Dr. Jeptha Wilkinson was the youngest brother of The Public Universal Friend [Jemima Wilkinson], with others, explored the 'Genesse Country,' guided by Indians, before the Friend's settlement here began, and it was largely upon his recommendation that Jemima Wilkinson decided upon this locality for the experiment she was about to try of establishing a community of Friends. Jeptha became a physician and died in New York city during the plague of 1803." Penn Yan Democrat, 15 January 1909
"Jeptha took part in the explorations of the Genesee Country that led to the Society's settling here, though he never came here himself. He went to New York City and practiced medicine there until his death in 1803 during an epidemic of the plague [yellow fever]."
