Clark/Wilkerson, Illinois
I recently received a copy of the December 22, 1892 marriage certificate John P Clark and Laura F Reed.
John's father is John Clark and I am having a hard time making out the name of his mother. The first name looks like it is definitely Malinda. The last name may be Wilkerson or Wilkinson. The Illinois marriage database list a John Clark and Malissa Wilkerson married in Jefferson County on 15 DEC 1870.If going by his marriage certificate, John Jr was born in Jefferson County in 1871 (his death certificate states he was born 23 OCT 1873).
I am having a hard time finding the family in the 1880 census. Would someone mind double checking for me to see if I have overlooked something? Does anyone know this family?
thanks,
Fred
