The
FAMILY TREE
of the
WILSONS
of
KNOWEHEAD



This Tree is based primarily on the Wilson Family Tree prepared by Colin Packenham Wilson(1945) in 1990. Another extremely valuable source of information on these Wilsons, as well as the related Killens and other associated family names, can be found at Ted Marr's very extensive World Connect Site. Additional information may also be mined from "As the Crow Flies over Rough Terrain" compiled and edited by James G. Kenny, 61 Parade Road, Ballygarvey, Ballymena, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland BT43 7JZ.
