The WTX020SD has a power plug attached to it in the picture. What is the description of this plug so that I may order some to power the device. The product page at:

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11125

doesn't describe the type of plug that is to be used.

I have watched a number of tutorials on You Tube where this device is used and they all seem to power through that socket as opposed to through the pins of the device.

Measuring from the screen and correcting for scale it seems to have a 2 mm pitch between the prongs. Instead of the 2.54mm like between the holes on the board.

This product has the same socket, and you can view how it looks from the side in the 3d view. Should fit. Sparkfun seems to use these 2mm pitch JST connectors for all battery connectors

Whoops, forgot to add the link:

I ordered and received some JST connectors from eBay ... see:

However, the male plugs didn't fit ... they were too big and don't have the correct "notches". I'm a newbie I had figured that a "JST" plug was a "JST" plug. It looks like there is a different plug needed ... my question continues

The connector is this one, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8612. All you had to do was search "jst" in the Sparkfun products. The datasheet is linked on the page.
