I am excited to tell you all finally someone I believe I am related to distantly will do a DNA test for my Samuel Wilson of Lewis County WV.  He is as excited as I am.  He is a true pioneer for our family history.  That only gets me half way there, because that only gets us back to our forefather's possible relationship.  Now I need to get a direct Family member to agree to make sure I am related to this Samuel Wilson. Atleast that is how I perceive DNA matches.   Keep your fingers crossed.  I have hoped for this for so long.    

Congratulations Pat,   Wish you all the luck in the universe. I am still trying to find a Wilson who will do a DNA test on my John and Jane ( Mcdowell ) Wilson line. North Carolina to Missouri from about 1700 to 1900 some still there.  Please post your results when they are confirmed. Our direct line is R1b1c7 or R1b1b2e or R1b1b2a2e all are the main classification of R-M222 haplogroup.   Regards, Bob Wilson, Michigan ----- Original Message ---- From: pat <pkcb113@bellsouth.net> To: wilson-l@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, January 12, 2012 8:01:45 AM Subject: [WILSON] DNA I am excited to tell you all finally someone I believe I am related to distantly will do a DNA test for my Samuel Wilson of Lewis County WV.  He is as excited as I am.  He is a true pioneer for our family history.  That only gets me half way there, because that only gets us back to our forefather's possible relationship.  Now I need to get a direct Family member to agree to make sure I am related to this Samuel Wilson.

Our Wilson line originated in Virginia, and moved to Russell County, KY in the early 1800's. We eventually migrated into Warrick County, IN, which is where we still reside. Our line is R1b1a2 and the main haplogroup classification is RM-269. Does this general description fit into any other Wilson's out there? Best Wishes Gregg Gregory S.

I can't begin to tell everyone what the DNA test meant to my husband's family. He had the test before he died and did not have a hit; however, there was a match a couple of years later. We discovered that a cousin of his great grandfather had lived in the same county that my husband had moved to and had lived in for forty years. There was even a letter from the 1850's in the family that referred to this cousin though no one knew where he was. This Wilson line is from Jasper County, GA, and some moved to Drew County, AR, about 1843: Joseph Wilson, Able Pennington Wilson...moved to AR., George Wilson, Woodrow Wilson, and my late husband Harry Keith Wilson. I have probably written about this previously but just wanted to emphasize the importance of DNA. Also, on my mother's side, DNA connected our Stewart line back to VA. Our ancestor had left VA to NC as a child because his father had died, and an extended family member had guardianship of him. The VA line had been looking for him for a hundred years. DNA brought him home.

Pat, Bob, Gregg: I have enjoyed reading your emails attesting to the help you've had from DNA testing. I had my DNA tested by FTDNA, 7 or 8 years ago (I've forgotten just when). To date I've not found anyone who seems to match me. Over the years I've updated my range from 12 markers to 37, then to 67 a couple years ago. My HaploGroup is R1b1, and is green on the FTDNA Wilson Project list (see website following:) http://www.familytreedna.com/public/wilson/default.aspx?section=ycolorized I am Kit Number 18959, which is about 2/3s down the long page. My Paternal Ancestor Name is: John Wilson b.8 Mar 1813 in Indiana [and more particularly in Switzerland County, Indiana]. After looking at this chart a few days ago, my cousin sent the money to have them do a "deep clade" search. (I have no idea what that is, but it is apparently a more accurate comparison.) My cousin, several years ago, had discovered the "Robert Wilson d.1768 in Augusta Co., VA" in Ancestry.com's Millennium Files, Listed there as a child was a Robert Wilson, born 1745; that seemed to fit with a Rev. War soldier, Robert Wilson, born 1745, which we are researching for our 4G Wilson grandfather (lots of clues, but not fully proven yet). But my DNA on the above list, doesn't seem to match with that of "Robert Wilson d.1768, in Augusta Co., VA." (I probably need to talk to experts at FTDNA to explain yes or no on that possible line.) Now let me outline my Wilson ancestry. John Wilson (as mentioned; my 2G grandfather) was supposedly born in 8 Mar 1813 in Switzerland Co., IN. He married there 2 Apr 1835 to Mahala Scott. They had 3 or 4 children there, then moved about 1841-42 to Holt Co., MO, where they had 7 more, the 10th being James Thomas Wilson, my 1G grandfather, born 16 Apr 1850. In 1851 they followed the O. T. to Oregon; all 10 of their children made it to Oregon, and they had 3 more there. Nowhere did anyone mention John's parents, or siblings. Looking at Indiana for parents/siblings, I found a book listing Rev. War Soldiers buried in Indiana. There was an entry for a Robert Wilson, born 1745 in Augusta Co., VA, who had lived in Dearborn, Switzerland, Wayne, Henry, and Hancock Counties, Indiana, and who was presumed to be buried in Hancock Co., IN. He seemed a likely candidate for the Robert Wilson who had bought land from the GLO in 1813 Switzerland Co., IN, only 1 mile away from the land of Mahala Scott's parents. I still can't prove it, but this Robert Wilson b.1745 seems a likely candidate for my 4G Wilson grandfather. But that left open my 3G grandfather. Since my 2G, John and Mahala named their first child William M., I concluded they had followed the Irish practice of naming your first son after your father---and deduced that my 3G must be named William. And I subsequently found one bouncing around Hancock Co., IN, that seems to fit. Lots of clues, to numerous to list, point to this particular William Wilson being my 3G Wilson grandfather, including a discovery within the past year (on an Ancestry.com list of marriages in the three northern counties of Kentucky) that Robert Wilson gave consent for his son, William Wilson, to marry Catey McCorkle, on 19 March 1807, in Boone Co., KY. (Can't prove it, yet, but it sure looks like my Robert and my William. And Boone Co., KY, is right across the Ohio River from Switzerland Co., IN.) One of the history books for Hancock Co., IN, notes that a Robert Wilson died in his 105th year. Although not totally proven, I have no doubt that he is Robert Wilson, Rev. War soldier, shown as such in the 1840 census for Hancock Co., IN, and shown as 95 at that census. So, if you are researching any Wilsons from that area, please contact me. See my personal email, below.
