My ancestor was Charles Dister (1614-1692). He wed Ann in about 1645. I have a good feeling that Anne was Anne Raymond originally, sister of Oliver Raymond but need to try and confirm it for sure. Not found their marriage yet.
In 1640, a George Scott bore an indenture in September 1640 between George Scott and Oliver Raymond of a marriage agreed upon by George Scott and Anne Raymond - a marriage that never took place. Seems George died by 1642 and was lost at sea as his will was proved in 1642. In his will he mentions his brother Frederick Scott.
In 1647, Charles and Anne Dister are plaintiffs in a case against Frederick Scott about the personal estate of George Scott. Also in 1649 Charles Dister is the plaintiff against Frederick Scott regarding a marriage contract.
Charles' father John Dister left a will in 1657 and mentions his son Charles and grandson Charles, and mentions land he bought off Oliver Raymond Esq for his son Charles Dister (born 1614), and if Charles dies, then to Charles' son Charles (born c1650).
Charles Jnr born c1650 was apprenticed in London in 1668 to St Clere Raymond, who was Oliver's son. Charles married Hannah Aylett and they had some children. Charles left a will in 1692 mentioning wife and children. One of the witnesses to the will was John Raymond.
Oliver died in 1679 and left a will but only mentioned wife and children. Apparently his dad John Raymond died in 1635 and his mum Anne (Nee Sparrow) died in 1652 in Belchamp Walter. I cannot find evidence they left any wills.
