Rev. Michael Wigglesworth1
M, b. 18 October 1631, d. 10 June 1705
Rev. Michael Wigglesworth was born on 18 October 1631 in Yorkshire, England.2,3,4 He was the son of Edward Wigglesworth and Esther Middlebrook.2 Wigglesworth studied for a time at a school kept by Ezekiel Cheever; graduated Harvard, A.B., 1651, A.M., 1654, and a Fellow of the College, 1652-54. Having fitted himself for the ministry, he preached at Charlestown in 1653-1654, and was pastor at Malden from 1656 until his death, though for twenty years or more bodily infirmities prevented his regular attendance upon duties - Cotton Mather describes him as "a little feeble shadow of a man." During this interval he studied medicine and began a successful practice. He was again a Fellow of Harvard in 1697-1705 and is the author of the poem, The Day of Doom; or a Poetical Description of the Great and Last Judgment (1662), which was reprinted in England, and reached ten editions in America. For a century this realistic and terrible expression of the prevailing Calvanisitc theology was by far the most popular work written in America. He was the author of other religious poems. His biography was written by John Ward Dean (Boston, 1871).5,3 Rev. Michael Wigglesworth married firstly Mary Rayner on 18 May 1655 at Rowley, Massachusetts.2 Rev. Michael Wigglesworth married secondly Martha Mudge before 1682 in Malden (his "servant mayd ... not 20 years old": see Increase Mather's pleas against this marriage in Sibley, I, 281.)1,6 Rev. Michael Wigglesworth married thirdly Sybil Sparhawk, daughter of Nathaniel Sparhawk and Patience Newman, on 23 June 1691.6 Rev. Michael Wigglesworth died on 10 June 1705 in Malden at the age of 73.2,3,4

(unkown) Wilascot of Salop1
M
(unkown) Wilascot of Salop married (unknown) Lee of Langley, daughter of (unknown) Lee of Langley.
There is some doubt whether the vill of Wollascott was a member of Albrighton, but the balance of evidence favours such a supposition rather than say any other. The Abbot of Shrewsbury indeed never appears seized in demesne of Wollascott; but some of the Abbots feoffments were so very early and absolute that the Feofees, when they at length appear, are found in all but complete independence. Eyton supposes that the family of Le Poer were originally the Abbot's tenants there.
By 1259 we have a William de Wollascott whose name appears in a number of documents; he was still living in 1293 but by 1320 Roger de Wollascot, who attested a deed, represented this family. Eyton: Antiquities of Shropshire, Vol. 10, p. 110
A Patent Roll of 22 February 1441 mentions a William Wollascot of Weston who obviously knew Ralph Lee "Whereas by an inquisition taken virtute officii before Ralph Lee, late escheator in the county of Salop, it was found that John Hordeley, late of Shrewsbury, was seised of the manor of Hordelay and granted the same to William Walford and Thomas More, chaplains, and their heirs and assigns for over, by collusion between John Hampton, late abbot of the church of St. Peter, Shrewsbury, and the said William and Thomas, for the use of the said abbot and church, contrary to the statute of mortmain of Richard II; and afterwards at the suit of Richard, son of Richard Lakyn, knight, John Sainford, William Wollascot of Weston, John Walker, John Shanbery, clerk, and Thomas Walker the younger, complaining that whereas Matthew Hordeley was seised of the said manor and granted the same to John Howell, vicar of the church of Grysford, and John Houghton of Elesmere, chaplain, and their heirs and assigns for ever, and they were seised thereof until they died without heir; after whoso death the manor descended to Joan Fenymer, wife of William Fenymer, as kinswoman and heir of the said John Houghton, being daughter of Mabel, his sister, and William and Joan were seised and enfeoffed thereof the said Richard, son of Richard Lakyn, John Samford, William Wollascot, John Walker, John Shanbery and Thomas Walker,and their heirs and assigns for ever, and they were seised thereof, until by colour of the said inquisition and letters patent to Thomas Walker dated 10 February in the sixteenth year touching the keeping of the manor they were unjustly expelled, although the said John Hordeley had not granted the same to William Walford and Thomas More, as is supposed by the inquisition, nor ever had any title therein ; and beseeching the king to annul the said letters patent and to restore the petitioners to the manor:-
the king on 24 May in the sixteenth year commanded the sheriff of the county to cause Thomas Walker to appear before the king in Chancery in the quinzaine of Trinity following to show why the said letters patent should not be annulled and the petitioners restored, and the sheriff summoned the said Thomas by Richard Maffen and Roger Nonelay, and he appeared and said that the grant to William Walford and Thomas More had been made by collusion between them and the said abbot, as did also the said petitioners, by colour whereof the said record was delivered by the hands of John, bishop of Bath and Wells, the chancellor, to the justices of the Bench to try the issue and a writ was directed to the sheriff of Salop to cause to come before the king in the quinzaine of Martinmas in the eighteenth year twenty-four knights and legal men of the vicinage of Hordeley who had no knowledge of the petitioners and Thomas Walker, and there came the said Richard, son of Richard, John Samford, William Wallascot, John Walker, John Shanbury and Thomas Walker the younger by William Broun, his attorney, and Thomas Walker, but none of the twenty-four, wherefore the sheriff was directed to distrain on their goods and bring them before the king within fifteen days from Hilary following, on which day the petitioners and Thomas Walker appeared, but on the fourth day the latter came not, wherefore the case went against him by default, and the sheriff was commanded to distrain on the goods of the jurors and bring them before the king within fifteen days after Easter following to hold the assizes in the county, assigning Monday in St. Peter's Chair at Shrewsbury, the same day being given to the petitioners; and afterwards before William Westbury and John Hody, justices of assize in the county, the petitioners came (Thomas Parkhous appearing as the attorney of Thomas Walker the younger), and the jury said that John Hordeley never had the manor nor granted it to the petitioners and that the manor was worth 5 marks yearly; and now the petitioners have shewn that through their suit they have been reduced to poverty and that the jury was taken illegally through the default of the said Thomas Walker, and yet they cannot institute a new suit, because a decision valid in law cannot be revoked:-
the king grants to them and their heirs the restitution of the manor as fully as they had the same before their expulsion.
By p.s. and dated as above." Patent Rolls 19 Henry VI. Part 2. pp. 517-8.2,3

OBITUARY.
Died on Lake Huron, on the 8th inst, Mr Charles B. Wilkins, aged 25 son of Charles Wilkins, Esq. and a member of the firm of Charles Wilkins & Co. of this city. Young Mr W left Boston on the 22d of January last, on a voyage to Cuba, for the benefit of his health. From Cuba he journeyed to the residence of a friend in Milwaukie, Wis. The seeds of consumption, sown before his departure from Boston, were rapidly doing their work - though it was thought he might reach his home, to die in the midst of his family and friends. But it was ordered otherwise. On board a steamer, on his approach to Buffalo, he breathed his last. He was a young gentleman of excellent character, and mild and amiable manners esteemed and beloved by all who knew him.
His remains were received in this city on Thursday last, and on that afternoon, after the usual funeral solemnities at his father's house in Boylston street, were conveyed to the Cemetery at Mount Auburn. The Boston Daily Atlas, 16 June 1849.2
