Welcome! This Family History Website contains genealogy
information regarding the families of Larry and Jane Wilson.
Surnames of particular interest on Larry's side of the family are Brown, Grych,
Harvey, McAnally (McNally), Vitosky (Vitovsky),
and Wilson. On Jane's side of the family they are Steere, Cotter, Robinson, and Barney.
Background Information
Larry's earliest known ancestors include Charles Brown of
Rowley, Massachusetts who apparently arrived in America from
Suffolk, England, around 1640. His son, Beriah Brown, moved to
Rhode Island and settled in North Kingstown. A few generations
later Jonathan Brown, who fought in the Revolution, moved to the
Hartford, Granville area of Washington County, New York.
Jonathan's grandson, Nathan, moved to Dakota, Minnesota, in 1847
and was, therefore, the first non-native settler in Winona
County, Minnesota.
Jane's earliest known ancestor was John Steere who settled in
Providence, Rhode Island around 1630. Her relations also include
the Cotters and Robinsons in Rhode Island, particularly South
County and Narragansett. Thus, while Larry grew up in Minnesota
and Jane in Rhode Island, they met many years later and
discovered that their early ancestors lived only a few miles
from each other in Rhode Island.
Special thanks to Francine Smith, Patrick Wilson, and Don
Rathbun for all of their contributions and help on the
Brown/Wilson lines.
