Does anyone have any information this Wilson family? This is what I have on them. I don’t have any information, other than names, on Josiah Wilson and his wife Hannah Sandusky though. Any help would be appreciated.

Responding to:

There are those who think, or anyway once thought, that the (place) name Sandusky in America, notably a city in Ohio, is derived from that of a Polish explorer named Anthony Sadowski. You may read about it/him at this link:
http://www.poles.org/Sadowski.html
I don’t want to join a debate on either the etymology or the genealogy, but this Polish explorer is in more or less the right time and place to be your Hannah’s family. It is anyway a pretty interesting story. He was involved in Indian affairs in central and western Pennsylvania in the 1720s and thereafter — including some references to Shamokin. That place turns up in various threads on this forum.
Thanks, Pappy, ‘that’ Hannah Sandusky/Sadowski is purported to be the daughter of Andrew Sadowski, and said to have married a Jonathan Wilson in Sussex Co., NJ, and then moved to Lycoming & Columbia Co., Pa.
Debi,
What data do you have linking your Jonathan Wilson/Willson as the son of that particular Josiah Wilson/Willson and Hannah Sandusky?
There are at least 4 Jonathan Wilsons born within a few years of each other that researchers have ‘all tangled up’ and the forementioned Josiah & Hannah Wilson don’t come geographically close to Montgomery Co., Va, where a Jonathan Wilson, is found in 1810 Montgomery Co., Va, along with other Wilson households, and the Pennsylvania Jonathan Wilson, b.abt.1766 NJ, purported son of a Josiah and Hannah, is still in 1850 Penn, while at the same time there is a Jonathan Wilson, b.abt. 1785 Va., lived in 1850 Warren Co., Ky …. I think these must be two different Jonathan Wilsons, but your’s may have a solution.

The information source Book for Jonathan Wilson is:
“Wilson’s of Warren County” By Michael Wilson
other:
1809 tax list
1820-1850 Warrent county census
“Early Adventures of the Western waters” By mary Kegley
Jonathan had 4 wives and 17 children
In the book there are names, DOB,and who they married. I can share them if need be. I hope this helps.
Thank you again,
Debi
What are the dates of the French and Indian War? I’m wondering if that wasn’t a wartime marriage. There was a lot of bloodshed on the Monangehela if I’m remembering correctly. Alos, the Sandusky river is a locale our migrating Eastern Siouan have connections to.
Bill,
Have you found any information to confirm or debunk this “Josiah – Jonathan Wilson Connection. I agree with you on the “tangled-up” theory. Many times it’s hard to correctly connect people without absolute “proof”. The info I previously posted on them was just what I had received. Still leaves questions though.
Thank you for your time and efforts.
Debi
I have a Nancy Wilson in marriage to Isaac Putney and lived in or near Buckingham Co., VA. by 1850 Census they had several children. Any idea whether my Nancy could be of this family?
Robert Wilson and Eleanor Carothers had many descendents. One of the girls, Mary Wilson married John Douthit -NC. Their daughter Mary Mirah Douthit married Phillip Howard III , Rowan, NC.
