Wilkinson, James

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Wilkinson, James (1757–1825)

US soldier and conspirator. Born in Calvert County, Maryland, he served in the American Revolution under Benedict Arnold and Horatio Gates and joined the Conway Cabal, the group that schemed against Washington. Seemingly a conspirator by nature, he intrigued with Aaron Burr to establish a separate nation on the western frontier; when the plot was discovered, he had the effrontery to order Burr's arrest. Leader of the failed expedition to Montreal in 1813, Wilkinson left the army in 1815.
