Joy, I had thought that I emailed Dan with the information, however I see that the site for the wilkerson family still contains the erroneous infromation. I do not know much about james except that he was born in Sumner County TN. He may be the son of Benjamin Wilkerson who was born Va and listed in the 1850 census of Franklin Co Il. That could possibly make him a relative of Berry Farmer Wilkerson. However there could be other Wilkersons that were in franklin co around 1840 that are his parents. All I do know for sure is that James married Levisa miller in 1846, I have land records, military records etc that prove that connection. James Wilkerson's civil war records describe him as dark complected, brown eyes, and black hair. That made me think there may be Indian. Just a suposition. tammy
