Caroline LONGMAN, born about 1858 in Frederick County, Maryland, was a daughter of Jacob and Mary Ann [Wastler] LONGMAN.(1) In 1870 Caroline is enumerated as a domestic servant, age 12, in the household of Middleton SELBY, age 77, and Rebecca, age 45, in Butler County, Ohio.(2)

Caroline was married to George W. WILKIN on 5 February 1879 in Cass County, Indiana.(3)

Caroline gave birth to a male child, name unknown, between 1882 and 1920, in Madison County, Indiana.(4) Subsequent research has identified this child as Burley A. WILKIN, born 27 April 1886.(5)(6)

Caroline gave birth to a female child, name unknown, on 16 July 1890 in Vigo County, Indiana.(7)

In 1920, Burley A. WILKIN is enumerated with wife Jewie B., daughter Leona I., age 7, born Ohio, and father-in-law Jerry PHIPPS, in Vincennes Township.(8)
