Lee, From the Marion County Families Book: Rachell C. Burleson b. 14 Feb 1859, Marion Co. AR, m. William "Bill" Wilkerson, b. 1859, ( son of Isaiah and Mary (Howard) Wilkerson Page 52. Emily "Emma" King b. ca 1857, Marion Co. AR, m. John Wilkerson b. 15 Mar 1858, (son of Isaiah and Mary (Howard) Wilkerson. John Wilkerson is buried at Peel, Marion,Arkansas. Page 226 Isaiah Wilkerson b. Mar 1823, Clinton Ohio, m/1 Mary Howard b. ca 1821, AR. (dau of William and Hallaiujah ( ) Howard. m/2 a sister of Mary, Elizabeth Howard, who had previously married a Nipps. Isaiah came to Marion Co. AR ca 1850 or earlier, settled in the Music and Coon Creek area. Served in the Union army in the Civil War, wounded at Yellville,Marion Co. AR,. Isaiah married Elizabeth ca 1870 had two children George b. Sep 1871 and Josephine b. ca 1872. Elizabeth is a widow in 1880 census. Marilyn Billington <[email protected]> speculates that Isaiah died ca 1872. I do not find records of his burial in the Peel Cemetery although there are several Wilkersons and Wilkinsons in that Cemetery, I see none who died that early. The Marion County Families Book has a short family history on page 450 but it is much to long to type. Should you desire to acquire a copy of that book which all all the families 1811 to 1900 that are related to this family see <http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion/> . You might try looking at his military records, If anyone applied for a pension, that might give a death date. I don't know that this is your man but Isaiah Wilderson served in Company H, 2nd Arkansas Infantry (Union). Those records may be available for his military service and possibly pension records through the Arkansas History Commission <http://www.ark-ives.com/> Death Certificates were not required in Arkansas until 1914, I expect you will not find such a record. I will put this reply on the Marion County Arkansas Mailing List, someone might help you from there, they have some excellent researchers both free and paid. Hope this helps.
