1. William Gray Wilcher

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alt Birth: 15 Dec 1778, Wilkes County, Georgia

Notes:

Jeremiah Wilcher's son William is my 3rd great grandfather and you have his name as William George; however, my g-grandfather was named after him and his name was William Gray Wilcher and by stories handed down I am almost certain that Jeremiah's son William was named William Gray just like his grandson.

William married Nancy Grace. Nancy was born in 1790 in Georgia; died in 1880-1882 in Warren County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military: Revolutionary War Patriot
• Alt Birth: 1757-1760, (Christ Church, Middlesex County) Virginia

Notes:

Buried under native stones with a headstone that reads: "Geremiah H Wiltshire Pioneer, Father of Georgia"

Melba McGahee generously provided the following information:
The middle initial "H", was Jeremiah's signature mark. He was the first person buried here.

iin the cemetery of Euphrates Primitive Baptist Church ...

Jeremiah married Jane "Jenny" May Cummings in 1795. Jane was born in 1774 in Jefferson County, Georgia; died in 1831 in (Jefferson County) Georgia; was buried in Euphrates Baptsit Church Cemetery, Edgehill, Glascock County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alt Birth: 1755
• Alt Death: 1839, (Jefferson County, Georgia)

Notes:

Trying to find documentation on the maiden name of Jane/Jenney Wilcher (born between 1761-1764 in probably Virginia and died Dec 1831 in Jefferson County, Georgia) who was married to Jeremiah Wilcher. Some researchers have her maiden name as Cummings; however, I believe differently because some family tree postings of who her mother was: had her dying 15 or more years before Jane/Jenney documented birth year (1830 Federal Census).

Does anyone have documentation on who Jane/Jenney might be.

Melba McGahee has added generously to our knowledge of this family. Thank you Miss Melba!

According to Miss Melba's mother & her Aunts, Jinny/Jane/Jenny died about a year after her husband, and was actually buried in the field a little way from the Euphrates church.

Frances "Fancy" Wilcher born c1795 died aft 1870 m: Gideon Allen on 2 Dec 1813

Jeremiah Wilcher, Jr m: Ruth Braddy


I formerly had listed two other children, Nancy & Larkin. Miss Melba has shed doubt on them being of this family, so I list them below.

Nancy Wilcher
Larkin Walker Wilcher aka John Larkin Wilcher (m: Lucretia "Cressy" Morgan on 6 Jul 1828)
This Larkin was born 1798-1799 & also lived in Glasscock County, Georgia, USA. (1850, 1860, 1870 & 1880 Federal Census.) He had children named the same as this line of Wilcher's. (Jordan, Jeremiah, William, etc.) Several online genealogies give his birthdate as: 5 Jan 1797, date of death: 21 Aug 1890.

His son, another Larkin, is listed in the book "1864 census for re-organizing the Georgia militia" as being 16 years, 10 months old at that date, and is listed as a "Planter".
