  • 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. [5, 6]

      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.

      Children:
      Mary "Polly" Wilcher, born c1783 m: Richard Walden

      Jordan (Jordon) Wilcher born c1785 died 8 Aug 1857, m: Elizabeth nee? c1805

      Jane Wilcher born c1786 died Bef. 21 Jan 1829 m: Duncan Greenberry Carmichael(Carmichail) on 30 Oct 1808

      William G Wilcher [link below]

      Elizabeth Wilcher born c1791 m: John G. Lyon on 20 Dec 1810

      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".
