Joanne...I'm excited to think there just might be a connection from your James Wilson (from Scotland) to my James Wilson (1779-1880) (from Ireland) who migrated from Cecil Co. Maryland, then on to Mecklenburg, N.C. and from there eventually to Carroll Co. TN. There are so many James Wilsons, but I would love to hear if you have traced yours to the U.S. I look forward to your response. Let's keep in touch. Take care & God Bless!

The Margaret (1628) parents are listed as William Kidd born 1622 ( not possible as he would be 6 years old) and Margaret Deare. They are also listed as the parents of Margaret ( 1645) which is possible. To add more flies to the ointment, Margaret P. Gott is also listed as James wife. Does any one have any documented proof as to who is the correct wife? I've tried each backward and forward and still can't make any sense of it. Any information greatly appreciated.

I checked the 1910 census and there appears to be only 3 families with boy Arthur and younger sister Ruth. Minneaapolis, MN, parents Arthur & Anna, son Arthur is 9, daughter Ruth is 2 - there are 5 other children Patton Twp, PA, parents Henry & Anna, son Arthur is 9, daughter Ruth is 2 - there are 6 other children Cooter, MO, parents Charles & Catherine, son Arthur is 5, daughter Ruth is 1 - there is 1 other child >>> Best thing is if someone on here has Ancesty and can search the 1900 and 1910 census for Ruth and Arthur Wilson. That would be a start.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eliza WILSON ORCUTT which was taken at the Spencer Studio in Malone, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Eliza appearing to be in her 40's or 50's at the time. In addition to her name, someone has written "Mac's and Hope's Grandmother ORCUTT" and "also Mayfred and Manfred's Grandmother". I believe that this is the same family you've included in your family tree. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Eliza G. WILSON ORCUTT was b. in Aug 1847 or 1850 in Bangor, NY to parents Elijah WILSON Sr. (1812-1889) and Abigail BOWEN or BOURN (1818-1899). Eliza was one of 10 children born to this couple including, Clarissa Betsey WILSON CONGER (1837-1906); Sarah I. WILSON DUSTIN (1841-1921); Isaac WILSON (b. 1843); Elijah WILSON Jr. (b. 1845); Eliza G. WILSON ORCUTT (1847-1904); Eveline WILSON (b. 1849); Sophrona WILSON (b. 1850); Susan A. WILSON (1852-1924); Ellen R. WILSON FRENCH (1856-1921); and Francis C. WILSON (1860-1908). Eliza married Benjamin L. ORCUTT (1842-1920) and they had four children including, Fred, Harry B. (living in San Jose, CA when she died), Josie, and Susie ORCUTT. All but Harry were living with their parents when Eliza died 30 Jul 1904 in Dickinson Center, NY. Eliza is buried in the Ives Cemetery in Dickinson Center, NY. Her son Harry B. ORCUTT was b. 1877, and his son Malcom ORCUTT was b. 22 May 1906 and was living in Dickinson, NY in 1990 and in Brushton, NY in 1997.

I believe that there is much mistaken data posted online about the above families that needs to be corrected. My connection is thru Dollie's parents, David and Manerva. If anyone can make documented corrections to my WILSON-WINDRIX family, please feel free to do so. I really would like to know if my data is accurate. I connect thru my great Aunt, Minerva/Manerva Wilson, born ca 1847 GA. She appears on the West Amunchee, Walker Co GA 1850 census and the 1860 DeKalb Co AL census. Her parents were William and Sarah Wilson. She married David Windrix in 1869 Marshall Co AL after his Civil War service discharge. David's surname has been spelled many ways, including Wendrich/Wendrick/Wenrich/Windrix on several different documents, though shown as Windrix on his service records. Their marriage record is online. David and Manerva were shown on the 1870 Jackson Co AL census along with her father William Wilson(b ca 1800 SC) and a Josephine Chambers/Chandler, born ca 1860 AL. Would like to know how she connects to this family, if at all. David and Manerva apparently had 2 children, Dollie and William M. I believe that David died between 1873 and 1880 as Manerva is found in the Jackson Co AL home of William Henry Clemens/Clemmens for the 1880 census. The children are listed as being Clemens but their surname should be Windrix. Sometime around 1880, Manerva applied for benefits using David's Civil War service. It was denied. Then about 1887, she applied for Minor's benefits for her son, William M Windrix. William Clemens is shown as guardian on that application. I believe it was also denied. Dollie Windrix was born 3-1-1871 AL and died 4-14-1935 in AL. On Dec 25, 1887, Dollie Windrix married John M White. Her brother, William M, was born April 1873 AL. On 2-3-1895, he married a Louise/Lou Worsham. William was living in Bristow, Creek Co, OK in 1930. Between 1880 and 1899, Manerva either died or divorced because in 1899 William H Clemens married Mattie Jane Brown. I believe that many genealogy postings have confused Manerva Jane Wilson Windrix with Mattie Jane Brown Windrix. I've seen records showing Mattie Jane Brown Windrix as the mother of Dollie and William M and that can't be true. I also believe that Mattie Jane Brown had been married to a man with the surname of Brown before her marriage to William Clemmens because she had a daughter named Lillie M Brown. I do not known Mattie Jane's maiden name. I believe that Lillie M Brown married Robert O Coble and later lived in OK. Lillie and husband Robert are buried in Rose Hill Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa OK. William Henry Clemens/Clemmons/Clemmens was born ca 1859 in TN and died in March of 1939 in OK. His 2nd wife, Mattie Jane Brown Clemens/Clemmons, etc was born ca 1855 in TN and died in Sept 1936 OK. William and Mattie Jane are also buried in Rose Hill Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, OK. Looking at the location of the grave sites, I think that Mattie Jane, William Henry Clemens, Lillie M and Robert O Coble are close to each other. Would like to contact descendants who can provide information on this family so that the record can be set straight and I can amend my data as necessary. It is my hope that someone will be able to tell me when and where David and Manerva Windrix died and where they are buried. Would also love to find the date and burial location for William Wilson (Manerva's father) as he is my great-great grandfather. Any and all help greatly appreciated. Paula

