• Notes

  John was a Freeholder in Fairfax Co., VA. in 1755. In 1771 he sold his 141 acres in Loudoun Co. and moved to Bedford Co., VA., where the Mead relatives had settled. In 1773 he was granted 263 acres at Amos Creek in Bedford Co., VA. In 1780 he was pardoned for being a Loyalist during the Rev. War. In 1789 he lived at Gills Creek in Franklin Co., VA. By 1795 he had moved to Oglethorpe Co., GA. with his son Benjamin. Elizabeth Mead Wilkes was "read out of" the Quaker Church for marrying out of the Unity. Some have suggested that John arrived from Devonshire, England on a Dutch ship in 1765 and supposed to have married Elizabeth Mead in England and had son John Wilkes II. while on the ocean voyage to America.... ???????
