John Wallis of Linton

[bearkat]

Mr John WALLIS, gent, died at Linton (Lynton) in May 1702.

His will mentions his brother Edward, wife Rebecca and daughter Jane, aged under 21.

There are a few possible baptisms for a John Wallis in Kent but finding one with a brother called Edward is proving difficult.

I can't see a baptism for Jane nor a marriage for John to Rebecca so they may not have been a local family. 

The family appear on some Ancestry trees but there seems to be little supporting evidence.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get further back with this family?

  Is this any good?

 John Wallis married Rebecca Clarke 23 Sept 1677, St Saviour Southwark.
  Jane Wallis bapt 12 Aug 1684, St Margaret Westminster, parents John and Rebecca.

Thanks, that certainly sounds more promising than the info on Ancestry trees.  Jane married in 1703. her marriage licence, if I could find it, might help.

Yes, I'd found those.

I was interested to find out where they came from because it seemed unlikely to be Kent. It would be nice to find some supporting evidence that the London couple moved to Linton.
