I do not think that the name Burgess was used as a name by the Wilsons. In using the name John (Burgess) Wilson was because he was a member of the VA House of Burgess from 1745 to 1773.

> Windy, and the List; I have long sought information concerning a Richard Wilson aproximate dates 1745-1800. So far no clues as to where he was before appearing in North Carolina with wife Elizabeth Reed Wilson. Family oral history places him in Augusta Co. VA, prior to coming to what was then Rowan County NC. He had a deed registerd for lands on Potts Creek as early as 1783, believed to have been here much earlier with children Robert, Mary and Elizabeth. Perhaps he traveled with the Reed's from New Jersy, or perhaps met his bride in VA, we don't know. Just wondering if there were any names listed in your research for a Richard Wilson. I know that Augusta County had a large number of the Scot-Irish immigrants living there, and a large number of Wilsons, but we have never found any recorded information to take this line back to it's roots in Europe.

Please forgive me for being somewhat off the subject of genealogy, but I feel a heavy burden on my heart to shout from the rooftop and warn parents about the danger of sandpiles. List administrator, please, please allow me to post this message. If you have a sandpile in your yard or nearby, please watch your children and talk to them about the danger. I have talked to many adults who didn't realize themselves that there was a danger. My son was the victim of a sandpile collaspe on February 9, 2001. He was buried for we know two hours, prounounced dead, and resurrected again by our heavenly father. Now whether you believe in God or not is your choice, so please don't feel like I am forcing my belief of God on you, but please be aware that sandpiles are dangerous. When our story was published in the newspaper and aired on "It's A Miracle" the message was two-fold. First, to let people know that miracles still happen today and secondly to warn others about sandpiles. I guess we all ask the question Why do some outcomes differ but only our God in heaven has the answer. This past Tuesdaay, October 8, another child was the victim of a sandpile collaspe, but his outcome was not a happy ending. In 15 minutes or less, effort to save his life were unfruitful. This the story that was reported by the Abilene (TX) reporter news. Please pass this story to your family, friends, and tell anyone that you know has a sandpile. Funeral arrangements are pending for Eric Shoe, a 13-year-old Eastland boy who died Wednesday night after being accidentally buried in sand for several minutes. Officials with the Eastland County Sheriff's Office said that Shoe and a friend were trespassing Tuesday night at a cement plant on Highway 3101, where they had been playing in a sand pile. The pair were tunneling on opposite sides of the pile when Shoe's end collapsed, burying him from the waist up in damp sand. Officials said that the friend tried to save Shoe, but could not pull him out of the damp sand. The friend flagged down a motorist, who performed CPR on Shoe and called emergency personnel. Shoe may have been buried in the sand anywhere from 5 to 15 MINUTES, officials said. ===== Researching: WEST/TUCKER/TAYLOR/GOBER/JAMES/FLEMING/REYNOLDS/WOMACK Email Address: hillsters@bwoodtx.com texashillster@yahoo.com mhill@hputx.edu __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi Janice, I can't help with the Burgess question. Are you talking about the same John Burgess Wilson whose son is Lt. Col. George Wilson? The reason I ask is that Lt. Col. George Wison lived in Romney, WV(then VA). He and his son Capt. John Wilson served in the PA 8th Regiment in the Revolutionary War. My 4th GGrandparent served under these two. His name John Guthrie, whose daughter Lydia Guthrie married William Done Peters. William's sister was Sarah SACKETT Peters. So, I was curious where you think the Sackett name came from? There are "B"'s in a lot of the PETERS names ==> BIRD and BOLIVAR. The BIRD name is from Augusta/Shenandoah, VA area...don't know about the BOLIVAR (seems there was a Spanish Abolitionist BOLIVAR who freed slaves in Mexico/South America).

I would love to help you, but my info on the Wilson line is very limited prior to 1790. I have a James Wilson who married a Lucretia Griffith, ca 1760. I believe this union to have taken place in Rowan Co., NC. Lucretia Griffith's father was Mathusalem Griffith who was in Auguata Co., VA where he died & his will was recorded 11 Sep 1749. His widow married James Burke, & James moved the family from VA to Rowan Co., NC. James Burke dies 1782, in Surry Co., NC., & in his will refers to his step daughter, Lucretia Griffith Wilson. There is a Griffith family Bible, & in the Bible, it lists the children of James Wilson, & Lucretia Griffith. My ancestor was Jesse Wilson son of James, & Jesse was b. 1776. My James Wilson appears in the 1790 Burke Co., NC., census. I know this James Wilson to be mine, because next door to him are two of his daughters who married Jehu Lawler, & Joel Handcock. The next appearance of the family is in Anderson Co.,TN., 1802 tax list. My problem has been who did my Jesse marry. I know only that her first name was Elizabeth. I believe that my Jesse married into a family which was political, & had money. Jesse was a Daniel Boone type, who moved from Anderson Co., TN to Rutherford Co., TN., Madison Co., AL., Shelby Co., AL., & died quite young in Dallas Co., AL. Jesse had a son named William A. Wilson. Jesse also had a brother Benjamin. All of Benjamin's children are named for people who marrried into the Wilson family, i.e. James Baker Wilson, Joel Hand cock Wilson, etc. My William A. Wilson named a set of twins, Adolphus Taylor Wilson & Lucien Marcus Wilson. There were Taylors in AL., where my Wilson lived, so I was back tracking thru TN to see if I could find a Taylor/Wilson union, when I found the reference in the Book about the Taylors of Hawkins Co., TN. I do not know if my James Wilson & Lucretia Griffith knew each other before NC., but the John Wilson mentioned in the book was in the area of Virginia that the Griffith's were & in the proper timeframe. I am hoping for a link to the Wilsons of VA., so I came find a home for my James. Thanks for the msg. Ann Corum

