Hi all, I have a fair amount of information on my great great grandmother was Mary Ann Wilson who was born Aug 19 1826 Tompkins County, New York and died Feb 15 1906 (at age 79) Little Wolf, Waupaca, Wisconsin, USA.

But I hit a wall on her ancestors. There are many Finger Lakes Wilsons and my speculation, based on family names and proximity is she is related to the Wycoffs, Coshuns, and Morrisons.

Any leads appreciated! Thank you, Scott

Her Obituary: Died February 15, 1906 at the home of her son, William, at the age of 79 years, five months and 27 days. Mary Ann Wilson was born August 19, 1826. She was married to John Guerin on October 10, 1846. Six children were born to them of which only two are living. They are Barney d. of Wittenberg and William J. of Little Wolf. She left besides her sons, 25 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. She with her husband and children moved to Wisconsin forty-two years ago from Vanettenville, Shemung county, New York, and settled near Manawa and from there to Little Wolf on the farm where her son William now lives. Buried Manawa cemetery.

Hey Wilson's! Traced my line to Franklin W Wilson, born in 1822. Seems his father was James, but it's difficult to distinguish where James was born. Seems North Carolina, or Georgia. Additionally, his father seems to be James Wilson, possibly born in Virginia in 1753. That's where I'm stuck. Any thoughts?

Hi! I’m Carrie Wilson. Daughter of Greg Wilson, grand daughter of Donald Eugene Wilson, great granddaughter of George F Wilson. Have been stuck on the Cordia Darbro and John A Wilson ( George F Wilson’s parents) disappearance from records. 🤯

Please add me to the Wilson study. My ancestors were living in Cumberland, KY and migrated to Tazewell County, IL. I hit a brick wall at my 3x great grandparents- Cornelius Silas Wilson married Margaret Jane Boyd in 1941. They had several children one son was Charles Alexander Wilson born in Ohio, lived his life in Tazewell and Perry counties of IL. He married Caroline Steinsultz. Their children were Earl Wilson, Ben Wilson, and Ida Wilson. Ben Wilson married Essie May Bowlin and lived in Du Quoin, Perry, IL. Their children were Helen Wilson, Everett Eugene Wilson, Howard Wilson, Benny Wilson, Charles Wilson and Reola Imogene Wilson. All the children except Everett satayed in IL and MO. Everett Wilson moved to California during WWII and married Carol Unknown and then married Elizabeth Nancy Conway and had Mark Eugene Wilson and Barbara Ann Wilson before dying in 1967. I am seeking any information available for this Wilson line. Thank you, Barbara (Wilson) Stender

I would like to join the Wilson study. I have an interesting situation I recently did a Y-DNA study over at FTDNA. There were no Hiles in the matches but there were a number of Wilsons. I was contacted by a very nice lady from Australia, who managed several of her relatives’ Wilson trees . She informed me that the Wilsons had come from County Tyrone in Ireland. Some emigrated to Australia and New Zealand, and some came to the U.S., most notably to Lake County, Indiana (a couple ended up in California just a few miles from where I now live). Many of the Indiana Wilsons then moved to Cowley County, Kansas. All of this took place in the mid to late 1800s.

So I started digging. I still have not found any direct biological connection but I noticed that one of the Wilson women married a guy from Kahoka, a city in Clark County, Missouri. Kahoka is a pretty small town in a pretty small county in northeastern Missouri but it just so happens to be the birthplace of my great-great-grandmother, one Margaret Catherine Kennedy Hile. Moreover, it is almost on a beeline from Lake County, Indiana to Cowley County, Kansas. It is also the county where several Hiles settled who were originally from Scott County, Kentucky! Again, we’re talking mid to late 1800s.

So this may very well be an example of a Non Parental Event and I am looking forward to whatever information I can gather here.

Researching.

Two branches of the Wilson family inhabited the Sagadahoc region of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (See "Pejepscot Proprietors, Settlements Under Them" map, page 41 of the History of Brunswick). Capt Thomas Wilson of Ireland p. 32 & James (possibly) Wilson (Innkeepers) of Topsham.

