William Pilkington and Martin Harris


http://theearlyanthology.tripod.com/1828/id5.html

William Pilkington was the brother of my great-grandmother Isabella Pilkington who married Thomas Livsey.  When he was 12 years old he went to work for the Martin Harris family and heard the dying testimony of Martin Harris.  I am descended through Ellen Lydia Livsey, the daugther of Thomas and Isabella, and Vesta Isabella Pettersson, the daughter of Nicholas Peter Pettersson and Ellen Lydia Livsey.
