Advisory on Family of John Wilson
Some researchers do not believe that John Wilson was the father of William, George and Samuel Wilson, brothers from Augusta (later Highland) County, Virginia. More research is needed to prove the parentage of the these three Wilson brothers.
Also, James Wilson #185 (1739-1824) is not proven to be a son, although said to be by some researchers.

The following sons of John Wilson are included in the Wilson DNA Project website. William Wilson (#2512), George Wilson (#2513) and Samuel Wilson (#2514), all show a DNA match:
- 2512 - William Wilson, one of three different but contemporaneous Wilsons who lived or owned land in the 1750s and 1760s in what is now Doe Hill, Highland County, Virginia. At that time the area was still part of Augusta County.
- 2513 - George Wilson, one of three different but contemporaneous Wilsons who lived or owned land in the 1750s and 1760s in what is now Doe Hill, Highland County, Virginia. At that time the area was still part of Augusta County.
- 2514 - Samuel Wilson, one of three different but contemporaneous Wilsons who lived or owned land in the 1750s and 1760s in what is now Doe Hill, Highland County, Virginia. At that time the area was still part of Augusta County.
