This is my direct lineage. I'm starting with my great grandparents and working my way back. I have much more info, but decided to only list birth and death dates to make it more simple. All names are underlined to make it a bit easier to comb through. Maiden names are listed in parenthesis. If you'd like more info for your genealogy then email me at: pikachuzen@gmail.com

My 3rd Great Grandparents


My 3rd great grandparents:  James Sterling Price Rogers (he was born on  February 15, 1862 in Kentucky and passed away on October 7, 1953 in Oregon County, Missouri) & Margaret Tennessee "Tennie" (Smith) Rogers (she was born on October 18, 1866 in Missouri and passed away on December 11, 1955).  "Reverend" James "Jim" Marion McGhee (he was born on June 1, 1872 and passed away on February 9, 1953) & Mary Viola (Combs) McGhee (she was born on March 3, 1860 in Missouri and passed away on May 22, 1948 in Myrtle, Missouri).  *Berry Farmer Wilkerson (he was born on March 28, 1837 in Sumner County, Tennessee and passed away on May 13, 1920) & Cynthia Ann (Bailey) Wilkerson (she was born on October 7, 1831 in St. Louis, Missouri and passed away on January 25, 1900).  Willis McLemore Campbell (he was born about 1825 and passed away on unknown) & Mary Jane (Simmons) Campbell (she was born about March 1828 in Alabama and passed away in 1863).  John Hollis (he was born in 1862 in Kentucky and passed away on unknown) & Polly Ann (Harris) Hollis (she was born in 1862 in Tennessee and passed away on unknown).  Samuel J. Wilson (he was born in January 1821 in North Carolina and passed away on March 6, 1892 in Washington County, Missouri) & Sarah Catherine (Litton) Wilson (she was born on February 12, 1846 in Missouri and passed away on March 27, 1913 in Washington County, Missouri).  William P. Duclos (he was born about 1853 in Missouri and passed away on July 16, 1925 in Washington County, Missouri) & Mary Margaret "Maggie" (Wise) Duclos (she was born on October 15, 1855 in Missouri and passed away on March 16, 1919 in Washington County, Missouri).  William Gilliam (he was born on unknown and passed away in 1849) & Sarah (Kennard) Gilliam (she was born in 1810 in Tennessee and passed away on September 10, 1897).  John Horner Dicus (he was born about 1798 in North Carolina and passed away in 1867 in Missouri) & Celia (Sloane) Dicus (she was born about 1819 in Bagdad, Tennessee and passed away about 1868 in Palmer, Missouri).  


*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.
