"Where did Nicholas N. Wilkinson come from?
My grandmother told me that he had been in the British army, serving in India and then went AWOL and came to America.. At least I think that was him
On his death certificate, it says his mother and father are unknown.
Did he grow up in an orphanage?
How do we figure out where he came from ?
I tried looking him up on the Ellis Island website (www.ellisisland.org ) but found nothing there"

Can anyone who knows about the Wilkinsons help out?

Wow, this is so amazing, I missed knowing that these replies were here all this time. Thanks for pointing it out, Ashley !
I take it that the last entry by Ronald Lee Wilkinson ( 6/11/2018 at 5:03 PM ) is from the 1870 Census ? Is that correct, Ronald ?
Thank you for finding this information. I wonder if this is solid enough evidence for me to add it to the family tree ?
