[[This latter soldier is ancestor to Sister Inez Wilkey Shultz who wrote me:
'My Father's people are around Rockwood, Kingston, Knoxville to Chattanooga.
My parent's name is Arthur Columbus Wilkey, born 1889, and Maggie. He went by
the name of Columbus in Tenn. Here [Kansas] as Art. He has 3 brothers: John,
Carl, and Bill--all deceased. One sister Chrissie, living in Evensville, Tenn.
with Uncle Bill's wife Emma.
'Grandfather-Robert Carrol Wilkey
'Great-grandfather Christopher Columbus Wilkey who had three sons: Wm., Samuel
and James. Great-Grandfather Christopher Columbus was born in Rhea County, Tenn.
Volunteered into the Confederte Army in Captain Kincaid's Company (Calvary).
'My Great Great-Grandfather--Samuel [Wilkey] had 3 sons: Robert, Roger and Martin.
I hurriedly wrote this down while in Tenn last summer.
' I received a letter from
Carl Dean Wilkey
114 Harbor Drive
Winter Haven, Florida 33880
He is tracing the family history and he has a lot of it. May be he can help.
We do have relatives in Ill. and Indiana.
'My Husband Ascel (Ace) [Shultz] works for the Kansas Department of Transportation
as a Mechanic and Machinist. He will soon be retiring. I have been making clothes
for people for several years [church related matters].....
Sincerely
Inez Wilkey Shultz
