Bob, My brother, Henry Frank Wilson had his DNA done on Ancestry in 2013. How would I go about getting the information that tells whether he is related to your DNA results? I am frankly not very impressed by the response we have gotten so far, but that may just be that I don't understand much about how to connect. I have been stuck for 30 years and am trying to find my great grandfather, Andy Wilson said to be from Scott County, Virginia, Scott County, TN or Scott County, Kentucky. He was probably born 1860-70 and the only thing I know definitely is that his son was Henry Frank Wilson (born 1880-1893 on March 16th depending on the document) who died in 1933 in Logan County, West Virginia. I have not been able to find Andy Wilson with Henry Frank Wilson in any of the census tracts and do not know Andy Wilson's wife's name. My dad's name was Henry Morris Wilson born March 17, 1918, died 1995 in Columbus, Ohio. If anyone has any suggestions how to solve this Wilson mystery, I'd love to hear from you. Ada G.

It sure does help in our quest in finding our past. I had the test done in 2006 by Sorenson labs. The test does not answer all your questions, although it definitly will help you to know for positive that you are on the right track in your research. I am posting my DNA results here. It is R1B1C7- the Northwest Irish. If anyone who has had a test done matches this result please feel free to e-mail me. Also please post your result group to help other researhers.

Ed, I have no idea how to find the kit number and I find it so hard to navigate the Ancestry site for contact with a human being to answer specific questions. I can send you an e-mail that will put you on his results. I didn't want to do that without consulting you first.

I see we are having a lot of discussion about DNA and in general, our Wilson families. Maybe this will help someone out there that shares my Wilson line. My grandmother, Bertha Maude Wilson 1893-1958 Russell Co., KY was the daughter of Silas Huston Wilson 1861-1935 Russell Co., KY & Nancy Paul. Silas Huston Wilson was the son of Josiah E. Wilson 1827-1901 Kentucky & Sarah McQueary. Josiah was the son of Moses Harkness Wilson 1807-1862 Russell Co., KY & Malissa Hopper. Moses Harkness Wilson was the son of Nathaniel Wilson, Sr. 1773 Henry Co., VA-1848 Adair Co., KY & Susannah Stephens. Nathaniel Wilson, Sr. was the son of Moses Wilson abt 1742 Henry Co., VA-1830 Russell Co., KY & Elizabeth Bailey. Moses Wilson was the son of James Wilson, Sr. 1703-1777 Henry Co., VA & Martha Cowarding. James Wilson was the son of Robert Wilson 1650-1745 Augusta Virginia & Dinah Whitehead. Robert Wilson was the son of John Wilson abt 1626 Scotland - bet 1657-1717 & Catherine UNK. John Wilson was the son of William Wilson, Jr. 1600 Scotland-1663 Scotland & Margaret UNK. William Wilson, Jr. was the son of William Wilson, Sr. abt 1575 Glasgow, Scotland - bet 1603-1663 probably Scotland & Elizabeth Yates. A Wilson cousin has done a DNA and has found we are among a "mystery" Wilson group. His DNA shows that our Wilson's have a direct tie to the St. Clair/Sinclairs in Haddington, Scotland. This is DNA R-P310. He believes the Wilson's got started from a William St. Clair/Sinclair and became "Will's son" or Wilson. He and his wife took at trip to Scotland last summer and they found the area or origin of the St. Clair/Sinclairs families. Maybe this is just another wrinkle in our Wilson families but since he and a Steve St. Clair have a match of DNA, a real possibility.

Betty: In keeping with the information you have provided I suggest interested researchers review the Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia: 1745 to 1800 by Lyman Chalkley and study the early Wilsons of early Augusta, VA and their relationship to the Patton family who came to America landing first in the Chester County, Virginia area many of which moved are found later in KY and others in NC this will include references to John Wilson the Burgess who for some 27 years represented the VA claim west "to the uttermost" at the time. 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. The old saying about Scotch Presbyterians is "they kept the Sabbath and everything else they could get their hands on."
