While the Wilson list is so hot, thought I'd interject my query. Does anyone have any info on one John A Wilson that married Charlotte COX in Barnegat, NJ prior to 1839? Their son, Sylvanus Cox Wilson, b 1839. Their grson, Earl Wilson lived in Orange, CT. in 1876. The Charlotte Cox Wilson family moved to Rhode Island in the 1860's. Any help much appreciated! Terri

Well, here's another two cents worth: As I understand it, you really can't connect from Wilson and Adams on down. You have to start with yourself and work back. Tough, but true. (My mother was convinced that she was descended from Queen Anne, none of whose children lived to grow up, by another line.) And there are so many Wilsons. Unfortunately, my sister cannot find male relatives to check on our surnames, except for one or two. You have to have a male relative with the surname WILSON, for instance. It can only tell you if there are any other Wilsons out there who have had the test and who are of the same line. Who knows, one of them might be related to Woodrow. I have forgotten if he had brothers or uncles who would have carried that Wilson line. I have a Wilson line on both sides, but I haven't connected with anybody yet. Anybody from VA, NC, TN? Maybe I'm on the wrong list.

Ed, I know very little about my Wilson line. Husbands mother was a Wilson. Are you telling me that I would be helpful if He had his DNA done even if his surname was not Wilson. Sorry to be so dumb about this DNA stuff. Thanks, Kay Adams

Looking for Ancestor Emory Wilson Born Abt 1837 married 1868 to Margaret Elizabeth Armstrong in Sarpy County, Nebraska. This is all I have. Would love to find his Ancestors. Have been searching forever. My Website is http://www.c-zone.net/autrey/

Hi, I am looking for information on my husbands Wilson line. His great-grandfather was supposedly named John Wilson,b: Aug 10, 1871 in Clark county, Illinois. His great-grandmother is said to have been named Alice Haddock, born around 1882. This couple came to Kansas by 1900 or so. But havent found them in Illinois information. Hoping someone out there, might have some information to share. I have been told by family members, that this line connects to a Gard family somewhere up the line(if that helps any at all). Any suggestions or leads would be appriciated. Thanks. Oh, on the discussion of DNA, I can see where it would be necessary in some cases. I come from a Harrison line, where my great-grandfather, after losing his wife to TB, and due to family disagreements between both families, he left the state, and changed his last name, to avoid arrest. If it wasnt for extended family members, telling me about this move, I would never have understood, how my grandfather, having been an only child, could have 2 half-brothers in another state. Wouldnt have known about their end of the Harrison line. And outside of the family there is no trace of the connection between this Harrison line, and a White family. Again, thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com

agree--but urge all males regardless of surname to have at least the 12 marker test done (that is--if they are serious abt getting solid in-out data to assist in subsequent research)--eg--in my case--had 12 marker test done--matched 12-12 w/27 people--2 named wilson and to best of my knowledge related to none--upp'ed test to 25 marker test to refine--now not unusual for the above as test data common to large segment of europe--so 1st step--12 marker-if have multiple matches--go to 25--see what happens--doing same thing on my mom's side--name grafs-grass--not sure as have no data prior to marriage of a daniel grafs in 1800 (name changed abt 1840 to grass )( had a 1st cuz -once removed w/grass surname tested-he had 24--12-12 matches--also upp'ed his to 25 and based on the multiple possibilities-requested and received authorization from www.familytreedna.com --to test any and all potential relatives under the --GRASS- dna project ( i am that project's adm ) and the testers will be able to get the project price discount--if you do--make sure you authorize any and all data to be public--if you haven't been tested and are interested--go to the site and see what they have to offer--if you want to be tested--consider the GRASS project -- and see what the data turns up as i have rec'd a request from australia re a potential 25 marker match--we match 12-12--he has 25 test done--mine--ecd 6-1-3--endless possibilities--but to me the dna route can be a tremendous assistance in family rersearch--ed wilson ----- Original Message ----- From: "gosnell" <gosnell@wnonline.net> To: <WILSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2003 5:56 AM Subject: [WILSON-L] Re: DNA Project > Pat, Only Males can do the DNA > test, because that that Chromezone(?) > is only passed from male to male. > > But I'm not a Wilson so I can't do it > to find my Wilson either. > > Harold > I can't find any Male Wilson Cousin's. > > > ==== WILSON Mailing List ==== > Search for wilson surname on all Rootsweb.com list. > http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ > >

Other surnames are doing DNA. It's a way to find out "which" line you come from. This seems especially popular with common surnames...... Wilson, Adams, Smith etc. Has nothing to do with WHO you came from but WHERE you came from.

Pat, Only Males can do the DNA test, because that that Chromezone(?) is only passed from male to male. But I'm not a Wilson so I can't do it to find my Wilson either. Harold I can't find any Male Wilson Cousin's.

Ya know it drives me nuts...... It was said in our family that we were related to both presidents Wilson and Adams and I have yet to find a connection. Reason? 2 part. One, my grandmother has passed and I started our genealogy from scratch "until" I discovered relatives that had all kinds of stuff and got my hands on some papers my great-aunt had. Second - I have brick walls on both Adams and Wilson lines. No parents etc. to even get me close to a "genealogy line". The only lineage on the presidents I've seen is from them back. How can one find who is related and see if some lines connect from them down.

I have have about six years researching six families that go back many years. Baste on information that I have on my Wilson site I have family members back to 1575.

I have been looking for several years to find Hiram Wilson born around 1850 whose father, Willard, was said to be a master mechanic on the New York Central railroad at one time. In the 1870's Hiram and his father (and perhaps mother and any other siblings) were located in or near Fort Worth, Texas. At some point, they were located in or around Goshen, N.Y. The problem is I find too many Hiram's and Willard's and cannot identify the specific two I am looking for. Who was Hiram's mother, where/when was Hiram born and where/when did he die? Any information about Hiram and Willard will be greatly appreciated. I am an author seeking this info for material to be used in a book. Specifically, I am trying to link the William Randolph Hearst family to the Wilson family via Hiram Wilson and several Hearst/Wilson marriages. Anyone supplying the requested info will be acknowledged in the book, if desired. Thank you.
