• Notes

  Family Note: There is some ambiguity for the birth places of the Wilkinson family. Rev. Isaac Wilkinson, in his 1869 Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family, records that Jeptha, Sr. was born in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and that he met his wife, Sarah, in Paris, France.  Sarah's father, however, was English;  While most researchers have concluded that Rev. Wilkinson's statement to mean that Sarah was born in France, this is not proved. The IGI sources for the children of Jeptha Avery Wilkinson gave their birth place as London, England, and for the parents as Rhode Island and "Of Paris France." The census records are inconsistent. The 1850 census recorded New York as the birthplace for the entire family. The 1860 census recorded Jeptha Sr. as being born in Rhode Island, others variously as England, France, Rhode Island, and New York. The 1880 census record for Jeptha's son, Jeptha Jr., including his now widowed Sarah and children Ellen and Mary, recorded Jeptha Sr's. birth place as England. The children were recorded variously as Jeptha - England, Ellen - France, and Mary - New York. Sarah was recorded as England. I have elected to use Rev. Wilkinson's account as the source for his birth place; and England for that of his wife. I have elected to record the birth places for other family members in agreement with the 1850 census, modified, for those found in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses to what was recorded there.
