This is my g-g-g-great grandfather John Wilson.
What I know about him.......
He was born 11-16-1793 place unknown and died
10-13-1844 in Manchester, Scott Co., Illinois. His wife's name may have
been Sarah, but this is unsure. He had at least two children. 1). Sarah
Wilson b. 1814 who married Rollen Caddwell. She died 5-22-1863 in Manchester,
Illinois. 2) Richard B. Wilson b. 1819, Ky. and who married Keziah Tunnell
in Morgan Co., Illinois on 8-18-1836. Richard died in Manchester, Illinois
in 1892 John signed a letter of consent for his son Richard to marry Keziah
and it appears a family member of Keziah's (David Tunnell) preformed the
ceremony. Proceeding John's signature on the consent form the city Jacksonville
(hand written and hard to make out) appears. I believe this is where John's
family was living in Aug. of 1836 although I haven't found any documentation
as yet.
I descend from Richard B. Wilson and have uncovered
a great deal of information on the family which appears to have worked
as farmers in the same location. I have census, birth and death information
showing the family of Richard B. Wilson living in Manchester, Illinois
from 1838-1902 when his wife Keziah passed and their son Lewis sold the
farm. I have nothing more on John, would like to know where in Kentucky
they were from, who his wife was, if they had any other children and who
John's parents were.
If this sounds familiar to any one please contact
me at: jhall@voyager.net
I would be happy to share what I have found
which includes some family photos of John's grandson George L. Wilson and
tombstone photos of the family plots in Manchester. |

James Wilson is my maternal great- grandfather married Mary Pryor.
I believe that they were in Kent Co. DE in 1879 because my grandfather
William Peter Wilson was born in Blackiston Crossroads, Kent Co DE January
26, 1879. I haven't been able to find anything in the census, bibles or
other sites about them. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Tradition
says that there was also another son born to them - John Pryor Wilson -
nothing else is known about him. Thanks.

JOHN WILSON of Virginia
John was born 1772 unknown. I believe based on the naming order they
used back then his father was William Wilson who had a brother Samuel Wilson.
Mother possibly Lucy or Jane. Other unidentified surnames associated with
his children are Dodridge, Porter, Jones.
John m. 1796 Elizabeth Travers Chinn (Betsey) daughter of Rawleigh
Chinn and Francis Tarpley of Middleburg, Loudoun Co. Va. John died 27 Feb.
1821 in Middleburg VA. There is a marriage record for June 8, 1796 in Frederick
Co. MD.
Their children were:
William Travers Wilson b. 1797
Frances Tarpley Wilson b. 1799 m. Israel Thompson
Rawleigh Chinn Wilson b. 1801 m. Callia T. Rice of KY
Lucy Jones Wilson b. 1803 m. Ferdinand Crebs
John Stretchley Wilson b. 1805 m.Harriet Blue
Jane Elizabeth Wilson b. 1809 m. Philander Berry
Samuel Porter Wilson b. 1814 d.young
Jacob Dodridge Wilson b. 1817 d.young
Rawleigh and sister Lucy d. in White Co. IL
John and sister Jane d. in Union Co. KY
Francis stayed in Middleburg.
It is believed by some cousins that John "Old Burgess" Wilson was some
relationship as he had land dealings with the Chinns and Powells in the
Northern Neck of Virginia. I need to find John's parents which could be
another brick wall / dead end, but it could also lead me to all the Wilson
information I see constantly in the 1600's and 1700's. Thank you in advance
for ANY HELP. Janean JRay38@neo.rr.com

I have a JOHN H. WILSON b 7-10-1835,
in Tennessee, d 10-6-1901, m MARY ? d 1917 They are both buried in Fairy
Cemetery Hamilton County Texas. They moved to Texas from Murray County
Georgia about 1886. I only know of one
child, JAMES WILLIAM (Big Jim) who was born in Tennessee August
1858.
I have not proved any of this. Big John was my husband's grandfather.
He
left his wife and ran off with another lady. I have not found
him and I
know nothing more of JOHN and MARY. I have however seen their
graves. the
dates of their deaths was taken from their tombstones.
