Hello, I wanted to let you know that I visited the "Green Cemetery" in Carlisle, MA, yesterday, to look for some GREEN gravestones from the 1700's. While there, I noticed there were many old gravestones with the WILKINS name on them ! Last week I borrowed the "History of Carlisle" from the Library and it does not have a Genealogy section. But, the Index mentions at least 30 WILKINS names ! I also have the "History of Billerica, MA," and I know there was an extended WILKINS family there in the early 1700's, but they seem to have moved either to Marblehead, MA, or to Maine ! However, I just checked the first few pages of the Carlisle book, and some of the first people to hold Town Offices were Timothy WILKINS and Isaac WILKINS, and those were 2 of the names from Billerica. They had originally lived on "the BLOOD Farm" in Billerica, and I read that, when Carlisle finally annexed off of Concord, MA, in 1754, "the BLOOD Farm" part of West Billerica was allowed to join Carlisle. Children of Dr. William WILKINS seem to have moved out of the area, but maybe children of Isaac WILKINS stayed in Carlisle for a while ! This is just an FYI for you ! Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: My WILKINS ancestor did not have a connection to the Billerica / Chelmsford area. He is one of my "brick wall extraordinaires." Samuel WILKINS was born ~1775 in "Maine" and remained in Maine - I am descended from him through 2 children. (My "hypothesis" is that he was the last child of a couple from Middleton, MA, who had "probably" moved to "Maine" -- William and Sarah (BANCROFT) WILKINS. FYI: While at the cemetery in Carlisle, I unexpectedly found a gravestone for a Rothesay KIDDER and his wife ! Even though born in VT, Rothesay married a lady from Lowell, MA, and they lived in Lowell, probably from 1909 through the 1920's ! Cora ROBBINS' parents lived in Carlisle, so that is probably why they were buried there !
