Susannah was baptised at Tendring in 1727, daughter of Francis WILSON, a farmer. She married another farmer, William SIMONS at nearby Gt.Bromley when she was 24 and after six children were born, they moved some way south to Hatfield Peveril, where her last daughter was baptised at Terling. William died at an early age (about 40) and Susannah remarried
another farmer, widower William SPEAKMAN of Terling in 1772 but had no more
children. Her marriage settlement made sure that properties she owned in
Weeley and Gt.Okeley remained hers to bequeath to her SIMONS children. She made her will in 1776 and died 8 years
later at Writtle in 1784 |

Susannah
married William SIMONS at Gt.Bomley in 1751 and died in 1784 so a birth date
around 1720/30 is expected. Susannah's
father can be identified as Francis WILSON of Gt Clacton from his 1765 will
(see Francis WILSON-9) as it mentions his daughter Susannah, wife of William
SIMONS. There is a suitable baptism
fulfilling all these conditions at Tendring, 8 miles from Clacton:
C
6Oct1727 Susan d Francis & Susannah WILSON at Tendring
Anne
Martha SIMONS-7 was born about 1760, daughter of William & Susannah SIMONS. The will of Hugh SIMONS of Elmstead proves
that Hugh was William's father, suggesting William's origin was in or near
Elmstead. Moreover, Susannah's will
(see below) shows she had property in this region of Essex. There is a suitable
marriage for William SIMONS & Susannah in the parish of Gt.Bromley adjacent
to Elmsted.
m 1751
William SIMONS & Susanna WILSON at
Gt.Bromley
[this record is from Boyd's index; the
original register has not yet been examined]
Susannah's
will showed that she remarried William SPEAKMAN of Terling and there is a
suitable marriage at nearby Hatfield Peveril:
m
22May1772 William SPAKEMAN wdr of Terling & Susannah SIMONS wid by
licence [signed Susan]
Susannah's
will written in 1776 identifies her sons William & Samuel and her under-age
daughters Elizabeth, Polley (wife of Thomas LUCKING), Ann‑Martha,
Catherine, Sally. It is not clear
whether William & Samuel are also under age, ie born after 1755. The 1774
will of Hugh SIMONS, William's father mentions first his grandson William and
then his under aged grandchildren Elizabeth, Polly, Ann, Catherine, Sarah,
Samuel.
Only one
baptism of these children has been found, at Terling:
C
16May1764 Sally d Wm & Susanna SIMONS farmer of Hatfield
the older
children were probably baptised in the Elmstead/Gt.Bromley area; tentative
dates being: William 1753, Elizabeth 1755, Polley 1757, Ann Martha 1759,
Catherine 1761, Sally 1764. The birth
date for Samuel is uncertain though he is younger than William
Polly and
Elizabeth were married at Terling:
m
12Sep1774 Thos LUCKING of Terling & Polly SYMONS spr of Terling
C 3Oct1776 John natural son Elizabeth SYMONS
m
27Oct1776 John WHITE otp & Eliz SIMONS otp by licence
Susannah
remarried William SPEAKMAN in 1772 at Hatfield Peveril. William SIMONS probably died around 1770 at
Hatfield Peveril but the burial records for this parish at SoG go up to 1721
only and the register itself has not been examined.
Susannah's
will was proved on 12Jul1784 and it was noted that she died six months since at
Writtle - ie Jan1784; the Writtle registers have not been examined for her
burial
