Our Wilson line originated in Virginia, and moved to Russell County, KY in the early 1800's. We eventually migrated into Warrick County, IN, which is where we still reside. Our line is R1b1a2 and the main haplogroup classification is RM-269. Does this general description fit into any other Wilson's out there? Best Wishes Gregg Gregory S.

You have to remember that to the general population DNA results mean nothing if we can't have ours checked/matched. My Wilson line may have originated somewhere around Chester Co. PA before coming down to the area of Prince William, Loudoun, Fauquier co's in Virginia.... Some moved on to Union Co. KY and others to White Co. IL in the mid 1800's. All closely matching your areas. While DNA is a great tool for those who have someone to do it....... Those of us who don't are out of luck. What we NEED is for those who have gotten theirs proven..... To come on these lists or in a Wilson (whatever surname) website and post their proven PEOPLE who have matched certain lines. Giving us Haplogroups and numbers mean nothing to us. If you are related to (example) Peter b. 1825 son of John and Mary.... M. Elizabeth Smith with XYZ children and HE is a match for the line of President Woodrow Wilson....... Then that is useful information. Be cause up till then....... Maybe I didn't know I was related to Woodrow Wilson but you and I have spoken and had a distant connection with our two Wilsons and you couldn't even see the connect to the President. Might make one go off in another direction but knowing you have a connection and I connect to you will keep me on the right path.

My Wilson family originated in Maryland, coming to Calhoun County Ar sometime in the 1840s or early 1850s. My great great grandfather's name is John Charles Wilson, born 1821 in Maryland. He married Sarah Ann Columbia Sudsbery in the mid 1850s. All that to say, that I have taken a dna test that traces both paternal and maternal lines. Let me know if my dna test would help anyone out. I have been told that our Wilson line came from Scotland..... some lived in Maryland and others in VA. Good to hear from all of you.

It has been a while since I have posted to ask for and give info on my husband's Wilson line. His name was Harry Keith Wilson, and his family has original documents dating from the late 1700's. Harry spent two years scanning his documents into his computer and then onto a CD. While I don't much info from the Internet such as census records, the info I do have is from original sources such as bills of sale, notebooks, deeds, Bibles, and the like. These people saved everything. There are also a number of bills of sale for slaves and wills with the names of slaves in them. Harry's DNA kit is 34112: Joseph Wilson b. UNK; died 1822, Jasper County, GA. Harry thought that Joseph's father was Benjamin Wilson who died in 1787 in Jackson County, GA. I don't believe that he had proof of that in his family papers. He did not list Benjamin's wife's name. I will add all the info on different counties that is available. Joseph Wilson married Sarah Pennington 1789 in Oglethorpe County, GA. Their children were the following. Sarah's father, Able Pennington, died in Tuscalossa, AL, in 1819. Micah Wilson b. 1799 in Georgia, county unknown, and died 1863 in Wilkerson County, GA: m. William Land Flemister. William's father was Lewis Flemister, guard to George Washington. Lewis was b. VA and d. Wilkes County, GA. Mary Grant Wilson b. 1800 in Georgia; married John Finney Dismukes in Quitman County, GA, in 1817. No info on John Dismukes family though I know some of them ended up in south Arkansas. Temperance Wilson d. Jasper County, GA, as a child: 1804. Able Pennington Wilson b. Jasper County, GA, 1803. Died 1862 Monticello, Drew County, AR. (Family lore states that Able lived in Monticello, GA, and when he moved to AR, he lived at Rough and Ready and was instrumental in changing that name to Monticello. There are different stories as to the AR town's name, however.) Able married Elizabeth Jane Morgan in Jasper County, GA, in 1845. She is not the daughter of Gen. John Hunt Morgan as some are lead to believe. Her parents are Stokley and Mary "Polly" Evans. Stokely was b. NC and died Jasper County, GA. No more info on Mary. Aisley Armstrong Wilson b. 1805, no place of birth or death..and no death date. She married James C. Flemister in 1821 in Jasper County, GA. No birth or death place for James. Same Flemister info as above. Lucy W. Wilson b. 1807, no place stated, and d. in Drew County, AR., married Lewis Flemister, no other info on him though it is the same as the above Flemister. Joseph Armstrong Wilson...yes, two children had the middle name of Armstrong, and Harry didn't know why. Joseph b. 1809, no other info. Married Nancey Weathersby, no other info. (Harry didn't trust info from anyone else, and I guess if a person has a boatload of original sources, everything else seems suspect. However, there are a lot of holes here that I need to fill in.) Janey Bird Wilson b. 1813, no other info; married Thomas Tuggle who was b. Greene Conty, GA. Thomas'' father was Robert b. VA; died Jasper County, GA. Benjamin Jackson Wilson; b. 1814. He married Sarah Brewer. I have a contact person for anyone from line. Elizabeth Horton Wilson b. 1818, GA; death date unknown but probably in Harris County, GA. Rebecca Smith Wilson died as a child in Jasper County, GA. I have children for all of these people if anyone is interested. I know that the Wilson's owned land in Wilkes County, GA, as well...perhaps other places. If I remember correctly, Joseph Wilson lived close to Murder Creek in Monticello, GA. There are literally hundreds of other surnames from deeds, witnesses, etc., that are in the papers. They are indexed, so if you have somebody in Jasper County, GA, let me know, and I'll look to see if there is anything in the papers. Linda Miller Wilson Also: Sarah Leain Wilson b. 1811; m. Jack Johnson; no other info. Linda Miller Wilson P. O. Box 129 Pettigrew, AR 72752 479-677-2681 **

