Notes for JOHN WILKINS: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tfisher/fphperrybiow.htm HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES SURNAMES BEGINNING WITH "W" WILKINS, JOHN, farmer; post office, Mount Perry; was born in 1816, in Frederick county, Virginia; son of James, Jr., and grandson of James, Sr., who was an English soldier; and in consequence of a severe wound in one of the battles of the Revolution, never again returned to his native country, but remained in Virginia, where he married a Highland Scotch wife, who became the mother of an only child, James Wilkins, Jr. This James was by tradition entitled to an estate in England, which was lost by the slackness of the laws then in force, and the infancy of the only heir in America, which heir perhaps was entirely unknown, on the false supposition that James, Sr., had died without heirs. The father of John Wilkins was a soldier in the War of 1812; the husband of Hannah Roberts, whom he married about the beginning of the present century; a superintendent of a large Virginia plantation, at a 583 good salary for many years; the owner of a few slaves there, at the death of one of whom, John cried bitterly as having lost a kind nurse. In 1830 the Wilkins family came to Perry county, and a few years later to Muskingum county, where James, the father, died, at the age of eighty-five years. He was a man of remarkable physical endurance, and in his eightieth year, could plow, sow and reap. Mother Wilkins survived her husband only a few years. Her children were Nancy, the wife of Joseph, and the mother of Nathan Plank, who after the death of her husband became the wife of Joseph Snyder, and died as such in Hopewell township; Charles and Mary, of Lawrence county, Ohio; William, White Cottage, Ohio; Joseph, Lytlesburg, Ohio; Theodore, Lima, Ohio; Rev. Llewellyn, of the New Light belief; and two children, deceased, in Muskingum county. In 1839, John Wilkins was married to Mary, daughter of John Bowser. He soon settled where he now lives, section thirteen, Hopewell, and where some of the soil on his farm has been under cultivation for sixty consecutive years, and the last crop of corn measured over one hundred bushels to the acre. It thus supports its fertility by alluvial deposit, and by its natural strength. Their children are eight in number, all living, except Mary, deceased wife of Samuel Bowman, Arcola, Illinois; Leroy, farmer, post office same; James, John T., Eliza, wife of Samuel Bowman, and Abraham, post office, Mount Perry, Ohio; Ann Maria, wife of Daniel Siberds, and Emanuel, post office, North Manchester, Indiana. These sons and daughters are all comfortably situated, and some of them growing wealthy. Five of the sons weigh 1,160 pounds, the lightest of whom is nearly 200. The mother was a large, handsomely sized woman; the father has weighed 180 pounds; head twenty-two and one-fourth inches, health good, habits temperate, but not abstemious from stimulants. After the death of his wife in 1879, Mr. Wilkins was married to Mrs. Delilah Stine, in 1881, whose maiden name was Dollings; of Scotch and English parentage, and whose father was a native of Virginia, and whose mother was a native of Kentucky. By her first husband, John Creighton Stine, she had two sons, both married; one a teacher and the other a potter by occupation. She alleges that her grandfather, Slover, was a Tory in the Revolution, and that her father fought on the American side, in 1812. At this second marriage, she and her children were welcomed to the Wilkins home by all of Mr. Wilkins' sons and daughters, who reside in the vicinity.

Notes for JOSEPH PLANK: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tfisher/fphperrybiop.htm HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES SURNAMES BEGINNING WITH "P" PLANK, NATHAN, farmer; post office, Chalfants, Perry county, Ohio; born 1840; County Commissioner, serving a second term. He is the only surviving son of Joseph Plank, born in Hopewell township, 1807, and grandson of Adam Plank, who settled on the farm now occupied 507 and owned by Mr. John M. Clark, as early as 1803 or 1804, and is therefore among the few brave and hardy pioneers who first disputed the right of wild beasts and savages to full possession of the goodly forests and the fertile soil of Perry county. This grandfather Plank was a native of France, unused to forest life, or to the privations of frontier settlement, and the firmness and daring of the man, are, therefore, more conspicuous. He was twice married, and outlived both wives. He was of the German Baptist belief in religion, and did not depart this life until the year 1847, when his township, his county, his State, and his church had respectively grown to the front ranks of prosperity and influence. His son Joseph, the father of Nathan, was born a few years after the settlement of his parents, in 1807. His death took place in 1846, but his widow still survives and retains dower in the old homestead, hallowed by so many of the recollections of the Plank family, now over three-quarters of a century in time. The sisters of Nathan Plank are Hannah, wife of William Schofield, Hilliard, Franklin county, Ohio, who deceased in 1866, leaving four children; Mary, wife of John M. Clark, Glenford, Ohio, who deceased in 1862, leaving two children; and Elvira, wife of Jacob Mack, Brownsville, Ohio. Nathan Plank, the only surviving brother of those sisters, became the husband of Miss Martha M. Cowen, in 1861. She was born in Licking county, subsequent to the death of her father, Charles Cowen, in the year 1839, Excepting a half brother, John Ferguson, post office, Marion, Dewitt county, Illinois, her brothers are all called to rest. The children of Nathan and his wife, Martha Plank, are: George, Ida, Joseph William, Nancy C., and John D., Carl having died in infancy. Nathan began the ownership of land with nearly one hundred acres, spanning the valley of Jonathan's Creek, and forty acres in the northwest quarter of section sixteen. These tracts were recently sold, and two other farms, comprising more land purchased in section twenty-one, near Chalfant's Station, on the N. S. & S. R. R. Nathan Plank is an advanced thinker, moderate in his opinions, but firm in his convictions, daring to reject error though baptized by the sanction of centuries, and bowing to truth, though despised and rejected by the mass of mankind.
