Wilkeson family.
Judge Samuel Wilkeson was involved in shipping and the manufacture of stoves and engines. He was the first judge of Erie County, an early mayor of Buffalo (1836), and a representative in the State Assembly and Senate. He was instrumental in the construction of Buffalo Harbor and the choice of Buffalo as the western terminus of the Erie Canal, and he was active in the abolitionist movement as a member of the American Colonization Society.
