Jan can you tell me something about your Luther Wilson? My great grandfather and his wife had a son names either Jake Luther or Luther Wilson (depending on which document you look at) I lose track of Luther and his mom after the 1910 census.

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.

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?

This is what I was told about Luther: He had a son named Edgar or Edward who lived on Bernard Creek in Russell County. Edgar had one son and a daughter named Lillian who married a Grider. Lillian had a son named Bobbie and a daughter named Peggy. Edgar would have been a half-brother to my husband's grandfather, James Monroe Wilson. James (Jimmy Roe) was born in 1883. Not sure which was the older brother. It was my intention to try to contact Lillian or her children but soon after I got this information I underwent surgery and treatment for cancer and I just have not gotten back to researching this line. I would love to nail this down. Is your Luther in this time frame?
