Glad to see discussion about Y-DNA testing for male Wilson ancestry. It's so important to use DNA as a means to either include or exclude possible related families. It saves time and money in the long run! I'm the group administrator of the "Wilsons of East Ohio" project on FamilyTreeDNA.com. I encourage fellow listers with Wilson ancestors who lived in Eastern Ohio in the late 1700s to mid-1800s to join. The goal of the project is to attempt to sort out the many Wilson families using DNA who lived in the following counties: Athens, Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Coshocton, Gallia, Guernsey, Harrison, Hocking, Holmes, Jackson, Lawrence, Jefferson, Knox, Licking, Mahoning, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Stark, Tuscarawas, Vinton, Wayne, and Washington. With enough participants, my hope is to be able to provide the Y-DNA "signature" for every Wilson family in these locations by census year so that everyone better target their research. If you have tested your Y-DNA on FamilyTreeDNA.com or have uploaded your Y-DNA from another testing lab to FamilyTreeDNA, you can join the group at: www.familytreedna.com/public/WilsonNEOhio/ Individuals who join the group receive a $20 discount off the Y-37 paternal DNA test. If you would like to learn more, please contact me at rwilson7@aol.com.

Betty: In keeping with the information you have provided I suggest interested researchers review the Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia: 1745 to 1800 by Lyman Chalkley and study the early Wilsons of early Augusta, VA and their relationship to the Patton family who came to America landing first in the Chester County, Virginia area many of which moved are found later in KY and others in NC this will include references to John Wilson the Burgess who for some 27 years represented the VA claim west "to the uttermost" at the time. You will find references in the Chronicles showing where they came from after they arrived and trips they made back to the Chester, PA area which by definition will include the nearby counties in early Maryland. In some cases the Wilsons of early Augusta, VA didn't actually move to KY there was simply a change when certain counties were separated from VA and later subdivided. While this strain of Wilsons no doubt originated in Scotland they seem to have been among the Wilsons who moved from Scotland to Ulster Plantation encouraged by the English to "water down" the influence of the Irish Catholics and relates to the early changes in England from the Catholic heirs to the throne to the English church. As it turned out the Scots were better business people then the English at the time and to even out the competition England added some unbearable taxes. As a result James Patton and many Wilsons left Ulster Plantation and came to America. As an international reinsurance broker for over 40 years, I visited Ireland, Scotland, and had a second home in England for seven years and spent some of my spare time researching all this. The old saying about Scotch Presbyterians is "they kept the Sabbath and everything else they could get their hands on."

Ada, Do you know what company did the DNA test? Most facilities have a website to compare with other tests. I have my results listed on a number of differant sites. I will go onto the sites I am on and try to find your Henry Frank Wilson by name. I do assume that he has been listed on a site, do you have any idea what facility did his test. I will do what I can to help. It would be better if I had some sort of a hint. Please send me anything you have that may help. If you want to do this privately my direct e-mail is as follows.

Benjamin W or Benjamin W. E. Wilson born ca 1829 SC. In Walker Co GA by 1850, per census. First born of William and Sarah (unkn) Wilson; both born ca 1800 +/- 10 yrs, somewhere in SC. Or could this Sarah have been Benjamin's stepmother as some have suggested? Was Benjamin W / W. E. named for William Wilson's father whose name could have been Benjamin? Did Benjamin's initials stand for Benjamin William E Wilson? Did this Benjamin live in DeKalb Co AL by 1860 or was that a different Benjamin? Did he ever marry; most likely in DeKalb Co AL? Did he die in Civil War? So many questions without answers. Paula
My husband and a 3rd cousin of his have been tested. Their earliest known ancestor is Benjamin Wilson, b. ~1775 in VA. Right now, the most likely location is Brunswick Co., VA. Their haplogroup is R-M269. I can't figure out how to see the results as R1B1.... any more. I don't know if I recorded that information before it disappeared from FTDNA.

Clara: I currently live in Maryland just south of Cecil County and have spent a bit of time researching the Wilsons here. The earliest Wilson's came here about 1700 direct from Ulster Plantation because the English were losing business to the Scotch Irish and began over taxing them. They moved west across PA and down the Wilderness path to Southwest VA and on to KY and NC. Another strain of what seems to be a later strain of Wilson's descend from a Christopher Wilson who was an early minister in Cecil county and they drifted south down into Harford and Baltimore County. The Baltimore City Wilson's descend from James Wilson a very early Scotch Irish shipping magnate and descendants who were prominent business people in Baltimore. You can track these Wilson's in the various histories of Baltimore. Ron Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Clara W.

Let me introduce myself, I am Robert Wilson and I have ancestors from Missouri, ( Iron , Wayne and Madison Cos. ) I have been following your posts as of late. My early ancestors were from Burke and Mecklenburg Counties N. C.. The era for my direct decendant Wilsons was about 1750 til 1834 in N. C.. I have only recently discovered a connection in Mecklenburg where my Joseph Wilson may have owned land which was a part of where the Rudisil Gold Mine operation began. After Joseph's death in Burke Co. a fellow named Marshall T. Polk ( related to James Knox Polk our 11th President ) bought the Mecklenburg property ( abt. 1829 ) from Josephs widow Mary Wilson. Then about 1831 Marshall T. Polk died and in his will he willed the property he bought from widow Mary's estate back to widow Mary and her daughters Sara R., Mary J., and possibley a Laura. Does any of this bring to your mind a connection in any way? Again I am sorry to interrupt your conversation on Abrams but I am looking for that proverbial needle in the haystack for connections.

