Clara and Ron, Thanks for the reply. I can't determine if Samuel would be connected to my Abram Wilson or not. His children included: Benjamin W. E. Wilson (I've never found a Benjamin with those initials)born ca 1829 SC Mary M born ca 1836-37 SC (It's been suggested that perhaps Sarah Wilson was a 2nd wife since there is 7-8 year age difference between Benjamin & Mary) Abby/Abigail, born ca 1838 SC Martha A, born ca 1839 SC James, born ca 1841 SC Susan/Susan C, born ca 1843 GA Jerry M, born ca 1845 GA Minerva Jane, born ca 1849 GA Sarah E, born ca 1849 GA Abraham/Abram, born ca 1852-53 GA I don't know when this family left SC but looking at birth dates and locations, I would guess between 1841-1843. If they settled in Walker Co GA first thing, I don't know but they were in West Amunchee, Walker Co GA for that 1850 census and in DeKalb Co AL for the 1860 census. I with a name like Wilson, I wish they had been named something else.

Some some are found in Kentucky part of which was Virginia and others went further south to NC. Follow the early Scotch Presbyterians back from Augusta to the earlier Presbyterian colonies such as Lancaster, PA and further back to Chester, PA and nearby MD counties where they originally landed from Ulster Plantation in the early part of the 1700's with the Patton's and friends and other settlers of Augusta. It's an interesting study. You will find such other cousins such as John Wilson the Burgess of Augusta who for some 27 years represented the interests of the early VA claim going West "to the uttermost." Many list John as a son of Samuel. Ron Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Clara W.

Ray) that lists several Wilsons who were among the first settlers of that N.C. area...and there is a SAMUEL WILSON whose will was probated in Mecklenburg N.C.  dated 9 March 1778.  He was married 3 times & among the children with the 3rd wife was a William Wilson.  I do not know if Wm. married a lady named Sarah or not.  The names of all of the Samuel Wilson families' children were:  David, Benjamin, Samuel, Sally, Violet, Mary, Margaret, Robert, William, Lillie, Sarah, & Charity.  Do any of these sibling names appear in any of your lineage?  My theory is that any of them could have named a son Abraham and those many children, from Mecklenburg, did scatter far & wide over the southern U.S. Just wondering if we might have mutual WILSON heritage!!!  Take care & God Bless, Paula!!!!!

Parents were William and Sarah, born abt 1799-1803 somewhere in SC or possibly NC. Came to GA by 1850 and shown on 1850 West Amunchee, Walker Co, GA census. In DeKalb Co AL by 1860.

If anyone can prove or disprove a connection, I would like to hear from you. Thanks and have a great 4th.
