Aquilla Kesterson was the wife of George Kesterson only known son of Thomas Kesterson the Immigrant. Researchers differ as to her maiden name. Some say it was BEE - which I can find no proof of nor any logical reason. I believe it was FRY because of the will of William Fry which left his entire estate to his grandson William Kesterson and he appointed George Kesterson his Administrator.
