a native of Dutchess county, who came to Wayne county in 1830. In early life the latter was captain of a sloop,
then became a general merchant in Steuben county for ten years. Returning to this county he followed farming until
his death in 1857, aged seventy three. He married Mary, daughter of William Smith, of Dutchess county, and they
had twelve children, five now living. Joseph has followed farming, and keeps a dairy of twenty head of cattle,
selling milk in the city of Rochester, and is also a stockholder in the Producer's Milk Company of Rochester. His
farm comprises 150 acres, mostly under cultivation. In 1855 he married Elizabeth, daughter of William Lapham, and
a descendant of the old pioneer family so well known throughout this part of the county. Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson
have had these children: Gilbert R., William L., John C. and Minnie E. Mr. Wilkinson and family are members of
