Patrick Wilkie

Under his will proved 30/07/1789 [PROB 11/1182/140], Patrick Wilkie of the island of St Vincent at present residing in Scotland left his estate Ratho Miln and other leased lands and purchased lots in trust, to secure an annuity of £200 p.a. to his wife Mrs Jane Napier and then half to his sister Anne Wilkie the wife of Henry Hepburn the Collector of Customs at Preston Pans, and half to James Newbigging, writer in Edinburgh, one of his trustees. Patrick Wilkie was among the signatories of the 1783 Address by the absentee planters and merchants to George III.

1. In 1792, the creditors of John Vetch, a bankrupt London merchant ('Grocer, dealer and chapman'), were invited to meet the assignees to assent or dissent from a proposal to compound a debt of £7000 owed to John Vetch by the estate of Patrick Wilkie and secured on an estate of Wilkie's on St Vincent.
