It's been a while since I've had any new clues on my Wilson line. My father can't get his cousin to agree to the test (afraid of the gov. is his response). I have heard about the mDNA test but need clarification..My father a Estes by birth (male line) his mother was a Wilson..can I use the same DNA sample that was used to test his Estes lineage to also test his Wilson line or does that have to come from a female like myself who would actually be the granddaughter of the Wilson line? As a recap..My Wilson line currently is in Boone Co., Arkansas. My grandmother was born in Stilwell, Ok. But this is not the home location of her father's (my great grandfather's) line. My great grandfather was actually born in Manchester, Scott County, Illinois as was his father. Now my Wilson line going back to my 4x's great grandfather or from 1839 ish -1900 lived on the family farm in Manchester, Scott Co., Illinois. My line moved to Webb City, Jasper County, Missouri around the 1890's. Prior to moving to the Manchester, Scott County, Illinois my 4 x's great grandfather is known to have been born in Kentucky..location currently unknown. I however have one clue in that his wife (lucky for me came from a family who has been documented in books) she was Keziah Tunnell, hers mother's maiden name was Money. Keziah Money Tunnell is said to have been born near Elizabethtown, Kentucky, her family settled near Murrayville, Kentucky in 1829. I'm hoping to find evidence that my Wilson line may have been in this same vicinity and is where my 4 x's great grandparents met. 1839 is when the two married in Illinois and settled in Manchester, Illinois. So if anyone has any clues for this line of Wilson's I would love to hear from you, I know there are a lot of new members out there looking to learn where they came from..I've been around for a while but am currently stuck. Also if someone can clarify the mDNA testing as it would pertain to my father's sample I would appreciate that. Roberta Estes Hall p.s. my husband's Hall line is from Switzerland Co., Indiana so it was fun to see that location pop up as I have been there in my past adventures.

The clarification I need in reference to mDNA  ie: My grandmother was a Wilson, my mother was  Morrison. So does this gives lineage to Morrison's only and does it matter that no other mDNA results are there to compare it to, or is it matched to all DNA regardless if it came from male or female.  I guess I am too technical.  I can understand YDNA but MDNA confuses me.   Pat   --- On Fri, 1/13/12, roberta hall <jhallvoyager@att.net> wrote: From: roberta hall <jhallvoyager@att.net> Subject: [WILSON] clarify for me please....it's been a while To: Wilson@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, January 13, 2012, 9:39 AM It's been a while since I've had any new clues on my Wilson line.

Forgive me if my email is redundant.... I have sent two so far but do not see them in the newsletters I have gotten. So, here goes. I am related to John Charles Wilson, b. 1821 in Maryland === died in Calhoun County, AR. I can give more information if anyone would find it helpful. I have taken a dna test, offered me by Ancestry.com, that tests maternal and paternal lines. I hope to find out more about the Maryland/Scotland connection. It seems as if my family were dropped in the middle of Ar and left there. Most left the area within a generation. Clearly, they were not cut out for farming. Thank you, Kathrn McCormick Bensongranddaughter of William Franklin Wilsongreat granddaughter of William Alexander Wilsongreat great granddaughter of John Charles Wilson

Hi Jan & Gregg, Jan, it's been a long time since we corresponded about our Wilson's. Now maybe we can get back into it. I'll look up and see what I have on your husband's family. Gregg & I have been corresponding also, and maybe by adding another person to the search, we can find out more. I have Wilson's on both my mom & dad's sides of the family, all from Russell County, KY. They are also related on the Hopper lines. There are so many Wilson's in Russell, and surrounding counties, but I believe they are probably all related somewhere along the line. Will email you off-list with more info. In the meantime, if anyone out there have ties to Russell County, KY, you can email me at bwadeputnam@fairpoint.net and we'll all work together on this.

Gregg: My name is Jan Wilson and I am a co-administrator of the Reynolds and the Moses DNA projects (on my mother's side.) 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.

Going thru a packet of Genealogy stuff I received by postal mail with no name and/or return address, I found an old yellowing obit for a Hugh Tillman Wilson 72, a former judge buried in Andrews, Texas. No DOD was given but I have a DOB of 8/22/1895 in St. Jo, Texas. I am trying to find more information because in the list of survivors are people on my Wilson side. He was buried in the Andrews, Texas cemetery.

Hi Mary, First, please anybody correct me if I am in error! DNA testing follows the paternal line, but you can request a different test for your maternal side. There is a mtDNA test that can trace your direct maternal line, and I "think" that this can be done through a standard Y-DNA test. However, if somebody has married into your family (for instance, my great-grandmother's last name was Cromean), it is not possible for me to trace her line through my DNA test. I would need to have Cromean male relative have a DNA test completed, and then I would be able to trace those results. Again, anybody, please correct me if I am in error. It would not be the first time today! :) Gregg Gregory S.

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.

