"Wilkes: A Name Immortalized in History" The name "Wilkes" carries with it a rich tapestry of events and individuals that have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. From the infamous Lincoln assassination to the world of entomology, this name has traversed diverse realms. One cannot mention Wilkes without conjuring images of one of history's most tragic moments - the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. John Wilkes Booth, forever etched in infamy, carried out this heinous act at Ford's Theatre in Washington D. C. On April 14, 1865. The contemporary lithograph depicting this event serves as a chilling reminder of the dark chapter that unfolded. Yet beyond this somber association lies another facet of the Wilkes legacy - one rooted in entertainment and sport. The Playbill featuring Harry Wilkes by George Wilkes showcases their contributions to theater and performance arts during their time. Similarly, Aston Villa FA Cup Winners' triumph in 1894-5 stands as a testament to their sporting prowess. Delving into genealogy reveals even more intriguing connections within the family tree. Molly Walker, sired by Capt. Wa and dammed by George Wilkes' horse named Harry Wilkes, exemplifies how lineage intertwines across different domains. The story takes an unexpected turn when exploring entomology - specifically flies, dragonflies, and moths associated with the field. While seemingly unrelated at first glance, these insects bear ties to both scientific research and artistic expression through illustrations like William Hogarth's "The Bruiser. " Intriguingly enough, even amidst such varied associations surrounding "Wilkes, " there remains a common thread tying them together - historical significance or notoriety. Whether it be rewards offered for capturing John Wilkes Booth or broadsides issued by the War Department seeking justice for President Lincoln's assassination; each instance underscores how deeply intertwined this name is with pivotal moments in history.
