There is another reference to William in Lancaster County, PA, in the area that would later become Cumberland County. There were a number of inhabitants of the area who signed a petition to the Penns asking for a road to be built from John Harris' ferry on the Susquehanna, which would later become the site of Harrisburg, through Cumberland County to an area not distinguished. Quite a number of early settlers signed it, including James and William, here spelled Wekely as well as Robert Weakley's grandfather, Robert Rutherford. (Not sure if he is also grandfather of James & William). The petition was dated May 21, 1735.
On this same list of petitioners is James Woods, whose son Robert Woods appears in the 1749 tithables of Lunenburg County, VA. This same Robert Woods patented 5,000 acres of land in 1765 in what would become Franklin County, VA.
