Angus Wilkinson appears to be the first of the Wilkinson clan to
have emigrated from Scotland/Ireland between 1770 and 1795.
The name may have come from the Scottish name McQuilkan and then
anglicized to Wilkinson. |
|
Angus married Isabella (Unknown) prior to 1780. |
|
|
|
Angus can be found on the 1800 and 1810 Census of Cumberland
County, NC, and the 1820 Census of Iredell County, NC. On
the 1800 Census, he would have been approximately 36 years old |

Angus' son, Daniel, is listed on the 1860 Alexander County as
being born in North Carolina, although tradition has held that
son Malcolm was born in Scotland. |
|
|
According to Gene Blair... |
"In a note written in 1930 by John Patrick
Wilkinson, Jr., writes to the effect that Angus came from
Scotland and settled on the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, NC,
and was a Captain on the river until he was no longer able.
He then moved to Iredell County, NC, and lived there until his
death 'at a very old age'. The note said he married an
Irish girl and they had three girls: Polly, Nepsey and Betsey,
and three boys, John, Mack and Daniel." |

In Cumberland county in 1810, Angus
resides near Neill and Phillip Wilkinson and could have been
Neill's brother. There are indications that Phillip was
Neill's son. There were several Wilkinson families in that
area of NC and indications are that an extended family migrated
about the same time. He, Isabella, and their family were
members of New Sterling Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church
in Iredell County, NC. |

There is an Angus Wilkinson family listed
in the 1800 Robeson County, NC, Census, with two males and one
female ages 45+ and 4 children aged 10 - 26. I feel
they're connected and possibly this older one is the father of
our Angus, who was in Cumberland County, adjacent to Robeson
County, at the same time. |

Angus' son, Malcolm McConley Wilkinson, my
great grandfather, "Mack" as he was known, was born about 1802
(Scotland) and died 29 August 1884 at Vilas, Watauga County, NC,
and is buried alongside Ellen in the Howell Cemetery at Vilas,
which is my Dugger/Wilkinson family cemetery. |