I had my DNA tested by FTDNA, 7 or 8 years ago (I've forgotten just when). To date I've not found anyone who seems to match me. Over the years I've updated my range from 12 markers to 37, then to 67 a couple years ago. My HaploGroup is R1b1, and is green on the FTDNA Wilson Project list (see website following:) http://www.familytreedna.com/public/wilson/default.aspx?section=ycolorized I am Kit Number 18959, which is about 2/3s down the long page. My Paternal Ancestor Name is: John Wilson b.8 Mar 1813 in Indiana [and more particularly in Switzerland County, Indiana]. After looking at this chart a few days ago, my cousin sent the money to have them do a "deep clade" search. (I have no idea what that is, but it is apparently a more accurate comparison.) My cousin, several years ago, had discovered the "Robert Wilson d.1768 in Augusta Co., VA" in Ancestry.com's Millennium Files, Listed there as a child was a Robert Wilson, born 1745; that seemed to fit with a Rev. War soldier, Robert Wilson, born 1745, which we are researching for our 4G Wilson grandfather (lots of clues, but not fully proven yet). But my DNA on the above list, doesn't seem to match with that of "Robert Wilson d.1768, in Augusta Co., VA." (I probably need to talk to experts at FTDNA to explain yes or no on that possible line.) Now let me outline my Wilson ancestry. John Wilson (as mentioned; my 2G grandfather) was supposedly born in 8 Mar 1813 in Switzerland Co., IN. He married there 2 Apr 1835 to Mahala Scott. They had 3 or 4 children there, then moved about 1841-42 to Holt Co., MO, where they had 7 more, the 10th being James Thomas Wilson, my 1G grandfather, born 16 Apr 1850. In 1851 they followed the O. T. to Oregon; all 10 of their children made it to Oregon, and they had 3 more there. Nowhere did anyone mention John's parents, or siblings. Looking at Indiana for parents/siblings, I found a book listing Rev. War Soldiers buried in Indiana. There was an entry for a Robert Wilson, born 1745 in Augusta Co., VA, who had lived in Dearborn, Switzerland, Wayne, Henry, and Hancock Counties, Indiana, and who was presumed to be buried in Hancock Co., IN. He seemed a likely candidate for the Robert Wilson who had bought land from the GLO in 1813 Switzerland Co., IN, only 1 mile away from the land of Mahala Scott's parents. I still can't prove it, but this Robert Wilson b.1745 seems a likely candidate for my 4G Wilson grandfather. But that left open my 3G grandfather. Since my 2G, John and Mahala named their first child William M., I concluded they had followed the Irish practice of naming your first son after your father---and deduced that my 3G must be named William. And I subsequently found one bouncing around Hancock Co., IN, that seems to fit. Lots of clues, to numerous to list, point to this particular William Wilson being my 3G Wilson grandfather, including a discovery within the past year (on an Ancestry.com list of marriages in the three northern coun! ties of Kentucky) that Robert Wilson gave consent for his son, William Wilson, to marry Catey McCorkle, on 19 March 1807, in Boone Co., KY. (Can't prove it, yet, but it sure looks like my Robert and my William. And Boone Co., KY, is right across the Ohio River from Switzerland Co., IN.) One of the history books for Hancock Co., IN, notes that a Robert Wilson died in his 105th year. Although not totally proven, I have no doubt that he is Robert Wilson, Rev. War soldier, shown as such in the 1840 census for Hancock Co., IN, and shown as 95 at that census. So, if you are researching any Wilsons from that area, please contact me.

That's the same problem I have, Larry. Not being able to tell who is the new person! I keep telling myself that one of these days I'm going to sit down and really concentrate on each one of the names that is supposedly a match and see how it could be. I did that several years ago where there were only two or three--I never had any luck finding a documented paper match.

Paula, I know how you feel about the SC-originating Wilsons. They are an impossible group to nail down. I'd give my eye tooth to find the name of my g-g-grandfather's father and mother. And some siblings . . . I feel that some of you are related, but how to prove it? I've thought of finding everything I can find on the Wilson's in SC and chasing down those families until I find the right ones. HOWEVER, some of you are already doing just that with your lines . . . with little to no luck . . . My g-g-grandfather John Ambrose Wilson, was born about 1788 in SC or on the Atlantic Ocean, depending on which original record you look at. He supposedly served in the War of 1812 (no records found so far for either side). He supposedly had a child, Oliver in NY in 1817 (death cert. shows NY as birth place). The next known child was born 1824 (David and then Bradford in 1825) in Ontario, Canada with 6 more born there after that. There are three more unaccounted-for kids that I feel fit in those seven missing years between 1817 and 1824. John married Polly (Mary?) Brooks, born 1799. (I know of at least one Brooks Family member living in Detroit, Michigan.He never married.) A couple of John's kids moved to Michigan, namely my G-grandfather, John Ambrose Wilson Jr, and Elias. There is also a John Ambrose Wilson #3 and #4 and #5, all born in Michigan. Thankfully the next generation has NOT used that name. The youngest, #5 is now nearly 50 and never married. I lucked out and found two cousins in Ontario from two different lines. One has traded all her info on the Ontario group for all my info on the Michigan group. Luckily, she is also a family historian. Nothing more known on John and Polly from her. As time goes on, I find a little tidbit on this family here and there. It all helps to fit together the pieces of the puzzle. I just can't figure what this family would have been doing in Brooklyn, NY area in 1817! Found an Oliver in that county in NY, but can't prove nor disprove that it is my Oliver. So many lose ends . . . Any thoughts on where to look next?

