Notes for ISAAC WILKINS:
See the notes for Moses Weldon, Sr. regarding sale of a horse to his nephew, Isaac Wilkins.

Issac Wilkins - was the second son of William Wilkins, Sr. and Catherine Weldon Wilkins:
Note below from the book: "Genealogy: Wm. Wilkins, Sr." By Sanders Newton Wilkins.

On a bright and sunny morning, April 18, 1817, this second son came to the William Wilkins home out in the pineries of Alabama, and soon his voice raised a disturbance that stilled the wind as it sang a song through the tops of the "long-leafed pine". This disposition as reported to the writer was inherited, for report says that the sound of falling trees gave zest to his labors. He was a man of action. A Timberman by occupation, a great worker. However, his activities were cut short at 52, leaving a family of 8 of whom I have but slight data. All but Matthew G. had families of varied sizes, from one to 14.1860 census age 43
