my great grandmother was lila jane wilkerson. i know some things about her. i know where she lived , olive hill area, i know where she was buried. my dad remembers her well. i have heard some stories about her that are kind of wild. i know that she was never married, hasd seven childre, some people in the family have told me that the father of some of her children was named franks, that she lived in his property for years. they say that some of her children may have cherokee blood. makes sense if you think about it. i was told by one of my aunts that she left savannah to go out west with a schoolteacher and his family, that she showed back up in savannah 2 years later and that she had a son when she returned. his name was alec and he was raised by the franks family.