I found the haplogroup from an earlier email. Our Haplogroup is R1b1a2a1a1b4f (from testing of my husband's 3rd cousin. (I think this was 111 markers.)) We tested my husband to 37 markers, so his string of letters is shorter. I can't figure out any way to see anyone elses result by searching by member number. And I don't see a match for a Ron Wilson.

Hello, I am a distant cousin that Betty Putnam mentioned in an earlier email. Just like Betty, I have been able to trace my family lineage to James Wilson (1700-1777) of Virginia. However, for whatever reason, the paper trail stops. We have plenty of marriage, birth and death certificates, along with land deeds, military records, newspaper clippings, etc. but these paper trails stop with James. As a result, about three years ago I decided to do a DNA test via FamilyTree DNA. Tests are done at different levels, and I opted for the least expensive 12 marker test. When my results came back with matches for others at the 12 marker level, I was disappointed that there was not a single Wilson included. Rather, all of my matches were with the surname St. Clair or Sinclair (which is an English corruption of St. Clair). However, there is a St. Clair research group, and something about my markers caught the eye of Steve St. Clair who is in charge for the project. He asked if I was adopted or if there had been a name change in our family, etc. After assuring him that none of these things had happened, he asked me to take further higher level DNA tests along with several SNP tests. My category is P-310, R1b1a2a1a1 (R1b-L11). From what I know understand this is a very old marker, but also is an exact match with one of the 12 identified/distinct lines within the St. Clair lineage. However, at the time, very little was known about this line of the family, and while St. Clair lines had been clearly defined, the group with which I have a perfect match was known as the Mystery Group because so little was known about them. However, my match was closer than even some of the people whose surnames were St. Clair or Sinclair, so I kind of offered to be a guinea pig and do more testing. At the same time, a Scottish farmer whose family had been on the same land for 600 years agreed to do a DNA test for the St. Clair project. To make a long story short (and I apologize if it is already too late for that!) he and I (along with the other members of the Mystery Group) matched perfectly. The farm is about 30 minutes southwest of Edinburgh, or about 30 minutes west of Roslin. The closest town that you would likely find on a map is Haddington. However, the name of the farm is Herdmanston, and as Betty mentioned, my wife and I visited it last summer (not too long after Steve St. Clair also first visited). We have now been given the name the Herdmanston line of the St. Clair family, and existing records show that by 1162 we were in Scotland (in fact, there are remains of the original farm house and chapel still standing at Herdmanston). It is thought that the St. Clair's came from the Normandy region of France and arrived in England at different times, but that the Herdmanston line is the oldest in Scotland. The St. Clair Research Project has a very informative web site: http://www.stclairresearch.com/content/news.html Of course the question arrives, how does the surname Wilson fit in with St. Clair. It is interesting if you ever visit Roslin chapel that there are 6 Wilson's buried in the surrounding cemetery. First, Wilson is the 3rd most common name in Scotland (Smith and Brown being the top two) and most researchers agree there is no one distinct Wilson line from which we all sprang, which is why often our DNA's don't match each other, but do show matches with other surnames. In the Middle Ages it was common practice for the eldest son to inherit the title and lands foe his father, and thus carry these with them. Younger sons often learned a trade, became a soldier, etc. Of course, as we all know they became known as William's Son, which was eventually contracted to Will's Son and eventually to Wilson. In digging through piles and piles of papers, one of the things that Steve and I have found is that William was a very popular name within the Herdmanston Line, with it being an inherited title from about 1200-1400). Hence, a lot of younger male William's sons in each generation for about 200 years. While I've tried to connect a specific William St. Clair whose younger son may have started our Wilson line, I have not made much progress. However, we do have very strong DNA evidence along with a lot of historical and circumstantial evidence to suggest that our Wilson line likely became distinct from the St. Clair name somewhere around 1400-1500. So, with that extremely long winded post, it is fascinating what connections can be made via DNA, and also why we Wilson's often show such differences. In fact the Wilson Clan Web Site in Scotland makes this same statement http://www.clanwilsonscotland.com/page1.php. Hopefully nobody feel asleep reading this long post, but I've enjoyed reading posts from others and Betty persuaded me that I should offer some information on our common heritage. And by the way, if you ever need answers to changing names of counties in Kentucky or Virginia, Betty is the person to ask! Best Wishes Gregg Gregory S. Wilson, P. E.
