All of John Wilkerson's children (with the exception of maybe Nathaniel Wilkerson b. 1788 in Georgia according to his 1850 Census record) were born in either Virginia or North Carolina. By 1790, John Wilkerson's children are shown to be in Wilkes Co., GA. John Wilkerson (1730-1806) wrote a will in 1799 and was proven in November of 1806 in Wilkes Co., GA.
