Wilson is related to President Biden (Robinette line), like 5th cousin or something
More like 7th cousins. They both descend from Samuel Robinette (1669-1745) and Mary Taylor (1674-1747).
7th cousins, once removed.
*Kate was the daughter of James Martin Campbell and Mary Louisa Stevenson.
Most definitely English/Scottish. Don’t see other ethnicities…
Lol, How do you see that? X-Ray ethnic-vision?
Many Anglo-Celts look like this. It’s their “typical” look, if you will.
