A William Wilkinson is on the tax list in Putnam County, Georgia, in 1813.On the same list is Hammon, Abel, Sarah, and Jeptha Wilkinson.William and Abel are third and fourth sons of Hammon's first marriage (unk wife), and Jeptha is second child of Hammon and second wife Olive.Listed in the final transaction of the settlement of the estate of Hammon Wilkerson are the names of legatees, numbered, as follows: John Wilkerson #1, Elijah Wilkerson #2, William Wilkerson #3, Abel Wilkerson #4, Reuben Wilkerson #5, Zarah Wilkerson #6, Jephtha Wilkerson #7, Lemuel Wilkerson #8, Caleb Wilkerson #9, Eldred Wilkerson #10, Simeon Wilkerson #11, Olive Wilkerson, Widow #12.A note follows these names, "Paid the ballance of Olive Wilkerson's part to Zarah Wilkerson, Jephtha Wilkerson, Lemuel Wilkerson, Caleb Wilkerson, Eldred Wilkerson & Simeon Wilkerson, her only children being $32.68 to each . ."[HLW comment: From the above it would appear that the first five are brothers from a previous marriage, and the latter six are children of Olive and Hammon Wilkerson.It further appears that there were no daughters!All of the above named participated in the distribution of the property.I believe William #3 is my great-great grandfather.]
