Reported age at time of death was 6 months, so evidently born about DEC 1856. Son of Francis G. WILKINS and his second wife, Lucinda (KING) WILKINS, whom he married 01 JAN 1852 in Muscogee County, Georgia.
Buster Wright's "Burials and Deaths Reported in the Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer [Newspaper], 1832-1872" (1984), p. 507, shows: John Billing WILKINS, infant son of Col. F. G. and Lucinda WILKINS, died 28 JUN 1857 at Columbus (published 07 JUL 1857).
John H. Martin’s “The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65,” Volume II (1875), p. 100, shows on a list of deaths for 1857: child of F. G. WILKINS, 29 JUN 1857 (from a version of the Sexton's quarterly report - presumed to be date of burial).
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 211, shows: child of F. G. WILKINS died aged 6 months of “teething”; buried 29 JUN 1857 (from “April 1 to July 1, 1857, Sexton’s Report of deaths in City,” dated 13 JUL 1857). [Note that, despite the title, these are generally understood to be reports of interments in the city cemeteries, rather than accounts of the deaths within the city.]
This grave is probably not identifiably marked. It is very likely in the lot with his parents, Dolores Autry’s Section B, Lot 26 ("WILKINS" on step) - see her "Historic Linwood Cemetery" book, Volume 1.
