I am a descendant of John Melton Wilson born 1874 probably Pendleton County WV or Highland County VA, s/o John William Wilson born Highland County, VA about 1842 married Janie Jones, s/o of John L. Wilson born Lewis County, Va about 1819 married Barbara Erwin. I am anxious to connect to other cousins related to me. I realize there were lots of Wilsons in this area. That is why I am hitting so many snags, a problem for every researcher. I think the father of John L. maybe Walter but John is not out of the question. John L. came back to Highland County, which was formed from Augusta County. Any connections? The names George, William, Harry, Walter and Preston are continuously in my line up thru 1930's.
