LaVera Jones cjones05695@aol..com Has any one took a dan test for jeremiah wilsin sr. AS i don't have a wilson that could take the test for me. he is my 4 grate grand father. and his son jeremiah wilson jr. then samuel c. wilson. harddy wilson, thomas jefferson wilson is my gaand father and my dad was kelly rosevilty (TED) WILSON . I would like to know if any one else has taking one.

Betty, It is funny that you say that. We were just recently speculating the same thing. Common names in this area of Warrick County include Wilson, Hopper, Bullock, Reed and Madden and it seems that all originated in Russell County and ended up in Indiana in the mid 1800's. I have relatives with all these names, and we've wondered if they knew each other in Russell County before arriving in Indiana.

Thank you. The study of DNA is the wave of the future in genealogy as far as I am concerned..at least for men! I love the paper trail and will never give it up, but DNA studies uncover so many things that the paper trail does not reveal. It has provided two wonderful connections for my family that we would have been able to find had it not been for this science. I have a third DNA study that has not had one single perfect match in over five years. There have been two partial matches which gives us a clue, but I am waiting for thrill of the day when we get that exact hit...maybe with a mutation or two.

Hi Bob, My father's name is Robert, so evertime your email pops up, I think it is him. Yes, it is mysterious how we get tangled up with other family names. Similar to your situation, from the Sinclair/St. Clair's that I have communicated with, we also cannot find any way that we are connected. However, DNA doesn't lie, so there has to be a strong connection at some point in time. For some reason, the copy of your page did not come through.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see where this line goes.  That is the fascinating aspect of DNA testing, there are just so many surprises.  If I can be of any further help to your research, I will be happy to send you my DYS values or other information.

Yes in your first line you said my father's mDNA comes from his mother she is my Wilson connection. With his sample already in storage maybe now I can get the money scraped together and have it tested for the Wilson mDNA. It's not the same as a YDNA but this may be the only way I can get a Wilson allele line established.

One problem with mtDNA....maternal DNA...is that it doesn't help much with genealogy. I had mine done, and I discovered that my earliest female ancestor lived in Syria 5000 years ago. While I have had a few people contact me, there have been no connections as we could be kin thousands of years ago. There is a book entitled* The Seven Daughters of Eve* which is very interesting as it explains the seven divisions in which mtDNA is categorized. My purpose in taking the test was to determine if I had Native American heritage which I did not....at least not from the data that ftDNA has. I also took 23andme and did not discover Native American ancestry there either. The test did give me a long list of diseases to which I might be genetically predisposed. I am the kind of person who doesn't get bent out of shape about this kind of info, but it could be upsetting to some. Also, the report that I was NOT predisposed to breast cancer and the fact that not only I have had it but my mother and paternal aunt as well, served to make me doubt the results. I was flooded with emails from people with whom I matched, but the process of figuring out how and reading the dna results were overwhelming. I turned my results over to a surname researcher of one of my family names and haven't heard a word since. If I had to do it over, I would not have done 23andme. The outfit also charges nine dollars a month to monitor my matches. While I have read that there have been amazing matches with 23andme, it did not work for me. It was more technical than I was willing to deal with...might work for others. The info presented here might be old, and there might be upgrades or discoveries of which I am not aware...just my experience. Overall, I was fascinated that a female born in Syria had a daughter who had a daughter who had a daughter...so forth..until I was born, another daughter, and we all had the same mtDNA. I do not have a daughter, but my female line is not dead for the fact that my first cousin has a daughter who has a daughter...so the line lives.

