Jethro Lynch, b. 1733 d. 1771 Baltimore County, MD

Danna Gibson - Jan 8, 2012

According to Wilkinson family files located at Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Jethro Lynch was a bastard son of Philisanna Wilkinson. Besides the two documents posted, there is an additional document I found at Maryland Hall of Records in Annapolis It lists John Hall, of Joshua, as Administrator of the Estate of Jethro Lynch Wilkinson. This document further mentions a minor child of Jethro Wilkinson. St. John's parish records lists Jethro Lynch Wilkinson as marrying Elizabeth Merryman of Baltimore County. One child was born to this union. His name was Moses Wilkerson.

Hi,
Do you have a copy of the document that lists Moses Wilkerson as the child you can share? I communicate a lot with Wilkinson/Wilkerson researchers and I am sure they would love to have a copy of that document.
Thanks much.

Hi Debbie,

I also have communicated with several Halls, Wilkersons, and Sellers. Many of them have provided me with their own family research for further use towards resolving the "numerous" Hall family mysteries. In 2001, I discovered the Maryland lines of John Hall, of Joshua, by process of elimination. Much later, I discovered an interest in Jethro Lynch as he was commonly listed in most Prerogative Court records in Maryland. Turns out his name was not Jethro Lynch, but Jethro Lynch Wilkinson with a connection to the Elizabeth Merryman family. (Referred court document). Upon the death of Jethro Wilkerson there was mention of a minor. Maryland Orphans Court listed John Hall, of Joshua, in court proceedings concerning the minor son. Like John Hall, this minor disappeared from Maryland. After an extensive search with the help of a Maryland researcher, I concluded the child was Moses Wilkerson. I'd be very happy to answer any questions with regards to my research. As always any findings should be used as a basis to further research.

Hi,
Is the document referencing Moses Wilkinson/Wilkerson as their child posted to this site and if not, would you consider scanning and uploading? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much.

Please disregard this note. I missed your posting where you stated you "concluded" it was Moses. That is what I get for rushing.
