About Elizabeth Wilkins
Elizabeth is believed to be the daughter of John White and Ann Garner. The White family arrived from Ireland in South Carolina in late 1767. As Elizabeth was at that time age 15, she was eligible to be awarded 100 acres of bounty land being offered to encourage settlement of Protestant refugees from Europe to the South Carolina Colony. Elizabeth married James Wilkins May 16, 1769, and they were the parents of 14 children. They also took responsibility for raising their granddaughter, Nancy Kennedy, born out of wedlock to their daughter Ann and James Kennedy. The Wilkins family moved to Todd County (at that time Christian County), Kentucky, about 1804.
1897 letter from Dr. G.B. White, descendant of John White and Ann Garner "The first one of the Whites I know anything about was John White, who came from County Antrim, Ireland... He married Ann Garner and they had six daughters and one son, William, before they left Ireland."