Linda - beautifully written.  Too many of us have thought that these DNA tests advertised will help us locate some of our more immediate ancestors...and that's not the way it works, as you explained so well.  Also, most of us tend to believe that ALL of our ancestors had white skin and blue eyes...and that our great grandmother told the truth when she said that the child that was born after only 7 months of marriage was truly the biological child of the man she married.  Again, a beautiful assumption, but that's not the way it always works. We truly are a mix of many, many "mothers" sifted down thru time.  Our ancestry search can only lead us a few hundred years back, then it becomes a lot of "guesswork", a lot of "assuming".  Who are we to say who actually mated to become our parents 1000 years ago?  We are fortunate to obtain "proof" (?) of our lineage for more than two generations.  DNA is really the ONLY proof.  That is why many of us trace our lineage even though we know, or have suspicions, that our true parentage may never be known.  It's fascinating to "DO" genealogy....of anyone's ancestors! ________________________________ From: Linda Miller Wilson <lindamiller.wilson129@gmail.com> To: wilson@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, January 13, 2012 5:59:07 PM Subject: Re: [WILSON] clarify for me please....it's been a while One problem with mtDNA....maternal DNA...is that it doesn't help much with genealogy.  I had mine done, and I discovered that my earliest female ancestor lived in Syria 5000 years ago.  While I have had a few people contact me, there have been no connections as we could be kin thousands of years ago.  There is a book entitled* The Seven Daughters of Eve* which is very interesting as it explains the seven divisions in which mtDNA is categorized.  My purpose in taking the test was to determine if I had Native American heritage which I did not....at least not from the data that ftDNA has.  I also took 23andme and did not discover Native American ancestry there either.  The test did give me a long list of diseases to which I might be genetically predisposed.  I am the kind of person who doesn't get bent out of shape about this kind of info, but it could be upsetting to some.  Also, the report that I was NOT predisposed to breast cancer and the fact that not only I have had it but my mother and paternal aunt as well, served to make me doubt the results.  I was flooded with emails from people with whom I matched, but the process of figuring out how and reading the dna results were overwhelming.  I turned my results over to a surname researcher of one of my family names and haven't heard a word since.  If I had to do it over, I would not have done 23andme.  The outfit also charges nine dollars a month to monitor my matches.  While I have read that there have been amazing matches with 23andme, it did not work for me. It was more technical than I was willing to deal with...might work for others.   The info presented here might be old, and there might be upgrades or discoveries of which I am not aware...just my experience.  Overall, I was fascinated that a female born in Syria had a daughter who had a daughter who had a daughter...so forth..until I was born, another daughter, and we all had the same mtDNA. I do not have a daughter, but  my female line is not dead for the fact that my first cousin has a daughter who has a daughter...so the line lives.  Because our mothers were sisters, they had the same mtDNA as our grandmother and her mother and her mother.......Linda Wilson On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Jan Ashford <jan@theashfords.org> wrote: > Your father's mDNA came from his mother.  Your's came from your mother. > Your mother's came from her mother.  Your mother's father's came from > his mother, but he did not pass it on to anyone.  I think is gets > confusing because the surnames change.  You are quite right, your > father's sample is no help at all on your mother's lines.  I hope this > helps a little. > > > On 01/13/2012 03:21 PM, roberta hall wrote: > > Again, sorry still not clear.....the Estes sample is that of my father's > (I > > have not supplied a sample)  what information would it have of my mother, > > his wife? > > You also mention both sons and daughters receive the mDNA so would that > mean > > that both his father (an Estes YDNA) and his mother (the Wilson mDNA) > would > > be in the same sample?

Your father's mDNA came from his mother. Your's came from your mother. Your mother's came from her mother. Your mother's father's came from his mother, but he did not pass it on to anyone. I think is gets confusing because the surnames change. You are quite right, your father's sample is no help at all on your mother's lines. I hope this helps a little.

I have looked at the Wilson DNA project and have considered testing my husband, Ron. He was born in Russell County, Kentucky. Ronnie is the grandson of James Monroe Wilson (son of Balzorie Whittle and Jasper Moses Wilson.) James Monroe Wilson was born on 4-6-1883 in Russell County, Kentucky and died 1-27-1964 in Russell Cty. Ky. James Monroe Wilson (they called him Jimmy Roe) married Martha C. Tucker, daughter of Elias Tucker. There is a glitch though - James Monroe was actually 4 years old when Balzorie Whittle and Jasper Moses were married. I have been told by older family members that his father was a fellow named Luther Wilson but my mother-in-law told me years ago that he was a Whittle. Whether she said that because his mother was a Whittle or not I don't know. I believe Jasper Moses was the son of a Moses Brackston Wilson but that may be irrelevant. Needless to say I investigated the Wilson DNA project as a possible solution to at least find out if my husband is a Whittle or a Wilson but when I looked at the Wilson DNA project at FTM it was not clear to me that it would be worth participating. I just recently subscribed to the Wilson mailing list and I am happy to see these postings about the DNA project and particularly glad to see a post about the Wilsons in Russell County, Kentucky. This has helped me make up my mind to go ahead with the testing. I will be looking forward to seeing the results.

