Notes |
- Source: Ricki Wilkins, granddaughter
He went by multiple aliases:
* Jasper Daniel Wilkins
* J. Dan Wilkins
* John Dan Wilkins
He deserted his wife and children in 1922 in Chicago. Subsequently, the children became wards of the State of Illinois. The Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society has been very helpful in detailing the events occurring to this family and the children. Most were put into foster homes and most remained in limited contact into their adulthood. Many, despite the hardships of the Great Depression, multiple foster homes or orphanages, rose above their humble beginnings and became productive, contributing members of society. There are several stories of several of these children overcoming these poor odds and becoming successful business people and/or parents.
Daniel Emerson Wilkins was reported to be living in or near Dekalb County, AL with another family in 1952 with a son, Douglas, who "was not an orphan". No further information is known to date.
