Does anyone have any info on this family? this is an outside chance because we have no records of anyone with the above names. My reasons for inquiring further is that there are two rumors in our family: 1) some of my grandfather's relations lived in west Tennessee, and 2) somewhere in the lineage is Indian blood. However, the only records for my family found so far places them in central Kentucky with the possible name of ggfather "Wilkerson" Cain. His son was Joseph Carter. If related, they would have been cousins. Any Wilkerson in your line?
