From the notes of Tommie Joe Stapleton:
William Taylor Wilkins is buried at Little Mississippi Cemetery, about 6-8 miles northwest of Franklin, Texas, along the road toward Bremond/Calvert area. His wife, Catharine Amanda Hough Wilkins is also buried there.
1870 Census Records, Wayne County, Mississippi shows William Wilkins T. was a 21 year old farmer, born in Alabama, living with Eli C., 17 year old FEMALE - this is a census taker error: Eli was male brother of William Taylor Wilkins. Presuming that William Wilkins T. is William Taylor Wilkins. He lived next door to parents, Samuel and Obedience Wilkins at the time of this census.

1900 Census, Robertson County, Texas:
According to the 1900 Robertson County, Texas census, the William Taylor Wilkins (listed as Taylor Wilkins) lived two doors down from Rufus New.
Listed are:
Taylor Wilkins
Amanda C. wife (We have her as Catherine Amanda)
Arra
DeWitt
Jay B.
Clarice (this might say Clarence (not legible) - might be a hired person.
Also listed in this census is: Travis B. Wilkins and wife Irene.
On the headstone his middle name is misspelled Teylor instead of Taylor
From the notes of Tommie Jo Stapleton:
Catherine Amanda (18 Sep 1854 MS - 1932 TX) was a fifteen year old in 1870 with a McIlwain family in Wayne County. (Catherine Amanda does not fit well into this family and may be a niece or grandchild).
At this time (March 1999), it is not proven who the parents of Catherine Amanda Hough were. It is felt by Dr. Granville Hough that Alson, Singleton or Alfred Hough are the best bets. At the present time, she is listed as a possible child of Alfred Hough.
O'Lene Stone found the following record in a book (Who Married Whom. Wayne Co. MS by Jean Strickland and Patricia N. Edwards):
This book that I have says that a William F. [could be T.] Wilkins [son of Samuel & Obedience Wilkins] in 1876 married Amanda Harris[ but that could have been Hough instead, you know how hard that writing is to read].
Since William Taylor Wilkins and Catherine Amanda Hough had children before 1876, I doubt this is the Wilkin's marriage we are looking for.
Catherine Amanda (18 Sep 1854 MS - 1932 TX) was a fifteen year old in 1870 with a McIlwain family in Wayne County. (Catherine Amanda does not fit well into this family and may be a niece or grandchild).
About 1872, probably in Wayne Co, MS, she married William Taylor WILKINS (1848 - 1925 TX), and their WILKINS children were Obedience, Ida Nida Sarah Tobiatha, Arra Nettie, DeWitt, Travis Boss, Jay B. and Hattie Ora Wilkins.
At this time (March 1999), it is not proven who the parents of Catherine Amanda Hough were. It is felt by Dr. Granville Hough that Alson, Alfred Hough, or Singleton Hough are the best bets. At the present time, she is listed as a possible child of Alfred Hough.
O'Lene Stone's copy of a Wayne Co., MS book shows that in 1870, Catherine Amanda was living with Robert McIlwain family (1870 census). Robert McIlwain married Elizabeth (born in AZ 1829) and they had the following children in their household: Susan b. AL 1852 (Choctaw County, AL); Cornwell b. 1859; and Shelton, born 1866. An Amanda HUGH was shown as living with them. The name was probably misspelled as this is no doubt Catherine Amanda HOUGH. Catherine Amanda may have been a hired girl or a relative, perhaps of the wife, Elizabeth or of Robert McIlwain.
