How interesting!! I wish I could find a Wilson descendant who is willing to do a DNA . I have found 4: one DNA was inconclusive and the other 3 is unresponsive to DNA research.

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.

The records I have is a gr gr gr gr Grandfather James Wilson/Willson born in 1776. Gr gr gr Grandfather Morgan Wilson/Willson born 1813. Gr gr Grandfather William Henderson Wilson born 1849. All resided in Henry County, Virginia. Their farm was evidently used as part of the Chatmoss Country Club. William moved to Pittsylvania County, Virginia in the late 1800's DNA is R-M269 R1b1b2a1a1d That DNA line is thought to be early arrivals to the British Isles after the last ice age. The first farmers in northern Europe.

I posted the information found below a couple of days ago about my Dad's DNA test results. The haplogroup information is from the main page of his FTDNA account. Today I visited the WILSON surname DNA site and found that he is grouped as follows: R1b1a2a1a1a (R-U106+) I am confused by the difference. Is there anyone out there who might be able to explain the difference to me? > My dad, Temple Wilson is FTDNA kit is #60837 haplogroup R-M269 Thanks, Linda Wilson Richards
