Wilton of Pitcombe
« on: Saturday 09 April 16 11:08 BST (UK) »
Hi!
    Can anyone help with any of the following?

I have the following children baptised at Pitcombe, Somerset, (no parents details given):

Robert Wilton 10th June 1548

Jane Wilton 27th November 1550

John Wilton 2nd April 1551

Joan Wilton 30th November 1553

Margaret Wilton 18th December 1553

Mary Wilton 4th April 1555

Robert Wilton 9th January 1558

John Wilton 16th October 1560

Edith Wilton 7th June 1565

also two children I cannot find baptisms for George and Elizabeth Wilton.

From information gained from family wills, Elizabeth Wilton married a Toby Pleydell (Pledall), and died in 1634 at Cumnor, Berkshire. Her will was disputed between her sisters son Thomas Jennings, and her alleged brother John Wilton senior.

Edith Wilton married a Thomas Jennings on 11th January 1590 at Pitcombe and had the following issue:

Thomas Jennings baptised 15th August 1591, Daventry, Northamptonshire

Richard Jennings baptised 13th April 1595, Daventry, Northamptonshire

William Jennings baptised 13th April 1595, Daventry, Northamptonshire

Jane Jennings baptised 26th February 1597, Daventry, Northamptonshire

John Jennings baptised 24th September 1600, Daventry, Northamptonshire

Edith Wiltons brother George Wilton married Anne Dalby and his first two children were also baptised at Daventry in 1589 and 1590 - Deliverance and Patience Wilton.

Deliverance Wilton (born 1588/9 Daventry) left a will in 1627 where he mentions Richard Jennings and wife and children.

If anyone can help with the Wiltons parentage or any of the above much appreciated!
