    3. I have a John Wilson of Scot-Irish decent who, according to my GGrandmother who died in 1946, came first to New York and then they moved to Lancaster, PA. The family was known for keeping hotels. I have been able to find John's buriel in Drumore Twp, Lancaster Co. According to the family Bible John is listed with wife Ruth and their children but according to his will he list other children that are not in the Bible, which has me beleiving that there was a prior wife. We have not been able to find the buriel of the second wife, who died in 1836. John was 32 years older that his second wife. This family is related to an Ebenezer Wilson, who is listed in John's will as a nephew, who I found in the 1850 and 1860 census in York Co. Our family has been in York Co. since my GGG Grandfather James Wilson moved there in the 1800. There must have been a problem as his father John, left him a dollar in the will. Does anyone have a John Wilson who arrived in New York from Europe and not sure where he went? Cheryl