Dear Gregg, I have been really interested in your messages. The Davidson clan that I also follow has told me that they really are only interested in the male line, but there is a female DNA testing that can provide some results. Can one test be used for both the Davidson and the Wilson line? My paternal grandmother Humphrey was a Davidson before she married and her father and mother were Wilson. The Davidson line was southern Indiana, not sure where the Wilsons come in. Thank you for any information.

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. If I can be of any further help to your research, I will be happy to send you my DYS values or other information. Best wishes Gregg Gregory S.

*My husband's name was Harry Keith Wilson. Here is a link to some of the information from original documents that belong to his family. His family has papers dating to the late 1700's. Harry spent two years transcribing them and putting them on a cd. * ** * His dna kit number is 34112. I will dig out the info on his haplo. There is one good match, Samuel Wilson which can be seen next to Joseph Wilson, b. unk; died 1822 in Jasper Co., GA, who is Harry's ancestor. A descendant of Samuel Wilson told me that she believes that Samuel's father was Benjamin Wilson who died in Savannah, Georgia. His mother is said to be Sarah MacFarland. Also, one Victor Neesse was a perfect match, but I haven't followed up with him on the connection. If I recall correctly..and it has been several years since I worked on this...Victor's family was from Georgia also. Some of the surnames from Harry's family in Georgia are the following: Pennington, Morgan, Burns, Flemister, Dismukes, Weathersbee, Johnson, Eiland, Tuggle, Gibbs, and Brewer. Harry didn't have a lot of info on some of these lines, but I am happy to help in any way if someone needs help. Because Harry had so many family papers, most of the information he had in his family tree was not taken from the Internet but from actual family documents. There are almost no census records in his info as he died before he could research this source. (I should get on that.) It's an amazing collection of papers, some of which can be seen below. * http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gajasper/indextowilsonpapers.htm I will repost under a different subject in order to stir up some interest in Wilson's from Georgia.

  Still hoping to find info on my Wilson/Willson line. 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.   Never giving up hope, Paula

