I was researching Wilkinson/Wilkerson on Ancestry and found William Wilkinson in a SAR record application Apr 24 1951 for John Parham Wilkinson b. 1889 New Orleans, LA. In his line he has this William Wilkinson & Sarah Franklin as his 2nd Great, with his line going back to Gabriel Wilkinson b. 1576 England. I don't see anyone posting about William serving in Revolutionary War? But the record has Gabriel f/o Thomas that married Elizabeth Lyddell, and I have that Thomas as George's son, so either he made some mistakes or I and others have. John Parham Wilkinson is son of Parham Snowden Wilkinson & Anna Minter s/o Mark Alexander Wilkinson & Mary Ann Arrington s/o Franklin Wilkinson & Elizabeth s/o WILLIAM WILKINSON & Sarah Franklin s/o George Wilkinson & Margaret ? s/o Thomas Wilkinson & Ann Izzard s/o Thomas Wilkinson & Elizabeth Lyddell s/o Gabriel Wilkinson
I was going to initiate a merge for 2 Williams with the same parents but found that the 2 sources on this profile have different parents for this profile. Could you please check your research to resolve which set of parents are the correct ones ? Thanks
