I was asked today if I knew of a Wilkes Museum in America, possibly in
North or South Carolina.  (Wilkes' wife was from Buckinghamshire, he
lived here for a time, but I don't remember that he ever went to America
... perhaps during his period of exile?  Were his political views so
influencial in America that a museum honoring him was founded?)

Many thanks for any advice which I can pass on (and which I can add to
our Wilkes file).