It sure does help in our quest in finding our past. I had the test done in 2006 by Sorenson labs. The test does not answer all your questions, although it definitly will help you to know for positive that you are on the right track in your research. I am posting my DNA results here. It is R1B1C7- the Northwest Irish. If anyone who has had a test done matches this result please feel free to e-mail me. Also please post your result group to help other researhers.

My dad, Temple Wilson is FTDNA kit is #60837 haplogroup R-M269 Linda a Richards
My most distant documented ancestor is David Wilson. He was born January 1774. According to the 1850 census, he was born in VA. He first appears in records in Greene County, TN when he married Jane Weir. There were Wilson families in Augusta / Rockbridge Counties in the area known as Borden's Grant or the Scotch Irish Settlement. He was a Presbyterian. I have no documented info to connect him to any of the Wilson's living in that part of VA. Anyone? > On Jul 7, 2014, at 7:59 AM, "Clara W.

WILSON Researchers: Is it possible that any of you with "Wilson Ancestors" from Mecklenburg Co.N.C. could also be descended from my Patriarch, James Wilson who married Isabella Smith? There are several James Wilson men descending from this family who immigrated into TN & KY. In search of Religious Freedom & Independence, the Wilsons & Smiths immigrated from Scotland to Cecil Co. MD then on to Mecklenburg N.C...later moved to Carroll Co. TN then into Graves Co. KY. My Grandfather, James Wilson, (Graves Co. KY) married Elizabeth Robey... whose ancestors were from Castle Donnington-Leicestershire, England. My father, Henry L. Wilson, is buried in Pleasant Valley Cem., Graves Co. KY. I've worked over 50+years on this genealogy & there is still so much that I want to know & find out!!!! I would love to contact more cousins to share & compare info! Take care & God Bless!

Hi. Bob: I'm from Michigan too. I was born in Wyandotte, Michigan and my Michigan ancestors arrived in Frenchtown, Monroe County, about 1836 from Orange County, Indiana. My gggrandfather John Wilson originated in Virginia but moved to Kentucky where he married Sidney Freeman. Sidney Freeman's father Benjamin Freeman lived in Mercer County, KY but sold his land and bought land in Orange County, IN. Not long after Benjamin Freeman died about 1831, John Willson, and Sidney gathered up the children and traveled to Frenchtown where they lived until a little after 1860. Their son Thomas Dow Wilson born in IN 1828 died 1883 is my great grandfather.

I suggest you compare the Wilsons in early census of NC and SC by year starting with the earliest every ten years to see the movement, ages, and changes on an xl worksheet and then compare the later year names with the names in the census of GA. Once you have the names of the heads of families, research those names in collateral sources such as local county genealogical websites, histories, and cemeteries. If you do this I have a hunch you will get lucky. Look for initials including middle initials because you will find the second generation often goes by the middle name. Also keep in mind when you are doing a search that in the early days names were often transcribed phonetically and quite a few of the early Wilson family spelled their name with two "Ls". The fun is when you hit the "jackpot" and it all falls together and you can then look for the same people in other family trees.

I can't determine if Samuel would be connected to my Abram Wilson or not. His children included: Benjamin W. E. Wilson (I've never found a Benjamin with those initials)born ca 1829 SC Mary M born ca 1836-37 SC (It's been suggested that perhaps Sarah Wilson was a 2nd wife since there is 7-8 year age difference between Benjamin & Mary) Abby/Abigail, born ca 1838 SC Martha A, born ca 1839 SC James, born ca 1841 SC Susan/Susan C, born ca 1843 GA Jerry M, born ca 1845 GA Minerva Jane, born ca 1849 GA Sarah E, born ca 1849 GA Abraham/Abram, born ca 1852-53 GA I don't know when this family left SC but looking at birth dates and locations, I would guess between 1841-1843. If they settled in Walker Co GA first thing, I don't know but they were in West Amunchee, Walker Co GA for that 1850 census and in DeKalb Co AL for the 1860 census. I with a name like Wilson, I wish they had been named something else.

Some some are found in Kentucky part of which was Virginia and others went further south to NC. Follow the early Scotch Presbyterians back from Augusta to the earlier Presbyterian colonies such as Lancaster, PA and further back to Chester, PA and nearby MD counties where they originally landed from Ulster Plantation in the early part of the 1700's with the Patton's and friends and other settlers of Augusta. It's an interesting study. You will find such other cousins such as John Wilson the Burgess of Augusta who for some 27 years represented the interests of the early VA claim going West "to the uttermost." Many list John as a son of Samuel. Ron Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Clara W.

There is a book "Mecklenburg & their Signers" (by Worth S. Ray) that lists several Wilsons who were among the first settlers of that N.C. area...and there is a SAMUEL WILSON whose will was probated in Mecklenburg N.C. dated 9 March 1778. He was married 3 times & among the children with the 3rd wife was a William Wilson. I do not know if Wm. married a lady named Sarah or not. The names of all of the Samuel Wilson families' children were: David, Benjamin, Samuel, Sally, Violet, Mary, Margaret, Robert, William, Lillie, Sarah, & Charity. Do any of these sibling names appear in any of your lineage? My theory is that any of them could have named a son Abraham and those many children, from Mecklenburg, did scatter far & wide over the southern U.S. Just wondering if we might have mutual WILSON heritage!!!
