WILSON is a name with a long and very proud history,originating from the Viking warriors of Norway who acquired settlements in the 9th century at the northern tip of Scotland.
The Vikings landed and settled on the Orkney and Shetland islands and also on mainland Scotland,sometimes penetrating as far south as Caithness,and beyond.They arrived in the Orkneys soon after the year 888 when King Harold of Norway routed the rebellious northern clans in his Norwegian Kingdom,and they abandoned their homeland in Norway forever.
They also explored Greenland and the North American coastline,Vinland,Newfoundland and Maine,from that time,about 800 A.D. onward.
The family name WILSON emerged as a Scottish Clan or family in the territory of Berwick.They were decended from Will Gunn and in a minor conflict with the Chief, moved the family to the southeast coast of Scotland.
Notable from the Clan from early times was Will "the Crowner" Gunn, icon of the family.Also of note at this time was George Taylor Wilson of Pennsylvania,signer of the American Declaration of Independance.
In Ireland, some of the Wilson Clan settled in Donegal,Dublin,County Wexford and Roseville.
Some,disillusioned,migrated to the New World from Ireland and northern Scotland.They sailed aboard tiny,overcrowded sailing ships.Frequently,they lost 30 to40% of their passengers to diseases and the elements.
On arrival,many joined the wagon trains westward,some to the mid west,others to the west coast.During the American War of Independance some remained loyal to the Crown and moved northward into Canada,becoming part of the United Empire Loyalists.
