Notes - John Wiltsee, son of Thomas Wiltsee, s. of Jeremiah, s. of Cornelius, s. of Marten Wiltsee, b. Jan. 9, 1770, m. Miss Polly Burns, June 15, 1788; d. in 1852. He first lived at Pownal, Vt., after his marriage. He moved to Duanesburg and lived several years, and then accompanied his cousins Cornell and Benjamin Wiltsee to Onondaga Co., New York, in the spring of 1813 and settled at Marcellus, four miles from Skaneatelas. He made his home there the remainder of his life. He became wealthy, and gave each of his family a farm and personal property to do business with. He visited his parents when his mother was about to die in Pownal. He visited his brother Jeremiah in 1841, and his relatives in Chautauqua Co., N. Y. He visited them again in the spring of 1844 before the death of his brother, and the family and others in the summer of 1850. He made the journeys with a single horse hitched to a covered carriage. His wife was dead, and he was extremely fleshy. It was difficult for him to walk far, and traveling was very tiresome for him.
