Biography: 
An early partner of AHW. Their firm, "Worden & Wiltse," is mentioned by Henry in 18230812WHS_SSS1. Worden & Wiltse seemed to occupy an old cotton mill, but it is unsure whether their business was solely in fiber production and weaving. Worden & Wiltse was dissolved in 1828. Wiltse then went on to be the warden of Sing Sing prison. One account says Wiltse died at the Sing Sing prison (he served 1830-1840) and another says that WHS, when he became governor of New York, fired Wiltse in 1839 after witnessing the harsh punishment the inmates were subject to.