Again, sorry still not clear.....the Estes sample is that of my father's (I have not supplied a sample) what information would it have of my mother, his wife? You also mention both sons and daughters receive the mDNA so would that mean that both his father (an Estes YDNA) and his mother (the Wilson mDNA) would be in the same sample? As the granddaughter of this pair I can see how my mDNA profile would be of my mother's side and would not work. My father was one of 4 boys my grandparents had my grandmother being the only direct line Wilson female in the family. Wait I think a light bulb just went off....(mother to mother) my grandmother born a Wilson sur-name of her father but her mother was a Mullen so my father would have the Mullen mDNA and nothing of the Wilson line...is that correct?

Hi Gregg & Jan, Gregg, it would not surprise me one bit if we're related on several different lines. A cousin did some genealogy many years ago and her observation was, "if your surnames were Wilson, Hopper, Wade, Hart, Judd, or a number of other names, you were related to everyone in Russell County." I certainly believe it. Jan, I'm just getting into your Wilson info and will let you know what I find. I know I'm going to need some dates to follow through with all this info. I'll get back to you.

Hi Jan & Betty, There is a web site called Find A Grave.com that is very useful. If you search for Wilson's in Russell and Pulaski Counties in Kentucky, there are listings for over 400 Wilsons buried in those two counties alone, with many of the dates from the 1800's. It seems that in terms of migration patterns, as settlers in Virginia moved west, that was more or less a route that many took. So, I would think that the chances are pretty favorable that more than one line of Wilson's travelled through this region. Something that Betty has really helped me to understand is how counties have changed boundaries over time. Depending on what time frame one is looking, Russell County in KY could be one name or another as lines were re-drawn (in fact, Kentucky was carved out of Virginia, so a particular area of KY may have actually been a Virginian county, again depending on the time frame). Betty is a great historian of these counties and how they evolved. Betty, there are Hoppers in my line as well. It seems that one group of Hoppers also moved into Warrick County, and married with the Wilsons. It would be interesting to see if this is the same family. We may be related in more ways than one! :) Gregory S.

It was always a "story" in our family that we were related to both presidents Adams and Wilson. So far nothing even close. My great grandma's mother was an Adams and her father was a Wilson. SO, you'd think my grandma would know right? After all it was HER grandparents. My Adams line came from Ireland and landed in SC before going on to White Co IL. My Wilson line came out of Chester Co. PA area and before that, no clue. Don't know their heritage. Came down into Loudou, Fauquier and Prince William Co's via Martinsbug and Harper's Ferry (Berkeley and Jefferson Co's WV) and ended up in White Co. IL. However I did find that through the Wilson line...... Which married a CHINN/BALL descendant that I am 1st cousin 9x removed from President Washington and a Mayflower Descendant. So that’s why I said earlier that DNA doesn't help those of us where the Wilson line has ended several years back. But if one of you who have done your DNA knew positive that you were related to Washington....... Then we could have something to talk about. That’s why DNA websites should have contact information and descendant information for those of use to check out.... And make contact with those people.

The mDNA is mother to mother all the way back. That means that the surname changes every generation. However both sons and daughters receive mDNA from the mother. The son's just don't pass their's on to their children. The daughter's do. You can use the Estes sample to test for your mother, her mother, etc. but not for the Wilson surname because that comes from your mom's father and she would have received her mDNA from her mother, not her father.

I did my testing through myFTDNA and have been getting some surprising results. The majority (by far!) of the names that I keep matching up with are St. Clair (or Sinclair, which is a corruption of St. Clair). In fact, so much so that the director of the Sinclair Research Project contacted me. There are supposedly 3 groups of Sinclair's, two of which they can trace and one that he calls a "mystery" group, and myself along with a few other Wilson's seem to have very close DNA matches. It appears that this group originated in Scotland (possibly moving to Ireland) before settling in Virginia pre-1700. Interestingly, there appears to be some evidence of the Wilsons & Sinclairs intermarrying in Scotland, but where & when has not been pinpointed. Anyway, it will be interesting to see where this line goes. That is the fascinating aspect of DNA testing, there are just so many surprises.
