Notes

William Wilkins and his wife Janet, had three sons, James, Robert and William, the last two dying without issue. The former removed to Peter's township, in Cumberland county, Pa. There may have been daughters, but I have not been able to ascertain that fact.

In the year 1734 William Wilkins died, and in the year following his widow Janet, married Nathaniel (Litle) Lytle, who at that time owned twenty-seven acres of land adjoining the Wilkins tract. From the administratrix's accounts filed in the Wilkins estate, it would seem that Lytle was employed by him, and I infer that he was employed to trade with the Indians for him, as it was customary for the old Indian traders to employ men who took charge of "pack horses," loaded with merchandise". " These Indian traders traveled hundreds of miles to various Indian towns to barter their goods for their master".
