Having a quick search of her ancestry all seem to be born in the US right back to the 1600s and then you get to an unplaced William , so anyone lay claim to link ? Lawrence Wilkinson was born 1620, and died 1692. He was the son of 2. William Wilkinson and 3. Anne Conyers. He married Susannah Smith. She was born 1628, and died 1692. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``Snipped some info.
