Do you have relatives who would be interested enough to contribute to the total cost of the test? It would be a shame to let the opportunity pass. George

Is it possible to collect some sort of DNA sample for later use? There is only one male WILSON left of my line that I know of, and he is quite elderly Neither of have the funds to particpate at this point. He is the son of Johnathan William WILSON b-1853-Portsmouth, Scioto Co., OHIO. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

My Wilson line is from my grandmother Golda Ann Wilson-10/4/00 in Carroll CouOhio-she had 5 brothers her father was John Alexander Wilson born 1849 Jefferson County, Ohio, his father was Edward W. Wilson born in 1819 in Fayette County, Pa, (married Ann Maple), his father was William Wilson born in Maryland, died in Meigs County, Ohio in 1884 (married Elizabeth Pegg and her sister Susan married Peter Wilson born in 1800-???brothers), his father was Edward Wilson of Maryland..died in Mt Vernon, Ohio..........HELP does any of this sound familiar to anyone??? Thanks in advance, Sue Christensen in Maine SBC

Thanks! I appreciate your quick response. George

Steve: As you know, I am from the Highland County,Va area Wilsons. I am trying to find a male ancestor that I will pay for his tests. I am excited about these tests results. The last I found was in Pineville, WV. and died without children or descendants! Not one of the children married. He was a Justice of the Peace and the two sisters worked for the board of education, so they weren't stuck in the mountains with an excuse that they never met anyone. My line had 1 son, who drowned in Mobile Bay in 1910 and 4 girls that don't count as DNA participants. Onward we go. Keep up the good work. Pat Killian > > From: "Steven J.

That's what I've been trying to find in records at the library. There was a Wm. Wilson in, I think, Southampton Co., Va. who left things to a dtr. Katherine. Another person is working on this, too. I just can't afford to get involved in the DNA project when I don't even know, for sure, that I trace back to a Wilson. I couldn't spend money that way, anyway, as I have responsiblities in my family. Thanks for the suggestion, though, and your interest. J.H.

Did they have a son named Benjamin Ajax Wilson, born in 1820?

George, I forgot to mention that I was told the father of Hugh Wilson was John Wilson.

George, I have very little info. All I know is that the children of Hugh & Lydia Wilson appear on LDS as being born in Byberry, Philadelphia. The first born, Mary Rachel, married George Gray in 1828 in Chester County. I figured that Hugh & wife had moved to Chester County PA sometime before 1828. They lived in West Bradford in Chester county. Rachel moved to Pittsburgh after getting married and her parents & sibblings just disappeared. George Gray had lived in East Caln.

Do you have any information on the William born in 1807. Several Wilson families went from PA to Greene Co TN in the period of time from 1781 to 1799 with groups of settlers. There was a Hugh and also a William among others. George

The only son I know of was William in 1807.

Good Evening Wilson Researchers: I am here again with another plea for help with my brickwall. My grgrgrgrandmother,Dianna Elizabeth Wilson. Born 1810 Newberry, SC. She has also been known as, Annie,Dianne, and or Elizabeth Wilson. I believe she was daughter of Francis Wilson of Newberry, SC, he was possibly born in Ireland. She may have had a brother named Hugh Wilson who married a Spence. However I have no documented proof at this time. Dianna married a John Montgomery son of Robert Montgomery and Esther Spence all of Newberry, SC. Dianna Wilson and John Montgomery married when Dianna was 15, They had a daughter Mary Ann Montgomery shortly after their marriage. Unfortunately John Montgomery died on May 24th 1829, right before the birth of their second born, a son, John Calvin Montgomery. Ive yet to find a cause of death on John Montgomery or Dianna for that matter. Approximately 4 or 5 years after the death of John Montgomery, Dianna Wilson Montgomery married James J. Titus, they had 2 sons, William H. M. Titus and Francis J. M. Titus. Sometime shortly after the family moved to Marshall Co.. Tennessee near Palmetto. Last known residence for Dianna Wilson Montgomery Titus was Oct 5th, 1865 Farmington Tennessee. If you have anything at all to add, information large or small would be very much appreciated. Thanks and good luck to all of you! Dianne

Karol, to get a sample from a deceased person you would probably have to get permission from the court to open the grave and take a sample. George

Contact Steven J Zuraff at sjz@earthlink.net for the Wilson DNA project. He will give you prices and other particulars about the project. The more Wilsons who participate the better it will be. There are a lot of lines but eventually we will find a match. George

DNA can be secured from most any body parts, bones, hair, teeth, finger nails. The cheek swab for living persons is the easiest method being used now. George