My direct Wilson tree seems to go back to John Wilson and Mary Wilson who lived in Kingston upon Hull Holy Trinity, Yorkshire. John is recorded in a census as a Tobacco Manufacturer, and would have been born around 1777.

Nathan Wilson is recorded as being the son of John and Mary Wilson and was born in Ossett England February 11 1804 and baptized April 4 1804 this is recorded in the register of births for Yorkshire , Ossett, Dewsbury England from 1765 to 1837. Nathan Wilson married Lucy Westerman in 1825 and that’s recorded for three Sunday starting the 11th day of December for Dewsbury, All Saints in West Yorkshire England. Nathan and Lucy moved from England and came to Maryland and then Pennsylvania in about 1827. On this trip they lost her first child born in England with buried at sea. I believe that child’s name was Deborah Ann Wilson born June 1826. My ancestor Francis Marion Wilson was born in Elliott City Maryland January 28, 1829. Nathan Wilson later went to Lockington, Shelby County,Ohio where he built a small cottage home and made three trips to England. He bought wool and worked it into cloth and then imported it to the US. He then built a large two-story woolen mill against the Miami and Erie Canal which took water out of the canal to an overshoot waterwheel for power. Later in his life he came to live in Missouri and then Marysville Kansas. After Marysville he then homesteaded 8 miles south of Concordia Kansas.

I would love more information and family trees that extended from Nathan and Lucy. Their other children included John Wilson born around 1831 in PA (d 1904) who later married Nancy Wilson (Flowers 1833-1904), a second daughter Mary Jane Wilson born March 30 1833 in PA (d 1916) who married Nathaniel Bailey Brush (1825-1916). There may be another brother, Nathan, but I don’t have information on him or other siblings.

Since I am a direct paternal descendant this line has the Y-DNA haplogroup of R-M269 (R1b1a2)

My maternal grandfather was Ira Wilson, Konawa, OK

I am searching for information on my Wilson family. Wilson's in Guilford County North Carolina (William Rankin Wilson). Dating from 1787. By 1850 his son, Washington Wilson, moved to Southern Indiana and Illinois. (Washington Wilson b. approx 1818-1820 in North Carolina)

Looking for information on Wilson families from New Brunswick, Canada

How do I join this

I am searching for the parents of Adaline Wilson, born 1824 Tennessee. She married William Cline 23 Oct 1842 in Perry Co., Indiana and died after 1880 Harrison Co., Indiana. Census 1880 has her parents from Virginia. I can not seem to link her to other Wilson's in the area.

I am looking for the father and or mother of a Abel Wilson born abt. 18 Dec 1815 and died abt. 24 Nov 1907 most likely in Kentucky or Virginia as where it is more than likely the Wilson's came from Virginia and before that Northern Ireland. To add some info on Abel his spouse was Malinda (Spurgen) Wilson born abt. 28 Nov 1814 then died abt. 15 Nov 1900 in Kentucky or as well Virginia. To add more they had a son Walter Wilson born 17 Apr 1838. Please let me know if you can find some info on Abel's parents, I've been looking for months and have not found anything. Thanks so much!

I found the Kevin I was looking for in Queensland and his family

We are now looking for a John Wilson who may have been born in Texas in 1883 or before that date He traveled to Australia in the SS Rumera about 1915 His father was supposed to be a John Thomas Wilson from maybe Oregon. He may have had twin sisters and may have lived on a ranch in Texas Any information would be greatly appreciated

I've been trying for years to find my grandfather on my father's side. His name is Joseph Robert Wilson, born May 25, 1896 in Blaine, ID and died, Jan 23, 1973 Spokane Wa. Any help would be appreciated.

I am also interested in the ancestry of Michael Wilson (~1650).

The Wilson Surname is also very popular in Ireland and Scotland. In Scotland, Wilson is a sept of the ancient Gunn Clan. Wilsons were granted their own Clan (I think that occurred after the Highland Cleansing) and are mostly weavers, responsible for the Tartan Registry. Does anyone have any information about

the ancestry of Delilah (Chappell) Wilson (1815)?

Hello,

The Wilson surname was also from Scandanavian descent back to 1200. They had I M253 haplogroup and its mutations DNA. The Symbol was a Wolf. I am looking for Wilson with same symbol in their crest. regards Colin Wilson
