Descendants of Phillip and/or Godfrey Wilkin

I am looking for information on George Wilkins (born early 1700s), the brother of Godfrey Wilkins of Frederick Co VA.They were listed as Wilkey in their 1757 deed in Frederick and in rent roles there in 1759 1764, and I think my Wilkey ancestor, Alexander Wilkey, links to one of those brothers (most likely George).Some in our family said they came from Germany.
Alexander Wilkey born 1750 and James Wilkey (probably a brother) received militia pay in Romney, Frederick Co in 1775.Alexander Wilkey is possibly/probably the father of my 3g grandfather, David Wilkey (born 1783 NC).Alexander married Susannah Mourning Stockton of Albemarle Co VA.
The surname was periodically spelled Wilkins (by census takers) although we spelled it Wilkie/Wilkey.
Any information on George Wilkey born early 1700s would be appreciated.
