[Rev.] John Wilson was born at Windsor, Berkshire, England, about 1588.[1] [2]
[Rev.] John Wilson, son of [Rev.] William Wilson, D.D. and his wife Isabel Woodhall, married, in England about 1617, Elizabeth Mansfield, daughter of John Mansfield, Esq., of London, Henley-Thames, Oxfordshire, and Hutton-on-Derwent, Yorkshire and Elizabeth his wife. [3]
"They had two sons, [Dr.] Edmund and [Rev.] John, and two daughters, Elizabeth, , and Mary ". [3]
John immigrated to Massachusetts in 1630 and and was appointed pastor of the First Church of Boston. [3] Elizabeth's refusal to leave England was the subject of several letters by Margaret Winthrop. [4] John went back to England, and persuaded Elizabeth to return with him to Boston in 1632. [4] Their son Edmund remained in England, but their son John and daughter Elizabeth went to Boston with them. Their daughter Mary was born at Boston 12 September 1633. [4]
In 1636 controversy broke out in among his congregation regarding the teachings of Anne Hutchinson. In May of 1637, John "volunteered to be the minister of a military unit that went to Connecticut to settle the conflict with the Pequot Indians." He returned to Boston, and to the controversy with Hutchinson, on August 5th. [5]
In Nov. 1637 she was brought before a civil court for her religious teachings, and in 1638, brought to trial before the church, and excommunicated by Wilson. [6]
John Wilson was one of the ministers who assented to the hanging of Quaker misisonaries for their religious beliefs. He participated in the deaths of Marmaduke Stevenson and William Robinson in 1659, and later Mary Dyer in 1660. [7]
Elizabeth, his wife, died at Boston, about 1658. [3]
"[Rev.] John Wilson died testate at Boston 7 August 1667, age seventy-eight and a half years.' [3]
Elizabeth Wilson was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Isabel Mansfield, she was baptized 3 December 1592 at Henley-on-Thames, Oxford. She married the Rev. John Wilson about 1617, She died about 1658. She did not accompany her husband to Massachusetts Bay in 1630, and her unwillingness to come to New England was the subject of several letters from Margaret Winthrop to her son John in May 1631; she first reported that "Mr. Wilson is now in London and promised me to come and see you. He cannot yet persuade his wife to go, for all he hath taken this pains to come and fetch her. I marvel what mettle she is made on. Sure she will yield at last, or else we shall want him exceedingly in New England." In her second letter she noted that WILLIAM CODDINGTON "is gone to Sudbury to Mr. Wilson," and in her third letter that "if he go it must be without his wife's consent, for she is more averse than ever she was." John Wilson's wife did return with him in 1632, however, for they had a child born and baptized in Boston in 1633. When John Wilson made a second trip to England in 1634, she was "at first very much affected with her husband's departure, but she is now well pacified" They had four children: Edmund, John, Elizabeth Rogers, and Mary Danforth Rock. Elizabeth Wilson was sister of JOHN MANSFIELD {1635, Boston} & of Anne Keayne, wife of ROBERT KEAYNE {1635, Boston}. Her husband was uncle of EDWARD RAWSON {1637, Newbury} & of Dorothy Whitfield, wife of Henry WHITFIELD , and related in some way to Simon BIRD . Source: Anderson's Winthrop Fleet.
