My brick wall John Wilson in Fauquier Co. Virginia d. 1821 had proven 1 son
that went to Kentucky and I believe possibly 2 but can't prove that. His
name was John Stretchley Wilson b. 1805 d. 12 Feb 1855 Union Co. KY.
Married Harriet Blue of Kentucky. John Stretchley's brother Rawleigh Chinn
Wilson was in Kentucky briefly but ended up in White Co. IL which is in the
Kentucky border near Union Co. KY. I do not know of any specifically that
went to Ohio. However, John Stretchley's children were all born between
1836 and 1849. I only have their initials other than 1st born daughter Lucy
who married a Charles J.F. Wilson b. 1827 and they moved to Carmi White Co.
IL. Charles' father was Chief Justice William Wilson who served as the
Illinois Supreme Court Justice for 24 years. Judge Williams was born in
Loudoun Co. Va and lived for a short time in Kentucky before moving to
Illinois. He married Mary S. Davidson of Wheeling, Va. They had a son JOHN
COOK WILSON, named after Atty. John Cook who Judge Wilson did his
apprenticeship under in Virginia. It is said that Judge Wilson's father
died young leaving mom and two young boys. Anyone having any information is
appreciated. This brings two related Wilson lines together but the
connection is broken in Loudoun Co. Virginia........ Thanks. Janean
