Hi Orville,
I too am researching the Wilson line. I descend from a George Wilson however he lived in Queens County and came from Scotland. Here is what I have on George.

Excerpt from "History of Queen's County, N.B., by E. Stone Wiggins, 1876.-

There were several of this name who took an active part in the Revolutionary war. Samuel Richard was a lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Battalion; Robert , a lieutenant in the Royal Fencible Americans; John, an officer of cavalry in the Queen's Rangers.
George Wilson, who appears to have belonged to the same family, was born in Scotland in 1755. He moved to New York and afterwards to Saint John in 1783. the following year he moved to the Grand Lake and settled below White's(Robertson's) Point, be he again moved to St. John, where for some years he kept a store on King Street. Again he returned to the Grand Lake, where he died. He was buried on the farm now owned by Mr. John Ferris, M. P. His wife's maiden name was Janet Smith.
Their children are: Hugh, who married Nellie Harper; Mary, George Whittaker; Nancy, William Bustin; Samuel, Deborah White; Daniel, Margaret Reid; Francis, Hannah Gamble; Jacob, Elizabeth Ryan; George, Margaret Robinson. The Wilson family in Queen's are the descendants of Samuel and Daniel. Francis, William, Vincent, Samuel, Alfred, Jacob, James, Henry and George Stephen are comfortable farmers on the Washademoak. George Whittaker, son in law of George Wilson and a devout member of the Methodist church, died on his knees during his evening devotions.

----------------------------------------------

Seeing the names of the family members you mentioned being similiar to the ones in mine(ie-George, Robert, John). I thought I'd write and see what you think about there being a connection. I descend from George's son Samuel W. Wilson who married Deborah Tilton White. There son was James Henry Wilson, his daughter Alma Wilson, her son James Henry Richardson, his daughter Judy Richardson had me.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Good day

Wondering if any of your WILSON name would have been married to a Beulah May Sommers born 18 Sep 1906 NB, CN & died 22 Jun 1965 BC, CN. She had married a GEORGE WILSON (no information is known on him) They had 9 children;
Edit May / Manford / George William / Melbia / Elsie / twins Raymond Joh & Robert / Phyllis and Aubrey James. Births range from 1925 - 1938.
I know that Beulah had been cleaning lady in St John schools somewhere in St John, NB, CN before moving to BC.
Does any of this sound familiar?

Thank you & Good luck in your searches.
