Have new more detailed DNA test results. Paternal Line: R1b1b2a1a1d My family has been in Henry and Pittsylvania Counties in Virginia for several generations. Some research has lead towards the Abbotts Creek area near Lexington NC for the 1700's. Any matches out there? Mark Wilson

Mark: Even though some of the Wilsons went further south to NC such as Wilson, NC, I believe you will ultimately find your Wilson family migrated south to Henry and Pittsylvania Counties VA from Augusta, VA and before that north to the lower parts of PA and east to Chester County, PA where they first landed after leaving Ulster Plantation in the first years the 1700's. Keep in mind that Henry and Pittsylvania Counties are in Southwestern VA and when the changes were made some who were in Southwestern VA found themselves in KY. The Freeman side of my family is a classic example and left Pittsylvania County and were then found in Lincoln County, KY and without moving were subsequently found in Mercer County, KY which was derived from Lincoln. Later, they are found in owning land in Warren County, KY (down the Cumberland Path from what is now Mercer). Warren County, KY was once part of Lincoln as well. In short, they migrated west to the Shenandoah valley and down the wilderness path south. Follow the Presbyterian Colonies and take a look at the history of the colony and people found in Augusta, VA. There are several early histories I believe you will find interesting if you haven't read them yet.

Thanks Ron. I originally resorted to DNA tests because I wasn't finding matches. So far I have few hits DNA wise with other Wilsons. Most are in Texas, Colorado, Missouri and Iowa. Work from the western Wilsons led back to Abbots Creek. Abbotts Creek is near typical colonial trails and other families moved up and down that trail over generations. At least one of those Willsons was on a Quaker Meeting house deed. The moved to NC from Warren, NJ. Quakers and Moravians moved south from that part of NJ. My DNA is very Celt instead of German so a Moravian connection would not go back that far. My other ancestors have been rather easy to track. Wilson is tough.
