"I want to comment about the Turners. There are three
long time Turner families in the area. The Tom Turner that married Ella Lowe came
to Polk County with his brother and his aunt from Louisiana and the brother and aunt lived with and worked
for Willy Peebles. I have contact with the brother's granddaughter. Simeon Turner
came here in the 1850s and his first wife is the first marked grave in Peebles Cemetery. That was 1861 and the second
wife was buried there in 1867. He then married Mary Ann Brock. There is a published book on his
Turner family that I have seen and he was not from Alabama. I copied the part about him and his descendents. The
third Turner family lived in the Soda Community and three daughters married Wilkinson brothers. Their
father was John T. Turner. I am sure that the first two families were not related, but Simeon
and John may have a connection as both were in Mississippi at some time. There are quite a few Turners on the 1860
and 1870 census in Polk County, but not any of them say they or any of their children were born in Alabama. I do
not believe that Turners came to Texas with the Peebles, Brock, Purvis, and Wilkinson families. There are two other
families that did - Oates and Williams. I have a lot of information on the Williams family. " -- Annette
Lowe
Surnames associated with this family: BROCK, PEEBLES, PURVIS, TURNER, WILKINSON
What I know about the Wilkinsons (Records, such as some court documents and Permelia Peebles & Mary
Peebles Pension Applications for their husbands, David M. & Jesse M., are shown as 'Wilkerson',
however their headstones show Wilkinson.)
From the Texas Library & Archives
(CSA Pension Applications from Hardin County website have the correct spelling of 'Wilkinson' and "were abstracted from "Index To
Applications For Texas Confederate Pensions" compiled by John M. Kinney, revised by Peggy Oakley, printed 1977 by
the Archives Division, Texas State Library, Austin, Tx.")
NOTICE:
Please view the Documents page for copies of Marriage Records, Divorce Records and CSA Pay Records for the
Wilkinsons and associated families. Records not listed elsewhere will be added to this page, listed by surnames.
In 1860, there was an area close to Livingston, which is the county seat (Polk
Co., Tx) known as "the Henry Co., Ala Settlement". I believe it was also called "Providence Hill"
and this is where the Peebles Family Cemetery is located.
There was another Wilkinson family in the Polk Co. area but they were from Mississippi. If you look at the 1860
Census for Precinct #4, you will be very confused.
It
is believed that the father of James Wilkinson, Sr. was Hugh M. Wilkinson from Jefferson Co., GA but there hasn't
been any documentation to prove or disprove this. If anyone has any information, I would like to post it here with the appropriate
credit to you.
The sons of James & Mary Ann

Joel Wilkinson, researcher now deceased, felt sure that Jonathan P. was
a son of James & Mary Purvis Wilkinson. I am not sure but have included this info for him. Based on the following
census record, I am even less sure that Jonathan belonged to this James Wilkinson Family. If Jonathan was a member of this
family, he should have been a part of this census as the family was in Texas just 4-5 years later.

My grandfather, Bill Wilkinson (Wilburn Joseph) in 1912. He had injured
his leg while working in the sawmill near Village Mills. They didn't know if he'd walk on that leg again but he did.
Oscar & Dave were both working at the Kirby Lumber Mill in Hardin Co, so that may have been the same mill where he
injured his leg.

Jeff Frank "Jep", Wilburn Joseph "Bill", and Oscar
Monroe "Onion" Wilkinson using a "cherry picker" to work on the motor of grandpa Bill's car. This
photo was taken in the summer of 1955 in the drive-way of grandpa's house located at 1409 Gilbert St., Beaumont,
Jefferson Co. TX, which my grandparents bought in 1932.
Jefferson David Wilkinson celebrated his 75th birthday on November 10, 1936.
All his children gathered at his home in Village Mills, Hardin Co., TX to celebrate with him. The house is gone now but was
at the end of a dirt road, which today is called Langston Rd. and is going towards what is now "Wildwood Resort Community".
