Hello Terry;
I looked in the NSDAR Patriot Index and located the following information:

WILKINS, William
Birth: VA 14 May 1746
Service: NC
Rank: Pvt
Death: SC 2 Apr 1807
Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No
Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No
Spouse: (1) Elizabeth Terrell

Since someone has established membership in the NSDAR through him, you may obtain a copy of the DAR application by sending a check for $10.00 payable to Treasurer General NSDAR. Provide the patriot information and if you know the child of the Patriot through whom descent is claimed, provide that also. Mail the check along with the information to:

Record Copy Department
Registrar General NSDAR
Administration Building
1776 D Street NW
Washington, DC 20006-5303.

Requests for record copies may take six to eight weeks as they are very busy.

If you are interested in DAR membership, each chapter has members who will assist you in connecting to your Revolutionary Patriot. If you would like more information about joining DAR or finding a chapter in your area, please let me know.

Hope this helps and if we can help you again, please feel free to contact us.

On a side note, I have a Betsy Terrell married to a Silas Hine in my family. But they were married in New York in 1786. Good luck in your research.

Warmly,
Sara
DAR Volunteer Information Specialist
