Edward, saw your post re: Pilkinton. My wife decends from Ransom Pilkington who m Hannah Spencer through their son Ira P. I do not have a daughter for Ransom or a sister for him either named Mary. I believe but cannot yet prove ( but will ) that Ransom is the son of Hardy and Sarah Cockrell Pilkington and that Hardy is the son of Richard and Maryann Davis Pilkinton. I have got dates and some additional information for some of these folks, if Mary is related to Ransom then I missed her or am on the wrong tract ( won't be the first time ) If you would please forward any info on Mary ( dates places etc. ) who m William Scott. I will be happy to share any info I have on this family. Ransom b ~ 1836 Hal Jordan
