Nicholas WILBORE

Notes:

Name:
"Wildbores in America": Nicholas Wilbore, woolen draper, bron, we will say, about 1504, died in 1583. He married Ann?

His will was made 27 Nov. 1582 and proved in Braintree 16 Sept. 1583.

Nicholas Wilbore was originally of Colchester, but in 1548 we find him in Braintree, when he sold Le stone house to John Jr., and Alice Wilbore of Colchester. he was very well to do with much real estate and other property in Braintree, Stisted, and Bocking. He evidently hired much help in the woolen business and also owned a large hill in Braintree which was used by him as pasturage for his sheep, called Skitts hill. I think that we can place Nicholas in the class with the Paycock family, a well-known family of woolen merchants of the sixteenth century, whose house is still in existence in Coggeshalle, co. Essex.

According to Nicholas' will he owned the following real estate: In Braintree, Cherkson and Gaunte. Tenemet called Wolnes in Stisted, land he bought of Robert Polye called by the name of Cops Wood, Blumster, Hamstall, his house called the checker with tenements, a field called Bartletts, The Slade, a meadow called Wheland farm in Stisted, a grove called Hollis Grove and a coppiehold shop in the market place of Braintree with two rooms over same, and a hill called Skitts Hill.
