Sorry for duplicate posts but am sending this out to the counties involved and/or mentioned in notes. Looking for bites. Anything on ANY of these people below however small is appreciated. Clues lurk everywhere. I am interested in confirming or eliminating the following: William Wilson b. 21 Aug. 1745 Kennett Sq. Chester Co. PA wife unknown...... could be possibly Lucy or Jane...... just a stab in the dark based on some naming patterns. Possible/probable sons: William R. Wilson b. 29 Jun 1765 d. 17 Dec. 1794 (probably Loudoun Co. Virginia) m. 26 Mar 1790 to Jane King b. abt. 1768 d. 10 Dec. 1843 White Co. IL. Children were John Knox Wilson and Judge William Wilson, IL Sup. Ct. Justice. Born Loudoun Co. Va. Judge Wilson did his apprenticeship under the Hon. John Cook who ranked high as a lawyer at the bar of Virginia and who served his country with honor and distinction abroad as Minister to the Court of France. In 1812 Mr. Wilson was a commanding officer under General Jackson at New Orleans Jane Kings parents were Mary Kearney and Phillip King. Mary had brother James Kearney. They were related to Gen. Phillip Kearney. The earliest document found for him is dated 20 Jun. 1795, Martinsburg, W.Va. Court Records [Berkeley County]: "A[dministration?] of the estate of William WILSON Jr. [sic] dec'd granted to Jane WILSON his widow and James KERNEY, they having complied with the law. (James KERNEY was a br[other] of m[other] of Jane KING WILSON. Her f[ather] Philip KING mar. Aug. 19, 1766 Mary KERNEY.) [Chinn Book, p. 251] John Wilson b. abt. 1772 m. Elizabeth Travers Chinn they lived in Loudoun Co. Va. their children went to Union Co. KY and White Co. IL. This is my family that I'm trying to connect to the rest of the Wilsons herein. Jacob Wilson b. 16 Jun 1774 Chester Co. PA d. 18 Apr. 1843 White Co. IL m. 7 Feb 1801 Martinsburg Va/WV to Margaret King (sister of above Jane King) b. 27 May 1771 Union Co. PA d. 2 Nov. 1854 White Co. IL Jacob was at Harper's Ferry in 1798 and served at the White House in the War of 1812 under Col. William Washington. Jacob's father fought in the REv'n war and was wounded at Paoli and captured. There should be a brother of Jacob named Silas that fought at Brandywine he may have died as there is no Silas mentioned in a letter I have that does mention all three of these boys and their wives. In 1811 Jacob and Margaret were living in Prince Wn Co. Va near Bull Run as that is where son John M. Wilson was born. (his son) In 1824 they moved from PWC to Jefferson Co. va. (W.Va.) and in October 1828 they moved to Illinois reaching White Co. in December of the same year, where they passed the winter at the home of a cousin Justice William Wilson who married Mary Davidson.
