Gregg: My name is Jan Wilson and I am a co-administrator of the Reynolds and the Moses DNA projects (on my mother's side.) I have looked at the Wilson DNA project and have considered testing my husband, Ron. He was born in Russell County, Kentucky. Ronnie is the grandson of James Monroe Wilson (son of Balzorie Whittle and Jasper Moses Wilson.) James Monroe Wilson was born on 4-6-1883 in Russell County, Kentucky and died 1-27-1964 in Russell Cty. Ky. James Monroe Wilson (they called him Jimmy Roe) married Martha C. Tucker, daughter of Elias Tucker. There is a glitch though - James Monroe was actually 4 years old when Balzorie Whittle and Jasper Moses were married. I have been told by older family members that his father was a fellow named Luther Wilson but my mother-in-law told me years ago that he was a Whittle. Whether she said that because his mother was a Whittle or not I don't know. I believe Jasper Moses was the son of a Moses Brackston Wilson but that may be irrelevant. Needless to say I investigated the Wilson DNA project as a possible solution to at least find out if my husband is a Whittle or a Wilson but when I looked at the Wilson DNA project at FTM it was not clear to me that it would be worth participating. I just recently subscribed to the Wilson mailing list and I am happy to see these postings about the DNA project and particularly glad to see a post about the Wilsons in Russell County, Kentucky. This has helped me make up my mind to go ahead with the testing. I will be looking forward to seeing the results. Have you ever seen any evidence that there was more than the one line of Wilsons in Russell County at that time?

He is as excited as am. He is a true pioneer for our family history. That only gets me half way here, 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 his Samuel Wilson. Atleast that is how I perceive DNA matches. eep your fingers crossed.

Hi Jan & Gregg, Jan, it's been a long time since we corresponded about our Wilson's. Now maybe we can get back into it. I'll look up and see what I have on your husband's family. Gregg & I have been corresponding also, and maybe by adding another person to the search, we can find out more. I have Wilson's on both my mom & dad's sides of the family, all from Russell County, KY. They are also related on the Hopper lines. There are so many Wilson's in Russell, and surrounding counties, but I believe they are probably all related somewhere along the line. Will email you off-list with more info. In the meantime, if anyone out there have ties to Russell County, KY, you can email me at bwadeputnam@fairpoint.net and we'll all work together on this.

Thanks Betty. I am going to send off for the DNA kit and then we'll see. Still looking for the elusive Luther Wilson. He had a son named Edgar (James Monroe's half brother) I am told. Maybe he went by Luther but his first name was officially something else.

Hi Jan & Betty, There is a web site called Find A Grave.com that is very useful. If you search for Wilson's in Russell and Pulaski Counties in Kentucky, there are listings for over 400 Wilsons buried in those two counties alone, with many of the dates from the 1800's. It seems that in terms of migration patterns, as settlers in Virginia moved west, that was more or less a route that many took. So, I would think that the chances are pretty favorable that more than one line of Wilson's travelled through this region. Something that Betty has really helped me to understand is how counties have changed boundaries over time. Depending on what time frame one is looking, Russell County in KY could be one name or another as lines were re-drawn (in fact, Kentucky was carved out of Virginia, so a particular area of KY may have actually been a Virginian county, again depending on the time frame). Betty is a great historian of these counties and how they evolved. Betty, there are Hoppers in my line as well. It seems that one group of Hoppers also moved into Warrick County, and married with the Wilsons. It would be interesting to see if this is the same family. We may be related in more ways than one! :) Gregory S.
