Thomas Wilson Thomas Wilson was born in 1762 and lived in Egton in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England. He was christened at Egton - 21 November 1762. He married Elizabeth Oxley (born 23 August, 1733, Egton) on 2 June, 1752, at Glaisdale, NRY. She was the daughter of John Oxley (born 1706, Egton) and Mary Pearson (born abt 1703, NRY). As per the probation of his Will (see below, Thomas died in 1795, in Egton, NRY. Again noting his Will (farm, etc. at Holsike, Danby, purchased of Eusacy Cass & William Cass in poss of James Featherston), it seems he purchased a farm - likely Grange Farm, rented at the time by James Featherston, latter farmed by his son Francis. My line comes through Francis and his son Newark. I visited the locale in April 2012 and the owners graciously showed me through the house. The children of Thomas Wilson and Elizabeth Oxley.
