  1. 4.  John Elias Wilkes was born on 8 Feb 1862 in Robeson, North Carolina, USA (son of Angus John Wilkes and Mary Lucinda Wilkes); died between 1 Mar and 24 Dec 1906 in Columbia, Florida, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Occupation: 28 Jun 1880; Farm Laborer

    • Occupation: 22 Jun 1900; Woodsman - turpentine
    • Residence: 22 Jun 1900, Precinct 2, Columbia, Florida, USA

    Notes:

    According to Air's delayed birth certificate, John would have been 43 years old at birth of Air N Wilkes, but he was deceased.

    Family story is that while John E was riding in a buggy with a shotgun, the horse was spooked and the shotgun accidently fired killing him.

    John married Maggie Robinson on 11 Nov 1902 in Columbia, Florida, USA. Maggie (daughter of Mark Robinson and Belle Sellers) was born in 1880 in Georgia, USA; died on 30 Apr 1920 in Suwanee Shoals, Columbia, Florida, USA; was buried on 1 May 1920 in Hopewell Cemetery, Columbia, Florida, USA.

  2. 5.  Maggie Robinson was born in 1880 in Georgia, USA (daughter of Mark Robinson and Belle Sellers); died on 30 Apr 1920 in Suwanee Shoals, Columbia, Florida, USA; was buried on 1 May 1920 in Hopewell Cemetery, Columbia, Florida, USA.

    Notes:

    33 years old at birth of Air N Wilkes
    Married Hansford Coyley Hunter after John E. Wilkes died.
    Based on 1910 census, Maggie had 3 children and 2 were living at the time of the census and she was showing as being 30 years old, however, Air's birth certificate says she was 33 in December of 1906 and her tombstone says she was born in 1873. Therefore I think the census should have her age as 36 or 37 depending on the month. The 1900 census has her birth year as 1882 and her age as 18.

    51st Infantry Regiment was organized at Wilmington, North Carolina, in April, 1862, with men recruited in the counties of Cumberland, Sampson, Duplin, Columbus, Robeson, and New Hanover. It was assigned to General Clingman's Brigade and served under him for the duration of the war. After fighting at Goldsboro, it moved to the Charleston area and was prominent in the defense of Battery Wagner. The 51st was then ordered to Virginia, participated in the battles at Drewry's Bluff and Cold Harbor, and endured the hardships of the Petersburg siege south and north of the James River.