Here is a long shot. But would like to confer with you regarding John Wilson and Rockbridge Co. I am of the John Wilson/Elizabeth Travers Chinn union of Middleburg VA, Loudoun Co. Pres. Zachary Taylor was the grandson of Elizabeth Lee daughter of Sarah Allerton and Hancock Lee. Sarah Allerton is the granddaughter of the Mayflower passenger Isaac Allerton. His other daughter Francis Allerton (Sarah's sister) married Samuel Travers. Their daughter Elizabeth Travers was the greatgrandmother of Elizabeth Travers Chinn who married a Wilson as stated above. SOOOO Elizabeth Travers Chinn (Wilson) and Pres. Zachary Taylor are 3rd cousins once removed. I have reason to believe that the John Wilson you speak of in August Co. Rockbridge might be my missing link to the ancestors of my John Wilson. Another researcher "Bob Wilson" recently sent me this: Hi - I have found a very slim "maybe" as to John Wilson. In the early 1700's John Wilson "old Burgess" and Dr. Thomas Wilson settled in Fairfield, Rockbridge Co. Virginia. Another brother, Matthew, died on the voyage from England. His three sons - James (1715-1809) Moses, and Joshua survived. One of these could have been John Wilson's (1772-1821) father or grandfather. In 1731 1000 acres in Middleburg was surveyed for Rawleigh CHinn father of Elizabeth Travers Chinn. It was known as "the Burgess". Could these Wilsons have known the Chinns? From that I get a response on line from Sandy Wilson: I was wondering where you obtained the information about Old Burgess Wilson and his brother. Wondering if this information came from the book entitled "The Wilson Family" published by the American Genealogical Research Institute, Arlington, Virginia. On page 34 it states...... And then she almost identically quotes what my cousin researcher sent me above. In my research on Burgess. I found Col. John Wilson d. 1773 72 years of age - serving 27 yrs as a Representative in the Honorable House of Burgess. His Wife Martha d. 10 July 1755 at 60 they are buried in Glebe Graveyard. This information was found in Google.com "House of Burgesses" "John Wilson" Virginia. www.rootsweb.com/~vaaugust/glebe.html Glebe Cemetery, August County, Virginia. I just have a feeling we can work together on this to make a connection. Janean

To list readers, I wonder if any readers of this list have been researching WILSON surname. I trying to find any information regarding a George WILSON a merchant in Nashville TN sometime in the 1840s (or thereabouts). I know for a fact that he was "an English gentleman", that he married Eugenia G Kingsley in June 1836, and later had to raise three small children of his (all under the age of 4 years) when his wife died suddenly in 1841. It would seem that someone from England living in Nashville at that time would have received some attention in documented history of the period in Tennessee, especially Nashville as it probably did not have a large population. davidk

The following is from the East TN Historical Society's Publication # 11-12, 1939-40: "Nathaniel Taylor was b. on Mill creek near Lexington in Rockbridge Co., VA, 4 Feb 1771, s/o Andrew & Ann (Wilson) Taylor. His grandfathers were Isaac Taylor & John Wilson who had settled in that neighborhood when it was still (1740) a part of Augusta Co. -----------After coming to this country Andrew Taylor married his cousin, Elizabeth Wilson, by whom he had four children, Isaac, Matthew, Andrew and Elizabeth. Following the death of his first wife he married in 1770 her sister, Ann Wilson. Nathaniel Taylor was the first child and only son of this marriage." This line of Taylors migrated to East TN. My line of Wilson also migrated to East TN. Does anyone have any info on this line of Wilsons? I have an Adolphus Taylor Wilson in my line, & was wondering where the Taylor link comes in. Thanks Ann Corum

Roberta - I don't know if anyone has answered your request, but the listing for Nathaniel Shannon is from the "Original Scots Colonists:Supplement 1607-1707" on page 155 and reads as follows: "SHANNON, NATHANIEL, SCS member Boston, 1691. [SCS]". The title page reads "Scots on the Chesapeake 1607 - 1830".

I have a cousin who is doing a research project and needs some help. This doesn't have anything to do with the Wilson's other than I am connected to the Shannon family thru marriage. So if you don't what to read this now is the time to delete my message. :-) Does anyone have access to the Family Tree Makers subscription "International & Passengers Records"? I don't have access to it but know a family member is listed on it. The name is Nathaniel Shannon and I was hoping if someone has the subscription they could open it to see if it is our family member. We know Nathaniel Shannon arrived in Boston in 1687. Don't know the name of the ship. Nathaniel was listed as "known immigrant" and was a member of the Old South Church. He was a Naval Officer at the Port of Boston for 25 years. Can anyone who has a subscription check to see if Nathaniel Shannon could be the same Shannon who arrived in 1687 and if so did he have any other family members with him. I believe he had a brother named Robert. I really appreciate any help from anyone who is willing to do so.
