Francis WILSON was a farmer in NE Essex.  He was born about 1700 and married Susannah HEMPSON at Tendring in 1724.  They baptised three children there before Susannah died and Francis remarried Mary CARRINGTON .

 

Francis and Mary baptised three more children at Tendring but at some time they moved to a farm called Jaywick near Clacton.  He died there in 1765.  He was relatively wealthy, as he left property at Jaywick and at Lt.Okely to his sons and made generous marriage settlements for his daughters Susannah and Mary

BIRTH

 

Francis married first in December 1724 aged 25 and secondly in 1731 aged 31.  A birth date of about 1700 is therefore expected, but nothing is yet known

 

MARRIAGE

 

Susannah WILSON-8 was baptised at Tendring in 1727 daughter of Francis and Susannah WILSON.  The baptism is preceded by a matching marriage also at Tendring:

 

m 22Dec1724 Francis WILSON 25 single & Susannah HEMPSON 19 single of Ramsey by licence

 

Ramsey is about 6 miles NE of Tendring

 

Susannah’s will mentions her brother Carrington WILSON.   Carrington was baptised at Tendring, but was the son of Francis & Mary.  The unusual forename identifies him without doubt as the brother, but having a different mother, he was in fact a half-brother.  His baptism is preceded by a suitable marriage at Little Bentley only 2 miles from Tendring:

 

m 25Oct1731 Francis WILSON 31 & Mary CARRINGTON 21

 

the burial registers of Tendring have not yet been examined, but a burial of Susannah would be expected between 1730 and 1732

 

DESCENDANTS

 

Francis' will identifies his sons Carrington and Francis and daughters Susanna SIMONS and Mary COLE. A farm was bequeathed to William WILSON who can be identified as a third son from the will of Sussanah-8 since she appointed her brothers Carrington (of St Osyth) and William (of Tendring) as executors.

 

The baptism of all these descendants took place at Tendring:

DEATH

 

The burial registers of Tendring have not yet been examined, but the death of Francis can be dated from his will which was signed in July 1765 and proved in November of that year:
