Assuming most WILSONs on this list originated in/from the UK area, but does anyone have connections to South Africa? I imagine quite a few came here during our gold rush in the late 1800's but I know there were earlier immigrants in that same century. Regards Marielle Ford

Thanks Ron. I originally resorted to DNA tests because I wasn't finding matches. So far I have few hits DNA wise with other Wilsons. Most are in Texas, Colorado, Missouri and Iowa. Work from the western Wilsons led back to Abbots Creek. Abbotts Creek is near typical colonial trails and other families moved up and down that trail over generations. At least one of those Willsons was on a Quaker Meeting house deed. The moved to NC from Warren, NJ. Quakers and Moravians moved south from that part of NJ. My DNA is very Celt instead of German so a Moravian connection would not go back that far. My other ancestors have been rather easy to track. Wilson is tough.

Ron, I printed out your response to Betty to keep and review. I have been searching my Wilsons for 16 years and have only gotten a tiny bit further than Ruth Wilson Dillon who wrote "The Chinn Book". What I know is that there were 3 brothers. William 1765-1794 m. to Jane King John 1772-1821 m. Elizabeth Chinn Jacob 1774-1843 m. Margaret King The KING sisters were daughters of Phillip King and Mary Kerney of Berkeley Co. WV/VA Their daughter Margaret Kerney married James Blue and this whole family moved to Union Co. KY Their son John Blue had a daughter that married a son of John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn and they too lived in Union Co. KY. The rest of John and Elizabeth's kids either stayed in Middleburg Loudoun Co. Va or went to Union Co KY or White Co. IL Jacob Wilson was mentioned in a bio of his son stating he was born in 1774 in Chester PA was at Harper's Ferry in 1798 and served at the White House in the War of 1812 under Col. William Washington. Jacob's father fought in the Rev'n war and was wounded at Paoli and captured. His Uncle Silas fought at Brandywine. NOW, I did a little research on Col. Wm. Washington and the time line to me didn't fit, but I didn't expand on it too much. I did however speak with someone who had wounded soldier's info and found only THREE Wilson's that were wounded/died in Paoli. Of the three soldiers, only a John Wilson was actually captured, and later died which matched my info from the bio. 7th Pennsylvania Regiment - Lieut. Col. David Grier, commanding Strength: 325 (Muster/pay rolls available for September 1777) 3. Sgt. John Wilson, Talbot's Co. - Wounded/Prisoner/Died 28 September It is THIS man that I need to put in Chester Pa. I did a search of soldiers and I did find a Silas that served from Pa and can't recall now if it was Chester or not but believe it was. With the Wilson name being so common, its very hard to make connections. I guess my best bet would be to search for any pension records received for him by a wife. But in my years of research I did at one time make note of John Wilson the Burgess for some reason as a clue. It's interesting at this point to mention that the KING sisters great-grandmother was Sophia Elizabeth Burgess. The locations I have for these early families is Halifax and Stafford Co's. Another interesting note was your mention of early Maryland counties. My John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn although living in Loudoun Co. Va. got their marriage license in Frederick Co. MD and I have yet to figure out why. They were of age, her father liked John, he even built them a house in Middleburg. But just can't figure out why they went to Frederick, unless there was an issue of circuit preachers not being around and maybe there were in a "hurry" to get married? They got their license on June 8th 1796 and their first born is listed as April 1797 but there is not confirmation of that month or year for that matter. Regardless it tells me John Wilson had some connection possibly to Frederick Co. MD. His other two brothers were for the most part in Berkeley Co. or Jefferson Co. WVa/VA before they all landed in Middleburg Va. John and Elizabeth's children as well was Jacob and Margaret King-Wilson and William's widow, Jane King-Wilson all went to White Co. IL in the 1840-50's............. As did my Irish ancestors who married into the Wilson line.......... Adams & Marlins that came about the same time period from .............. wait for it...........

You will find references in the Chronicles showing where they came from after they arrived and trips they made back to the Chester, PA area which by definition will include the nearby counties in early Maryland. In some cases the Wilsons of early Augusta, VA didn't actually move to KY there was simply a change when certain counties were separated from VA and later subdivided. While this strain of Wilsons no doubt originated in Scotland they seem to have been among the Wilsons who moved from Scotland to Ulster Plantation encouraged by the English to "water down" the influence of the Irish Catholics and relates to the early changes in England from the Catholic heirs to the throne to the English church. As it turned out the Scots were better business people then the English at the time and to even out the competition England added some unbearable taxes. As a result James Patton and many Wilsons left Ulster Plantation and came to America. As an international reinsurance broker for over 40 years, I visited Ireland, Scotland, and had a second home in England for seven years and spent some of my spare time researching all this.

Ron: My wife was from Lee County, VA near the Cumberland Gap and also near Tazewell, TN and the history of both areas are overlapping. Many of the early Tazewell families moved there from Hawkins, TN including some Wilsons and the Britton family being two. The Britton family was intermarried with the Clouds and the Chadwell families both of which are well documented in the histories of Lee County, VA and Tazwell, TN and nearby KY towns. Take a look at the genealogical research relating to Captain David Chadwell who owned some 27,000 acres of what is now Southwest VA and nearby Tazewell, TN and you will find more of your Britton family.

Guardian for the minor heirs of Benjamin Wilson, to wit., Mary Ann, Nancy Jane, Elizabeth Ann, and Benjamin Wilson. Also, John Wilson is mentioned, but not his relationship to the family. (p. 279) (Wills 1830-1832, Will Book 6?) [James Wilson was married in December 1830, and he wouldn't be a minor in 1831.] My husband's ancestor is the James Wilson, who had just married Dec 09, 1830 in Wilson Co. TN to Syntha Byrn I'm not sure the haplogroup of R-M269 is definative. He is on FTDNA, and I don't know if the y-DNA is available on GEDMatch, but his file is there, too.

Dear Sue I’m a Wilson by birth and had my DNA preformed and ended up in the “R1B1B2 - R-M269” grouping. The furthest I have gotten back to is a Benjamin Wilson b: ca1785 Virginia, he married a Clarksy Britton. I have not been able to break through to the next generation, could possibly your Benjamin be related?
