This is the newest information dug up from a Lookup researcher Wendy:
She found according to the Greenville, S C Marriage and Death Notices, 1826-1863,
December 6, 1834, on the 20th ult., by the Rev. Mr. Potter, Mr. Thomas J. Wilkinson of Greenville, to Miss Sarah R., daughter of the Hon. J. Douthett of the Anderson District.
She checked further on the Douthett line and found several people posted a lot of information both the Wilkinson and Douthett line with detailed info on Thomas and Sarah's children, including John A(dams) Wilkinson. The information they posted shows that he died in 1892 in Chickasaw County, MS.
This sounds 95 % like my family. Unfortunately, I can't find that family tree on line yet, but I hope too.
As a reminder, John Wilkinson/Wilkerson, I thought was married to my gggrandmother. But from Wendy's research, I would that was not the case. John actually married a woman Artie Jamison whose family (Robert Jamison) probably owned my gggrandmother, Charlotte, at one time.
There's more thanks to Wendy.

Oh, boy, a lot of puzzles on this to research.
