Jim- Hey Cousin! I'm so glad you replied! How do you fit into the family? I found Pinkerton, but not Pilkinton. I just checked rootsweb- are you the James Pilkinton who has submitted under the heading: Pilkinton/Pinkleton/Pilkilton Families of NC,TN, IL, TX and related branches (Bates, Inman, Renfro, Speegle,Thompson, more)? If you are I will look on your site and see what you have already so I don't duplicate too much. The Suttons (Sittons), Whitakers, Reeds, Garrens, et al... are others of my favorite lines. You really learn to love these people the more you learn of them. From what I have learned, these were really good people. Have you gone back to the Whitakers, Lannings, Fouts, Digges, etc... If you are the same James Pilkinton then I see that you have! Very Impressive!!! Thank you for all your hard work and extensive documentation!!!! I'll contribute all that I can! There is a lot of information on them since they were originally Quakers (although I have to admit that I haven't done as much research as possible on them- yet! ) In Fairview, Buncombe, North Carolina there is a cousin of ours; Bruce Whitaker. He writes the history section for the "Fairview Town Crier". He is sooo nice and knows so much about that part of our family. I'll send you the link and you can check it out. http://www.fairviewcommunity.com/towncrier/ Look under "Days Gone By" and you will find quite a few of our family stories. There are some that are quite poignant. I loved it! Bruce gave me permission to use his stories in my database (as long as I attribute them to him). I'm sure he'll give you permission also if you want to use them. Like I said, he is really nice. Do you have John Lannings revolutionary war file? I can send you that if you don't. I'm in the process of documenting all my families right now. As I work on these lines I'll send you what I find. You may already have most of it, but you never know. Again- thank you for responding. I look forward to working with you! Have a GREAT day!!!!
