Grave 24 (unmarked) Jefferson Green Wilkerson and Letitia Annette Nichols were married 16 FEB 1873 in Marshall Co.,TN. They moved to the Mt. Ararat area of Obion Co. TN in 1884, therefore all of the children born before that date were born in Marshall County. THIS IS A NOTE FROM MY PERSONAL INTERVIEW WITH MY MOTHER: ... at least three children [meaning Lucia. Johnie. and Maggie] died in a typhoid fever epidemic and were buried at Mt. Ararat cemetery. [She and I had visited that cemetery in 1961 and read the headstones and made a record of them] Their Mt. Ararat neighbors assisted in moving the family to their new location west of Troy in 1899. The family continued to use Mt. Ararat as a burial place for Jefferson Green Wilkerson and Letitia Annette Nichols Wilkerson. [I can remember the latter's death. but was not allowed to go to the funeral] Mother and I could find no headstones for my grandparents, but we found those of the three children. My mother said that no headstones were ever placed at the graves of the grandparents. [I Placed appropriate headstones for my grandparents in the summer of 2000.] Lloyd Wilkerson
