Small world...my mother was born in Upshur Co and her people (Wilsons) were some of the early pioneers/founders of Ireland, Rock Cave, and Buckhannon back when that area was part of Lewis Co. In fact, Ireland was named after "Ole Ireland" Andrew Wilson. Those Wilsons that your Uncle knows are my mother's people. Small world indeed.
