Regarding the 1779 sale of property outside of Philadelphia in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, from Thomas Willing to Amos Hickersham and Jacob Shallus, a tract named "Elmdon" situated on the west branch of the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County in present-day Watsontown Borough.  

Jacob Shallus (1750–April 18, 1796) was the engrosser or penman of the original copy of the United States Constitution, which is now on display in the Rotunda of the Charters of Freedom at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C.  The son of German immigrants, Shallus volunteered in the Revolutionary War, during which he fought in Canada and became quartermaster of Pennsylvania's 1st Battalion.  Shallus was likely recommended for the job by Thomas Mifflin, a Pennsylvania Convention delegate who also served as Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly, which had many of their acts engrossed by Shallus. 

Thomas Willing (December 19, 1731 – January 19, 1821) served as mayor of Philadelphia and was a delegate from Pennsylvania to the Continental Congress. He served as the first president of the Bank of North America and the First Bank of the United States, at one point becoming the richest man in America.