Most likely I'll never be able to find my Wilsons who were in SC in late 1700's to mid 1800's but I have to keep trying. Instead of moving from an unknown SC location to Walker Co GA by 1843, could they have first settled in a nearby GA county and then moved to Walker Co GA for the 1850 West Amunchee, GA census? William Wilson was born ca 1800 in SC; married a Sarah unknown, born ca 1800-1810 in SC. Probably married in SC. The first 4 or 5 of his children were born there so I'm guessing they moved to GA between 1841 & 1843. He must have had brothers, but who were they and where did they reside? Did William follow family/friends to GA from SC? Have no earthly idea what Sarah's maiden name could have been or where she was from. NAMES OF WILLIAM'S CHILDREN: Benjamin W. E. Wilson (ca 1829 SC); Mary M. (ca 1837 SC); Abbey L. (ca 1838 SC); Martha A. (ca1839 SC); James (ca 1841 SC); Susy/Suzy C. (ca 1843 GA); Jerry M (ca 1845 GA) ; Minerva/Manerva J. (ca 1847 GA); Sarah E. (ca 1849 GA); and Abraham/Abram (ca 1851-1852 GA). Sarah died between 1851 and 186, either in GA or AL. William and those still left at home were in DeKalb Co AL by 1860 and I believe that he was living in the home of his daughter, Minerva/Manerva Wilson Windrix/Wendrick for the 1870 Jackson Co AL census.

It is good to see so many Wilson's having their DNA tested. My Wilson's have been in Henry and Pittsylvania Counties in Virginia since the early 1800's. I didn't have documentation for matches to the numerous other Wilson families in the area. I didn't match them but did match Wilsons in Texas, Missouri and Iowa. The ones in Texas and Missouri had traced the family back to just down the Great Wagon Road to near Greensboro, North Carolina. Others in my family line had been back and forth over many generations. So the DNA trail went thousands of miles away back to just down the road. The family lore my Dad knew had his Grandfather spending the Civil War with relatives in North Carolina around Greensboro. Related families happened to have also moved to Texas and Missouri from the Danville area. My line is not totally complete but goes like this: William Hassell Wilson born 1889 near Danville, VA. His middle name honored the Primitive Baptist theologian Sylvester Hassell from North Carolina. William Henderson Wilson born 1849, lived near Danville, VA Morgan J. Willson born 1813, lived near Martinsville, VA .......... Missing Thomas Willson born 1719 in Warren, NJ. He moved with his extended family to Abbotts Creek, North Carolina (between Lexington and Greensboro). His son was on a the deed for a Quaker Church property there.

I joined the Wilson DNA group and had my DNA tested six or seven years ago. It has been a very frustrating experience. My most distant documented ancestor is David Wilson (1774 - 1851). According to two census records, he was born in Virginia (1850) or Ireland (1880). I identified four Wilson men who purchased land in Borden's Grant circa 1740. (Rockbridge Co today). He was a Presbyterian (Scotch-Irish) and he lived in Tennessee for all of his adult life. I periodically receive messages that a "match has been found," but when I go to the main page, I cannot determine which of the numerous people listed is the "new" person. The long and short, after this time, I have never been able to match a known name with anyone in my family. I did use it to prove that there was not a relationship that I had long suspected of kinship. Larry R1b1a2

There is a suggestion in a book that my Wilson has a remarkable resemblance to President Woodrow Wilson and we have an autographed Photograph of him, given long before Xerox much less scanners perhaps 1930 or 40's before me anyway.  So to come close  to President Wilson, would boast my genes to explosion. I am excited to see some activity on the website again.  Thanks for all your input. Surely it won't be long now and I can compare results to yours. With the experience I see,  I know I will have some expert opinions to help me.  You all will know as soon as I know.    This is the only way for us all to come to some conclusions and answers to our questions is DNA testing, which is the best up to now.  Wonder what the future holds!.   Thanks.   Pat --- On Thu, 1/12/12, Janean Ray <jray38@neo.rr.com> wrote: From: Janean Ray <jray38@neo.rr.com> Subject: Re: [WILSON] DNA To: wilson@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, January 12, 2012, 1:36 PM You have to remember that to the general population DNA results mean nothing if we can't have ours checked/matched.
