My Wilsons were from White Co. Carmi Illinois but I have a feeling they are related somehow. I have an Eliza Harris b. abt. 1875 m. 1900 to Raleigh (Roley) Wilson, son of William Berry Wilson brother of my John Harvey Wilson b. 1850, father of Byrd Lanier Wilson who was father to Pearl Stella Wilson b. 1919. Maybe no connection but Eliza and Pearl jumped out at me.
Our Allen Wilson was born ca 1812 in Va{census records}. next found in Cass Co. Ind. Was in Iowa acording to census by 1857. Came to Ks and is buried there. Cora Lee
John Wilson b. 1772 d. 1821 m. Elizabeth Travers Chinn That is as far back as I can get. Hoping the names I gave you earlier might be a father or grandfather.
Sandy, Only this summer did I find out that my Wilson family had roots in Illinois. I know of 4 generations of my Wilson's living in Manchester. The oldest member, John Wilson and his children came from Kentucky. In 1880 ish my line moved on to Missouri. I my self (my Wilson's are my father's mothers family) am an Estes descendent and currently live in Illinois about 2 hours from the area where my Wilson descendants came from. I have gathered quite a bit of information on my Wilson line but as yet I have not located any one else on the list who is connected. I would like to find out where my John Wilson (who's wife is unknown to me and who had that I know of one son named Richard and a daughter named Sarah.) was from in Kentucky. Don't give up hope. There is someone out there who is connected.

My earliest Wilson born in IL was John Harvey Wilson son of Rawleigh Chinn Wilson b. Middleburg Va. John Harvey was born 1850 and died 1925. He lived in Enfield/Carmi of White Co. IL
Sandy, I have my ggrandfather, Alfred Richard Wilson born 1850 to Andrew Jackson (Jack) Wilson & Catherine Symerley(Zimmeral) and five other siblings who survived: William (Will), Edward (Ed), Jesse, Benjamin Franklin (Frank) & Bertha. (There was Garcie who was born in IL, but died before age 10 in Indiana). I have no other info regarding either of Alfred's grandparents.

Hi all - and especially Cora! I'm saying the same thing about Jefferson County, Indiana - surely someone on this list is related to "my" John Wilson (b. 16 Jan 1787 in Minnigaff, Scotland), immigrated through Philadelphia cir 1819/1820 and married Mary Park (b. Cir 1800 in Scotland) in Jefferson Co., IN 02 May 1821. They had 10 kids - some stayed locally, one went to CA, one to Kansas, one unknown, one deceased as young man. Is anyone related to these folks or did they just magically appear???

Cora Lee, those are the only names I have - Just Joshua, his wife Susannah, and their kids. And I don't know where I got the idea that Joshua's father was born in Tennessee. It definitely is not on the 1880 census. Bud Caudle
Sandy, Patience, patience. You could have been here for over two years trying to find a scrap about your Great Grandfather who was 1st generation immigrant in the 1870 era with the name John Wilson. That would be in Massachusetts. Just keep watching and occasionally asking. It takes time and patience. One day, with prayer and patience, hopefully your questions will be answered. THANKS!!

Do you know any other names on your Wilsons. Was talking to a lady today that said she thought they had a Joshua in their family. Cora Lee
Hello all, I've been watching the list for many months now, hoping to see something that connects with my Wilson family, so I figured I ought to throw my own Wilson ancestral line to see if anyone recognizes anything. I would appreciate it if everyone could take a quick look at the Wilson's below and let me know if there is a connection: My Wilson line begins with my mother Diane Wilson b1930 Cleveland, OH Rudford Kyle Wilson b1903 Forest (Hardin Co.) OH, d1992 William Higgins Wilson b1866 d1959 John Grove Wilson b1829 Medina, OH, d1900 Robert E. Wilson b ????, d1850 Thanks for looking! Rudford Kyle Evans Austin, TX
Hi Sandy ... Most of my WILSONs are from IL (specifically Randolph County), but no Alexander in the line (that I'm aware of). It seems that my ancestors liked naming their sons "William".

Geri There is a very good possibility as my Alexander was born 1844 in Jefferson County which I believe is a neighboring county to Wayne county. I am HOPING to get to Mt. Vernon Friday which is Jefferson County. I have been told that they have a great genealogy department there so I am going to do some lookups and also i want to go to the court house and see if I can find a birth certificate for him and a marriage license for her as I have nothing on Mary at all. I plan to stop at the Salem Courthouse and try to get a copy of his death certificate because I do know he died around December 10, 1927 in Marion County. I will print your email out and see if I can find out anything on them while I am there.

Sandy, My Jonathan Wilson and his wife Eliza Guntter were both born in Illinois according to their daughter, Amanda Jane Wilson's death certificate and her answers on many census forms. She was born September 13, 1853, Posey County, IN which is on the IN - IL border but I cannot find Jonathan and Eliza on any census anywhere to find siblings or parents for them. Wonder if your Alexander could be related. Everything indicates they spent their time in Edwards, White and Wayne Counties, Illinois. If anyone recognizes my poor old Jonathan Wilson please let me know.
