WILLSON was part of Hopewell Meetings. Can anyone help with any of this.
