Note

My 1st cousin, Doris Ross Brock Johnston's research says, "Name Unknown Son" Wilks was born circa 1761? at Loudoun Co., VA. His wife Sarah is said by a descendant to have been Sarah Bertrum, married before 1780? in VA. Perhaps the source of her maiden name is the uncle Reuben Burchum [Bertram] from whom her son Peyton Wilks purchased a coverlet in Indiana on their way west to Oregon. If this Unknown Son was father of the following six Wilks-Wilkes children [Jesse, Henry, Archibald, Anna, Arhelaus, & Peyton G.], he must've died, leaving Sarah unable to provide for their children, by June 1789 when the first, Archibald, was bound out by the Overseers of the Poor in Bedford Co. Orphans Court to Wilks in-laws and neighbors. Three more were bound out in Dec 1790. Peyton Wilkes, born 1791, was bound out at age seven in 1798. Apprenticeships were a way for children to earn their keep while learning a trade. Matching DNA of a descendant of this Wilks son and a descendant of his brother John Wilks (Jr.) in Texas proves the paternal lineage was Wilks, not the maternal lineage through the wife Sarah Wilks. If she'd had these children out of wedlock, there would have been charges of bastardy filed against her and their father, as seen in the Tidewater region's early records."
