Wonder if your book has any mention of a Wilks(Wilkes) family. Miles Wilks married Mariah Perkins 10 Nov 1836. I find them in the 1850 census with children Leander age 8 and Emma age 6 in Lewis Township. Miles has disappeared from the census in 1860, but the rest of his family is listed, In the 1850 census Miles is listed as a pilot, and I am assuming it is a river pilot. If there is any mention of this family, I would appreciate very much hearing from you. Thank you.
