It seems I've lost contact with two of my distant cousins... the emails are
not working and I'm checking to see if they're still online. Julie Andrew
and Margaret Cresswell. Are you two still on this list?
My line descends from John Henry Chinn & Lilly Jane Glasson both of
Cornwall. They both came to the states via to California in Amador County & Grass
Valley in the late 1800's.

I am once again throwing my names out hoping for some bites.
William Wilson b. abt. 1745 m. maybe Lucy or Jane
Children were
#1. William R. Wilson b. 29 June 1765 d. 17 Dec. 1794 m. 26 Mar 1790 to Jane King b. 1768 to Philip King and Mary Kearny d. 10 Dec. 1843 in White Co. IL. Most likely had sister Margaret King who is the wife of #3 below.
It is believed that William d. in Loudoun Co. Virginia. I also believe that he was born possibly in Chester Co. PA.
The earliest document is dated 20 Jun. 1795, Martinsburg, W.Va. Court Records [Berkeley County]: "A[administration?] of the estate of William WILSON Jr. [sic] dec'd granted to Jane WILSON his widow and James KERNEY, they having complied with the law. (James KERNEY was a br[other] of m[other] of Jane KING WILSON. Her f[ather] Philip KING mar. Aug. 19, 1766 Mary KERNEY.) [Chinn Book, p. 251]
Children were John Knox Wilson b.1792 d. 1841 m. unknown but had two children Susan Chaplain Wilson and William A. Wilson. Susan m. Maj. Burr Powell Noland. Brother - William Wilson (Illinois Sup. Ct. Justice) b. 27 Apr. 1794 Loudoun Co. Va. d. 29 Apr. 1857 White Co. IL. m. 1820 to Mary S. Davidson of Wheeling d. 1868 White Co. IL They had 10 children.
#2 John Wilson b. 1772 d. 21 Feb. 1821 Middleburg Loudoun Co. Va. m. 1796 to Elizabeth Travers Chinn b. 1775 Loudoun or Lancaster Co. Va. d. 27 Feb. 1835 they had 8 children.
#2 Jacob Wilson b. 16 Jun 1774 Chester Co. PA d. 18 Apr 1843 White Co. IL m. Margaret King b. 27 May 1771 Union Co. PA d. 2 Nov. 1854 White Co. Pa. they had 6 children.
Jacob was at Harper's Ferry in 1798 and served at the White House in the War of 1812 under Col. William Washington. Jacob's father fought in the REv'n war and was wounded at Paoli and captured. There may have been a brother of Jacob named Silas that fought at Brandywine that possibly died as there is no other mention of him.
In 1811 Jacob and Margaret were living in Prince Wn Co. Va near Bull Run as that is where son John M. Wilson was born. In 1824 they moved from PWC to Jefferson Co. va. (W.Va.) and in October 1828 they moved to Illinois reaching White Co. in December of the same year, where they passed the winter at the home of a cousin Justice William Wilson who married Mary Davidson.
White Co. Probate Journal Vol. B. 1822-1844 page 165 has the following:
William K. Wilson
Administrator: William H. Davidson
9 Nov. 1836
Settle Distribution: Jacob & Margaret Wilson $50.78; Heirs of Eliza Boyd, Dec'd, John M. Wilson, James L. Wilson, Oliver H.P. Wilson, R. Adaline Wilson, Mary Shelby, Jane Wilson $25.35.
Jacob's daughter Mary m. William B. Shelby
This family is all but verified. This was the conclusion I had come up with after much research and it was substantiated by a letter of Dr. Daniel P. Berry who married granddaughter to John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn.
MY QUESTION IS THIS: Looking for Wilsons and Kings and Kerney/Kearny in PA. Chester, Union county areas. Anyone with a snip-it of anything please do not hesitate to mention it. That is how I got where I am with these boys to date. Thanks in advance and thanks for taking time to read this.
