Are you in luck!
Not a family I am researching. When I run across good info, I try to pass it along. Something I do when my own research bogs down. I have nothing more on this family. Hope it helps...

Born in Philadelphia, son of Abraham and Rachel Wilt. Came to St. Louis in June 1811 and opened a store on the southwest corner of Main and Locust with his brother Andrew Wilt, under sponsorship of their uncle Joseph Hertzog of Philadelphia. He became a director of the Bank of St. Louis, and owned a mill and a distillery on the Cahokia Creek in Illinois. Married Ann Kirkwood, 1815; had a son, George, who died in 1823.
