We are descendants of Ezekiel Willson of Putney, VT. Our family always said the 2 ll’d Willsons were of Scotch descent. I do not know if there there is anything to this or not.

Putney history book (1953) lists Benjamin Wilson and widow Doyle’s son Ezekiel (1744-1831 sic) as having 10 children (Hannah, Fairing, Abel, Reuben, Joseph, Abram, Salley, Betsey, Wheaton & Chloe). Fairing (1771 sic-1842), after his first marriage to Polly Manley, was listed as having a second marriage to a Rachel Joy (1779-1861 sic s/b 1787-1861?; gd. of Obadiah Joy’s brother David thru son Abel and, according to web, m. 3 FEB 1806 in Brattleboro, Windham, VT ). If true, this might show another link between the Wilsons’ and the Joys’ and bolster your case for Wilson accession to Mayflower Society.
