Thank you, Patricia, I note your three different spellings for Wilkerson which is part of the research problem. It also sounds like I should look into Chatham Co. as well as Randolph. Charles first son was a John, b. abt. 1797. Perhaps named after his father or brother. Other sons were William, Charles, Aaron & Henry. The Aaron suggests that Elizabeth Moffitt was indeed his wife as that was her brother's name too. Their two daughters were Margaret and Elizabeth Nancy. I would like to find some record of Charles and Elizabeth's marriage; the exact birth dates for their children b. between 1797 and 1812-15 and possibly a death date for Elizabeth Moffitt Wilkerson. Charles moved to MO by 1820 and remarried in 1828. This also agrees with the finding that Elizabeth Moffitt Wilkerson died sometime after 1817. I have made a copy of your posting for future reference & appreciate your time in looking up these details and replying. Jo
