Robert, Zaccheus & David wilson
To concerned Wilsons' of these three brothers - PLEASE READ
I have made every attempt to accurately reproduce the text as it appears - with a few exceptions of the original, such as font style indentation, etc. with crucify style printing, just to give you the feel of what I was attempting to place efficiency, on or/show where the party(ies) went wrong causing must harm if not impossible for anyone of that lineage to ever be able to show the person rightful for their connect by Y-DNA match, for they have portrayed the wrong individual in that position to be able to connect…...A case in point by on the Wilson Family - Written by Jay Guy Ciscofrom Historic Sumner County, Tennessee 1909 - Retyped for the page by Diane Payne and Danene Vincent 1999
**&“He was a man of liberal education, and very popular in the county in which he lived. His family were Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. His eldest brother, Robert, removed with him to Tennessee, and to Sumner County soon after the close of the Revolutionary War. Zaccheus lived to an advanced age, and lies buried in an unmarked grave about one half mile south of Gallatin on the old cotton factory grounds.
The text above written by Jay Guy Cisco in 1909 leads or/based upon or/taken from wrings found in State Archives of Tennessee. The way in which it is stated or told by the writer that brother Robert removed with Zaccheus Wilson, his brother to Tennessee and Sumner County soon after the close of the Revolutionary War. - The simple truth or/ facts are it did not happen that way at all. -
First of all this Robert Wilson, the brother of Zaccheus Wilson never came into Tennessee at all ever…..for his Will October 15, 1793, then approved January 27, 1794, in Mecklenburg County will discount that.
Second the date of January 27, 1794 was two years before the State was born or/voted on in 1795 to become the State or/ June 15th 1796. Therefore anyone stating or/suggesting Robert Wilson died in Tennessee has to be wrong r/have not caught the obvious error. That one small error though can cause the missed proper person……for that miss-leading bit of information coupled with the fact that the Tennessee State Archives also shows in their information on these Wilsons’ they have picked up on his son Robert Wilson (Jr.) as the senior’ or his father who died June 10, 1819, in Bedford County, Tennessee, which was formed in 1807, from the part known as Olgethorpe county or/ Indian Nation before that date. He is the one that the State Archives says was the first to have come by wagon train over the Application Mts. which he was but this is the same gentleman they have as his father Robert Wilson (Sr.).
Now the Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) the article reversed to in the said statement as written is quickly over shadowed by his son, Zaccheus Wilson (Jr.) born ca.1740, who is the person who came into Sumner County in 1804, and then died there November 1824……his father had died 1796 but due to the fact they do indicate, in most cases between (Sr.) & (Jr.) or/ others detirminations which one is which.
Now that does not appear to be a big deal however one has to remember that Robert Wilson (Sr.) & his wife Eleanor Carothers Wilson had 11 all sons, Joseph, Aaron, James, Isaac, Robert (Jr.), John H, Samuel F, Josiah, Zaccheus, Thomas & Moses, while his son Robert Wilson Jr.) & his wife Jane McDowell Wilson had 8 daughters, Eleanor, Mary, Jane, Asenath and Cynitia, Martha, Louisa & Matilida Wilson……..so yes there is quite the difference between the two of them.So if one is hoping for a match to this line of Wilsons’ they will have to back to the original records as found in Mecklenburg County for Robert & Eleanor Wilson (1794) or/the Robert Wilson (Jr.) (1819) & his wife Jane (Jine) McDowell Wilson in Marshall/Bedford County, Tennessee. Then you can understand why there has never been a Y-DNA match for this family?
Now if these TWO brothers Robert Wilson [1709-Jan. 1794] & Zaccheus Wilson (Sr.) [1713- June 1796] aren’t enough to cause great harm to this family & want or/need of a Y-DNA to prove their own lineage. You have then their other or/ third brother, Major David Wilson & his wife Jean (Jane) Sharpe Wilson who has been portrayed wrongly even by the County which bears & who it was named for “Wilson” County founded October 26, 1799 in Tennessee.
The David Wilson born 1752 that Wilson County has shown on their home page is wrongly portraying him as Major David Wilson were again someone has picked wrongly this nephew by the same name, David Wilson born 1752 some twenty-three years after the Major David Wilson born 1729, but most people to not take the time to think the events thus know for Major David Wilson. As a result they have accepted this nephew David Wilson born 1752 as the person for whom the County was name in 1799…..he being at the time only forty-seven years of age? Now that only should raise a red flag coupled with the fact of his receiving Grant #3, Book 7. Page 284 some 2,000 acres in November 19, 1784……he being thirty-two years of age at that time? plus if one would read his Will in Sumner County, Tennessee Bk. 1, pg 77-79 on Monday, March 3, 1804 at Sumner County Courthouse in Gallatin, Tennessee.
This David Wilson born 1752 couldn’t have joined the War efforts tell 1773 or/twenty-one years of age & then become a Major plus receiving 2,000 ac. in a matter of eleven years in November of 1784, plus naming his 8 grown children, the man needed to have more than a county named for all those accomplishments - if even possible.
You can now see why there is not Y-DNA to these Wilsons’ for nothing showing is correct....until such time there will never be a match, that much I do know
