My grandfather Thomas A. Wilkins J.R. was married to my grandmother Louies Chivlare his parents are Thomas A. Wilkins S.R. and he was married to Lenora Fuller Of Todd County Kentucky , His geneolgy goes back to James Wilkins and Elizabeth White who came to Christion County Kentucky from Chester South Carolina after the Revoluionry War James fought in that war and was aloted land in Kentucky afterwords, his history is well documented all you have to do is google his name /geneolgy. there is also a book complied by Tommy Henderson called The Decendents of a Revolutionary War Patriot James Wilkins And Elizabeth White wich is in hard back at the Hopkinsville , Kentucky Library  my derect ancestors on that side of the family include Wilkins , Fuller, Jones , Henderson, White, Garner, and some unknown surnames. this is some verbel information that my grandpa Wilkins passed down to me and my cusans, and some one has the derect informatio in our family but not sure who , we have Irish , Cherokee Indian, and Lakota Indian in our direct line , he told me his grandmother on ether the Wilkins or the Fuller line is link to the Crazy Horse band wich is Lakota , wich there is my great great grand father Frank J. Wilkins who,s mother was a Lydie unknown wich is possable to be Cherokee or Lakota since Franks wife Minerva A. Jones mother maden name is Anna A. Wilkins and she was married to Issac Henerson Jones, what explanes alot of these storeys is when a Native American marries into a white family or another native family weather they are male or female they take on that familys Christian name , just like there is the son of James Wilkins ana Elizabeth White the married a Hanna unknown, his name is Thomas Wilkins, if anyone out there knows for sure were the dots conect it would be highly apreated,

Lydie, or Lydia, is my grandpa Thomas A. Wilkins great grandmother Frank J. Wilkins his grandfathers mother but it don,t say who Franks father is and don,t say Lydies last name , it all kind of ends there on that part , wich means this very well Could be the conection to the Crazy Horse Clan acording to my grand father Thomas A. Wilkins

Or its on my great Grandmothers side Leanor Fuller who was married to Thomas A. Wilkins Sr., had to be one or the other there but close if anyone as the corect info would be apreated to set the record strate 

Mark do you have any additional info on the Garner name you mentioned in the Revolutionary War book?  I'm trying to chase this branch of my family through SC and KY.  Thanks   Bill
