      Executors: Rebecca Wilkinson, John Wilkinson.

      I believe this account is the son of William Wilkinson and Catherine Stone.

      So did this William Wilkinson the son marry a Rebecca ? if so his
      wife and brother administered his estate.

      Do we know maiden name of William Wilkinson's Wife?

      and to stay consistant.

      John Hall married Anne Clarke daughter of Robert Clarke Sr. and Sarah Combs. and his son William Hall was listed on account of William Wilkinson who apparently was a neighbor to John Hall who married Ann Clarke.

      (David Makgill)(Makgilt), Edmund Plowden

      And William Wilkinson is also mentioned in Will of James Bowles a close associate of Robert Clarke Sr..

      Could it be possible that James Bowles and 2nd wife Rebecca Addison had a daughter Rebecca Bowles that married William Wilkinson?

      I know he doesn't mention any children but a Jane Bowles in his will, but if they were already older and had recieved their inheritance, of course I'm guessing on that.
