At this meeting, a short history of the family was given and is the foundation for this book. All the children of Henry and Rachel Wilkin were living at this time and each filed a record of their family. These records have been added to ever since. In 1902, the hundredth anniversary of the Wilkin arrival was celebrated near New Market, Highland County, Ohio. I have made two trips to the Shenandoah Valley and Woodstock, Virginia, and examined records in the clerk s office.
Thousands enjoy the happy occasion.
The day was fine. Godfrey Wilkin was president and Thomas M. Wilkin, Secretary. This is the one hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the family in Highland County, Ohio. We had a copy of a copy of these papers. We feel sure that there are corrections to be made.
