    3. Hi again, I just took another look at census information, and I discovered that there was a William WILKINS family living in Marblehead, MA, in 1800. That jogged my memory. I think it was about a year and a half ago I found more information on the BANCROFT family of William's wife. I posted it on the Lists. I seem to remember that there was a Marblehead connection to the BANCROFT family. And, I think I wrote a letter to the Marblehead Historical Society at that time. I never received a response. I just check the 1810 census for MA, and I see a . Dr. William WILKINS in Marblehead with several children. Does anyone know about this Dr. WILKINS? (There is a Jacob WILKINS in Marblehead in 1810 and 1820, but not a William in 1820 (just a Mary).) By the way, if Eunice WILKINS got married in 1804 in MA, she should have been in the 1800 census for MA or ME. She married James NICHOLS in Middleton, and, yet, a quick look and I don't see him mentioned in Essex Co. in 1800 or 1810. The couple is there in 1820. (As I said in my other posting, wouldn't it be nice if there was information on their wedding -- which might show whether Eunice's parents were present at the wedding ! That would show whether William and Sarah were still alive in 1804.) Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: I also still don't know what happened to the other children of William and Sarah WILKINS, a daughter, Sarah, and a son, Jethro, born 1770's. But, a quick Google search shows there was a Jethro WILKINS who served in the Revolutionary War from Westford, MA.
