Have you ever run across a Geo. Wilkins family of Palestine, IL who may have had Missouri ties?
I found a George Wilkins in Rockford IL and I've seen George Wilkins listed in my research, but wasn't in my line....what are the dates of your George? cyndi -----Original Message----- From: Carey Bankhead [mailto:carey_bankhead@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 9:22 AM To: ILPIKE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILPIKE] Pike Press 1899 and 1900 Have you ever run across a Geo.

I don't have the info at my fingertips as I was doing some research for an old classmate of mine who descends. I'm thinking it was ca l840 however. The family moved to Howard/Randolph Co's, MO. An obit on a family member mentioned kin to John Brown the Abolitionist and Pres. James K. Polk (I'm thinking the Wilkins were possibly connected to the former.)
