• Name	John Griffith Wilkinson
  Gender	Male
  Birth	Abt 1816	Highland Co., Ohio   [1]
  Death	Abt 1899	Scott Co., Iowa   [2]
  	Obit of Almeda (Wilkinson) McElhenney "Davenport Democrat and Leader" 22 Nov 1923 states husband of John's daughter, John McElhenny, died 25 years before she did in 1923; It goes on to say that she lived with her father and brother after McElhenny's death; The 1900 census shows Almeda living with her brother, Jason, so I assume John died between 1898 and 1900
