My Research:
Contact: Sharon.Young@Juno.com http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wilkinsmigrations/.I began my research with my Great Grandfather, John F. Wilkins who married Susan F. Seay in 1875 at Gravette, Benton co., Arkansas.
..Recently, I have gathered some information that strongly suggests John's parents were Josiah/Joseph and Margaret Elizabeth (Peggy) Beam of Virginia and North Carolina. I am still searching for record of their marriage.
...Josiah's mother, Catherine Bowen Wilkins, filed pension papers, and his father, Thomas Wilkins JR, filed land bounty papers that provide much data.
....Thomas Wilkins JR, made an affidavit in Cleveland co., NC in 1852 concerning his father Thomas who served in the Revolutionary War.
.....LDS files show a gedcom for Thomas Wilkins, listing several ancestors. Other sources provide similar genealogy records with some conflicting dates.
