Andrew Jackson Wilkinson, son of Simon Wilkinson and Betsy Poor, was born about 1815 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and died 27 September 1881.  He was married 30 October 1855 to Cordelia Mary Kettelle, daughter of Daniel Gookin Kettelle and Susan Tyler.  She was born 2 July 1827 in Worcester, Massachusetts and died 12 December 1864 in Newton, Massachusetts.  They had four children:
     1.  William H. Wilkinson, born 28 July 1857 in Boston, married Delia E. Mack
     2.  Andrew Kettelle Wilkinson, born 13 July 1858, died 23 August 1863
     3.  Mary A. Wilkinson, born about 1859, married James F. Clifford

Andrew Jackson Wilkinson was a hardware merchant in Boston. He established a hardware store in 1842.  It was located in several places, including 2 Washington Street (in the 1861 Boston City Directory) and later on 184 Washington Street (see the 1875 catalog) and Devonshire Street (see the 1908 bill).   His son William carried on the business and had a manufacturing plant in West Medway.
