WILKES-CAMPGROUND
CEMETERY-MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE-CULLEOKA
PILKINTON, Nancy, (Nancy Pilkinton)-Nan..??..., Larki..??, born..??.., died
A..?? . (I (Suzanne) talked to the Pilkinton family at the site and they are
researching their family. Mr. Pilkinton said they also believe this is Nancy's
stone.)
(Mr. Hawkins in Maury County Cemeteries says the dates are b. Dec 7, 1781, d.
Apr 4, 1859. Most of the A in April is visible and part of the p in April. (Note
by James Pilkinton 1/28/2004, Nancy
Dickson was born in Guilford County, NC 7 Dec 1784 and died 14 Apr 1859 in Maury
County (Culleoka). I believe her stone once read "Nancy Pilkinton wife of
Larkin".) This is an 1850s era stone indicating the death was in that time
frame which confirms Mr. Fred's & James Pilkinton's confirmation of the
death date. I
don't know who was carving that style stone in the Culleoka area in the 1850s,
but they carved many that crumpled to dust in a hundred years. Shane Cemetery
has a couple of these along with Friendship Cemetery also, by Wayne Austin. Photo
