*My great great great grandpa Berry Farmer Wilkerson was separated from his parents at a very age (somewhere between 2-5 years old) and wound up being raised by Indians. He was given the name Berry Farmer by the Indians who raised him as their own. Later on as an adult he was adopted into the family of Thomas J. Wilkerson and Sarah (Nimmo) Wilkerson as their son. I've never found any records of his birth name or of his birth parents. The above information I first got from my grandpa Wilkerson and then later on from my great great Uncle Philip Wilkerson. Recently I found a record of an interview that was done with my great great great grandfather Berry Farmer due to him receiving a pension from being in the civil war and the above information was given by Berry Farmer Wilkerson himself. I hope to find clues as to who his birth parents were so I can trace that branch of my lineage.
