The history of any given nation is by default the history of the families that reside within that nation. In the "Wilkinson Family History", published by the American Genealogical Research Institute, in 1978, on the first page of the preface the author writes, "Practically every great civilization on earth has found root in the organization of the family, and, thus, each history is composed of many family histories." ... Our Wilkinson Family began, in North America, with John Wilkinson, who was born in Ireland. John settled in Orange County, North Carolina. The area where John settled later became part of Chatham County. There is a creek in Chatham County called Wilkinson Creek. It was named for our ancestor(s). That area was predominantly Quaker in religion, thus it is believed that John was also of that religion; although, no record exists, that I have found, to substantiate that claim. If John was indeed a Quaker, he most likely attended the Napton prepatory meeting, which met on land owned by George Dixon. Unfortunately, none of the Quaker records for the Napton meeting appears to have survived. One of George Dixon's granddaughters, Amy Dixon, married John2 (John1). Another of John's sons, Solomon, married a Ratcliff, Alice Ratcliff. The Ratcliff and Dixon families were definitely of the Quaker faith. Alice was a daughter of John Ratcliff and Ruth Ward. John Ratcliff was a witness to our John1 Wilkinson's will. Beginning about 1795 there was a Quaker migration from North Carolina to Ohio, which Congress had declared to be a non-slave territory. Accompanying this migration were our Wilkinson, Dixon, Ratcliff, and Ray cousins. This may be our only support for the belief that our initial Wilkinson ancestor was of the Quaker faith. About 1766, John1 Wilkinson married Margaret (the LDS IGI lists her maiden name as MacGume). John1 and Margaret were the parents of eight known children: Robert, Richard, John2, Martha, Jacob, Solomon, Eleanor, and Margaret. Margaret survived John1, as she and the oldest son, Robert, were excutrix and excutor of John1's will, which was probated in 1788. Robert (John1) married Mary Rives, and was still in North Carolina on the 1810 Census. The remaining children of John1 and Margaret Wilkinson had moved on to Ohio.
