New to the list and would appreciate any suggestions in verifying that I have the right ancestor in a Jacob WILKESON, listed in the1820 Franklin TWP Census of Adams County as the father of John (below): My ancestor, John Wilkeson was born circa 1796/98 PA, married Catherine unk circa 1817-18 PA Children of John and Catherine: John b- 24 Jul 1818 PA Catherine b-abt 1821 PA George b-10 Mar 1822 PA Samuel b-abt 1828 PA Jacob b-abt 25 Mar 1832 PA or Stark Co OH All records for this John Wilkeson and his family list PA, but in no cases give a location in PA. I have found a Jocob Wilkeson in Franklin Twp and the age of the children suggest that this may be the father for John Wilkeson. Other factors including the children of John Wilkeson and Catherine marrying individuals from the Adams County area lend credance to this Jacob possibly being the correct one Any suggestions on researching the Jacob Wilkeson family, would be appreciated. Being on the road 25 days per month and living in CA, limits my research to mainly electronic and mail research. Monte LeBlanc
