The sisters' names are Mary Jane (19 years old), Susan (15) and Joanna (14).
The Wilks sisters are the daughters of Peter Wilks, who has recently died, leaving them a whole bunch of money. This is in Chapter 24. The "king" and the "duke" find out about Wilks' death and they also hear that his two brothers are going to be arriving very soon from England. The brothers are really not well known to the American part of the family.
When the duke and king hear this, they decide to defraud the Wilks family by pretending to be the brothers.
