Tobias Wilkie was a cooper and farmer in Chatham County, NC. He married Elizabeth Clark (1803-1888) July 4, 1823 in Orange County, NC. Tobias and Elizabeth had a total of 13 children.
Court records indicate that when he died at age 48, there was a sale of his property (about 200 acres), cooperage, and personal belongings to settle outstanding debts. Some of the land was deeded to his widow Elizabeth, though she apparently did have to buy back some of her household effects. Tobias was apparently quite literate as indicated by the number and types of books possessed, including medical books, a dictionary, and a geography & atlas among others.