I am really excited now with all the postings.  I have another Wilson line, which was James Deport Wilson from SC > Ga > to Autauga and Coosa counties Alabama This could get  really  interesting. --- On Thu, 1/12/12, Linda Miller Wilson <lindamiller.wilson129@gmail.com> wrote: From: Linda Miller Wilson <lindamiller.wilson129@gmail.com> Subject: [WILSON] Wilson families from Jasper and other counties in Georgia To: wilson@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, January 12, 2012, 2:13 PM It has been a while since I have posted to ask for and give info on my husband's Wilson line.  His name was Harry Keith Wilson, and his family has original documents dating from the late 1700's.  Harry spent two years scanning his documents into his computer and then onto a CD.  While I don't much info from the Internet such as census records, the info I do have is from original sources such as bills of sale, notebooks, deeds, Bibles, and the like. These people saved everything.  There are also a number of bills of sale for slaves and wills with the names of slaves in them. Harry's DNA kit is 34112: Joseph Wilson b. UNK; died 1822, Jasper County, GA.  Harry thought that Joseph's father was Benjamin Wilson who died in 1787 in Jackson County, GA.  I don't believe that he had proof of that in his family papers.  He did not list Benjamin's wife's name. I will add all the info on different counties that is available. Joseph Wilson married Sarah Pennington 1789 in Oglethorpe County, GA. Their children were the following. Sarah's father, Able Pennington, died in Tuscalossa, AL, in 1819. Micah Wilson  b. 1799 in Georgia, county unknown, and died 1863 in Wilkerson County, GA: m. William Land Flemister. William's father was Lewis Flemister, guard to George Washington.  Lewis was b. VA and d. Wilkes County, GA. Mary Grant Wilson b. 1800 in Georgia; married John Finney Dismukes in Quitman County, GA, in 1817.  No info on John Dismukes family though I know some of them ended up in south Arkansas. Temperance Wilson d. Jasper County, GA, as a child: 1804. Able Pennington Wilson b. Jasper County, GA, 1803.  Died 1862 Monticello, Drew County, AR.  (Family lore states that Able lived in Monticello, GA, and when he moved to AR, he lived at Rough and Ready and was instrumental in changing that name to Monticello. There are different stories as to the AR town's name, however.)  Able married Elizabeth Jane Morgan in Jasper County, GA, in 1845.  She is not the daughter of Gen. John Hunt Morgan as some are lead to believe.  Her parents are Stokley and Mary "Polly" Evans.  Stokely was b. NC and died Jasper County, GA.  No more info on Mary. Aisley Armstrong Wilson b. 1805, no place of birth or death..and no death date.  She married James C. Flemister in 1821 in Jasper County, GA. No birth or death place for James.  Same Flemister info as above. Lucy W. Wilson b. 1807, no place stated, and d. in Drew County, AR., married Lewis Flemister, no other info on him though it is the same as the above Flemister. Joseph Armstrong Wilson...yes, two children had the middle name of Armstrong, and Harry didn't know why. Joseph b. 1809, no other info. Married Nancey Weathersby, no other info.  (Harry didn't trust info from anyone else, and I guess if a person has a boatload of original sources, everything else seems suspect.  However, there are a lot of holes here that I need to fill in.) Janey Bird Wilson b. 1813, no other info; married Thomas Tuggle who was b. Greene Conty, GA. Thomas'' father was Robert b. VA; died Jasper County, GA. Benjamin Jackson Wilson; b. 1814.  He married Sarah Brewer.  I have a contact person for anyone from line. Elizabeth Horton Wilson b. 1818, GA; death date unknown but probably in Harris County, GA. Rebecca Smith Wilson died as a child in Jasper County, GA. I have children for all of these people if anyone is interested.  I know that the Wilson's owned land in Wilkes County, GA, as well...perhaps other places.  If I remember correctly, Joseph Wilson lived close to Murder Creek in Monticello, GA. There are literally hundreds of other surnames from deeds, witnesses, etc., that are in the papers.  They are indexed, so if you have somebody in Jasper County, GA, let me know, and I'll look to see if there is anything in the papers.  Linda Miller Wilson Also: Sarah Leain Wilson b. 1811; m.

Pat, Bob, Gregg: I have enjoyed reading your emails attesting to the help you've had from DNA testing. 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 counties 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. See my personal email, below.

Hello, My quest involves any Wilson family of Montgomery County, NY. Oldest known patriarch is Henry Wilson. Time period is from 1834 to 1930. While Henry was not a 100 years old when he died, Descendants of his family or descendants of his relatives may have family information, journals/diaries and as photography became widely available, pictures of a house called the Butler place. Built in 1743 it is on the National Register, uncovering the history of it's owners is the reason for this search. Happy to exchange information with those that have connection to this family. Sincerely, Rick Porter Finger Lakes House Histories

I will be sure to post when the results are back. I am not sure how long it takes.It was sent probably the end of Novemeber. --- On Thu, 1/12/12, Robert Wilson <reodiat@sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: Robert Wilson <reodiat@sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: [WILSON] DNA To: wilson@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, January 12, 2012, 10:24 AM Hey Gregg,   Thanks for posting your DNA and main haplogroup also.

I can't begin to tell everyone what the DNA test meant to my husband's family. He had the test before he died and did not have a hit; however, there was a match a couple of years later. We discovered that a cousin of his great grandfather had lived in the same county that my husband had moved to and had lived in for forty years. There was even a letter from the 1850's in the family that referred to this cousin though no one knew where he was. This Wilson line is from Jasper County, GA, and some moved to Drew County, AR, about 1843: Joseph Wilson, Able Pennington Wilson...moved to AR., George Wilson, Woodrow Wilson, and my late husband Harry Keith Wilson. I have probably written about this previously but just wanted to emphasize the importance of DNA. Also, on my mother's side, DNA connected our Stewart line back to VA. Our ancestor had left VA to NC as a child because his father had died, and an extended family member had guardianship of him. The VA line had been looking for him for a hundred years.

Hello, I apologize for repeating this post, but house research leads from Magdalene Wilson to John Wilson, and looking for any information on Miss Wilson leads me to NJ. Miss Wilson from the town of Mohawk, in Montgomery County, NY. Since she never married, my hope is that some one related to John Butler of Jersey City may be able to shed some light on her. Unfortunately John died before she did in 1929, it maybe possible that when she died her family papers may have been sent to John's wife or to a relative of hers in Jersey City. Miss Wilson was the daughter of Henry Wilson, and he purchased a house the family owned for over one hundred years. The house has quite a history being over 200 years old, and the Wilson s were the longest owners of it. In 1886 a local historian and painter did 2 pictures that are in the archives of the state. Happy to exchange information with anyone whose research has a connection to either individual or family. Sincerely, Rick Porter Finger Lakes House Histories
