James Henry Wilkins. Son of Jeremiah Cravens and Jane Agnes (Wilkins)
Wilkins, both natives of Simpson (then Logan) county, KY. Born March 15,
1832, at Wadesboro, Calloway county, KY. In 1850 entered college, having
pursued his preparatory studies at Bowling Green. Graduated and began the
study of law, afterward practicing at Bowling Green. He served as Attorney
of Warren county for some years. He married Bettie S. Smith, of Bowling
Green, a union which was blessed with four daughters. Died May 12, 1880, of
bronchial catarrh. "Mr. Wilkins was a man of more than ordinary strength of
mind--a classical scholar--a fine judge of men. He was prevented from close
application by a life of ill health, but withal established a reputation as
a lawyer equal to any in his section of the country. He was a man of genial
disposition and many domestic virtues."
