THIRD GENERATION

 

7.  Nicanor PILKINTON was born about 1750 in Essex County Virginia.

“Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost   and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch.” Acts 6: 3-5

 

Nicanor (ny- cane – or) is indeed an unusual name, but Biblical in origin and in translation meaning a “conqueror”, or “victorious”. Nicanor was born circa 1750 to 1755 most likely in Essex County of the colony of Virginia”

He was married.  Nicanor PILKINTON had the following children:

1. William PILKINTON was born in 1775 in Virginia, USA.  He died in Aug 1849 in Guilford County, North Carolina. William Pilkinton of Essex County, Virginia. Nicanor named his first son William, which due to naming customs of early tidewater Chesapeake families, one may assume that William was the name of Nicanor’s paternal grandfather. Since there was a William Pilkinton in Essex County, that would tend to bolster the case for Nicanor to be related to the Essex group (if added to the preponderance of the evidence) COPYRIGHT James Fred Pilkinton Jr. 2004
