Hello,

      I think you misunderstood my email.  My husband relates not to  
Maria Kathrine Olsen but to Kathrine Olsen, the younger sister.  There was no information except her name in your information at Roots Web which is where I got your name and email address. I am pretty convinced that she is the right person.  Everything you had and I had seemed to go together.

      A couple things bother me though.  One in the Missouri Archives it says that Ole was 39 he was more like 42.  And I had Katherine's birthplace as Kobenhavn, Kobenhavn, Denmark.  Both of those could be simple errors I guess.  What do you think?

      Katherine was born 6 FEB 1846 in Denmark.  She married Jennings A.WIlkerson in 1863.  They lived on a ranch in Tuscarora, Nevada after moving from Utah.  She died in April of 1943 in Midas, Nevada..  Jennings had died in 1908 in Tuscarora.  They had 9 children: William Alexander born and died in Utah 2 OCT 1864; Thomas born and died 15 SEP 1865 in Utah; Van Ole born 19 Dec 1866 in Payson, Utah and died 18 FEB 1931; Mary A. born 15 NOV 1869 in Cottonwood, Utah married James F. McAvin and died on 15 APR 1937; Margery M. Wilkerson born 2 SEP 1872 in Utah and died 22 MAY 1953;  Geneva C. Wilkerson born 30 JUN 1876 in Utah and died 17 JUL 1880; John S. born 2 MAY1879 in Tuscarora, Nevada and died 7 JAN 1881; Edgar born 2 DEC 1881 in Tuscarora and died 15 MAR 1949--he was married to Pearl Sheeersbrug; and my husband's grandfather, Louis Byron who was born 12 JUN 1885 in Tuscarora and died 12 MAR 1956 in Winnemucca, Nevada (which is where we live)--he was married to Mary Ellen Coleman.  They had 9 children.

      If you would like more information please let me know.  I have a 
lot on the Wilkerson family. I really appreciate everything that you sent me.
