| (1) | Edmond Wilson of Etton (a 1440, 2nd son) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Ann Woodrove (dau of Thomas Woodrove of Woolley) | |||||||||||||||
| There is some confusion over the next few generations. Berry shows Edmond's (younger) son William as father (by _ Wells) of the Thomas who married Julian Upton. Walker shows a separate section on this family ('Wilson of Strubby, co. Linc.') which starts with William (m. dau of John Haringill) father of Edmund (m. Grace Leake), missing out Thomas (m. Julian Upton). Provisionally, we follow Walker's main section. | |||||||||||||||

| m. _ Dighton of Lincolnshire | |||||||||||||||
| A. | Thomas Wilson | ||||||||||||||
| Walker shows this Thomas as d 1581, Dean of Durham. However, that appears to be a confusion with another Thomas below. | |||||||||||||||
| i. | Richard Wilson | ||||||||||||||
| m. _ Starkey (dau of _ Starkey of Stretton) | |||||||||||||||
| The Harleian editor added a little to the confusion on this family by not making fully clear how data continues over a page, apparently affecting both Richard's family and that of the Edmund who m. Grace Leake. We think we have got it right! | |||||||||||||||
| a. | John Wilson of Wantage, Berkshire | ||||||||||||||
| m. _ Dow of Lickinge | |||||||||||||||

| m2. Eleanor Budd of London (dsp) | |||||||||||||||
| 2. | Edmund (Edmond) Wilson of Tockwith, Yorkshire | ||||||||||||||
| m. Grace Leake (dau of John Leake of Tockwith) | |||||||||||||||
| In his section on 'Wilson of Strubby', Walker shows Edmond as son of William and father of Thomas (m. _ Commerworth) without mentioning the following William. Visitation (Sussex, 1633-4, Wilson), supported by Berry, show Edmond as younger son of Thomas (by Julia Upton) and father of Thomas of Tockwith, father of William (m. _ Gaston), thereby inserting an additional generation (Thomas). Provisionally, we follow Walker's main section in excluding that Thomas (or treating the following William as brother of the father of the Secretary of State). However, this may be reviewed further in due course. | |||||||||||||||
| A. | William Wilson of Tockwith, Yorkshire | ||||||||||||||
| m. _ Garton (or Gaston) of Tolthorpe | |||||||||||||||
| i. | John Wilson of Tockwith | ||||||||||||||
| m. Maud Smith (d 29.08.1613, dau of William Smith of Dringhouses) | |||||||||||||||
| a. | John Wilson of Tockwith, later of Sheffield House, Sussex (b c1565, d 01.02.1640-1) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation (Sussex, 1662, Wilson of Eastbourne) starts with John but refers to the 1634 Visitation for the earlier generations (above). BP1934 (Maryon-Wilson of East Borne) starts with John's parents whom it shows as Thomas (b 1525, d 1581, Secretary of State for Queen Elizabeth) & Anne, dau of Sir William Wynter, whom we show below. That disagrees with the Visitations which, supported by DNB & 'The Genealogist' (mentioned below), we follow. | |||||||||||||||
| m. (25.06.1601) Mary Gardner (d 29.08.1613, dau of Thomas Gardner or Gardener or Gardiner of London by Katherine, dau of Richard Chapman of Murdock) | |||||||||||||||
| (1) | Sir William Wilson, 1st Bart of Eastbourne, Sheriff of Sussex (d 09.12.1685) | ||||||||||||||
| Walker shows William as 4th son, 3rd to live past childhood, but stops at this generation. TCB (vol 3, 'Wilson of Eastborne', p170) identifies him as 3rd but eldest surviving son. The following comes from the above-mentioned Visitation (1662) & BP1934, the latter identifying Sir William as "3rd and eldest surviving son". | |||||||||||||||

| B. | Thomas Wilson of Strubby (d 1551, yeoman farmer) | ||||||||||||||
| Walker shows this Thomas as father (by dau/heir of Sir Roger Commerworth) of the Thomas who was master of Requests and Secretary of State for Queen Elizabeth. Thanks to a contributor (CV, 10.10.11) for drawing our attention to the DNB article for Thomas Wilson (the younger) which provides a little more detail on both Thomases and identifies the elder's wife (and mother of the younger) as Anne Cumberworth. This is supported by 'The Gentleman's Magazine' (NS vol3, 1835 (Jan-Jun), p468+) which identifies her as ... | |||||||||||||||
| m. Anne Cumberworth (dau/heir of Roger Cumberworth of Cumberworth by Margery, dau/heir of Hugh Braytofte of Braytofte Hall) | |||||||||||||||
| i. | Thomas Wilson (b 1523-4, d 20.05.1581, Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth) | ||||||||||||||
| (1) TCB (vol 1, Burdett of Bramcott) reports that the Thomas who was Secretary of State was also Dean of Durham. This suggests that the identification above of another Thomas above as Dean of Durham may have been mistaken. (2) Walker & 'The Gentleman's Magazine' identify Thomas's wife as Ann, dau of Sir William Winter. DNB supports the Winter records in showing her a generation earlier. |

| In his section on the Wilsons of Strubby, Walker identifies a Thomas as "2nd son of Thos.", showing him as if he was of the same generation as Edmond (shown above) but not indicating which Thomas he was son of and without giving a clue as to what his line is mentioned alongside but not connected to that of Edmond. It is presumptuous to show this Thomas here but we do so so that we do not lose sight of the data provided on this Thomas and his family. | |||||||||||||||
