Holly B. Wilkinson - LA/MS
My great grandfather's name was Holly Brooks Wilkinson and he was born in March 1850 in either Alabama or Mississippi.I would not consider this to be a common series of names. In the 1880 census he is living in Ascension Parish Louisiana with his wife Francis (Johnson) and 4 children, the youngest named Jessey.He eventually moved to Iberville Parish Louisiana and had 10 children.I haven't yet found him in the 1870 census.In 1860 I may have located him living with a family by the name of M. Brown in Cass County Texas, but this would mean his parents are no longer around.I also think I have him in the 1850 census in Yalobusha County Mississippi with his father and mother, Jesse Wilkinson and Sarah.This Jesse was born about 1815 and his wife around 1823. Both Jesse and Sarah are supposedly from Alabama.Also living in the same county is a H. Wilkerson and his wife Sarah.H. was born about 1825 and this Sarah about 1830.
I would appreciate it if anyone has any supporting/additional information on Holly or Jesse and their families prior to 1880.
