James Wilkerson Allison

Male 1826 - 1908  (82 years)


Personal Information    |    Media    |    Sources    |    All

  • Name James Wilkerson Allison  [2] 
    • His middle name isn't provided in any records for him but it's a safe bet that it was Wilkerson since his grandson Edward is Edward Wilkerson Lang, confirmed by his WWII draft registration. [1]
    • Wilkerson and Wilkinson seem to be interchangeable in early records. It was likely a family surname of previous generations however I've been unable to determine the link yet.
