Biography

John was born in 1536. John Gilpin ... He passed away in 1591.^[1]

John Gilpin, d. 1591. M. circa 1571, Thomazen Everard, daughter of John Everard of Gillingham, Norfolk, Gentleman, by his wife Dorothy Chancye and sister of Sir Edward Everard, of Gillingham. The will of John Gilpin, of Gillingham, Norfolk and of St. Andrew Holborn, Gentleman, dated March 1, 1586, pr. May 10, 1591 (35 Sauberbe) mentions wife Thomazen, and my six small children and hers (names not given). The Gilpin Chart, however, mentions their names as Everard, John, Christian, Grace, Ursula and Theophila. Referring to the children of Thomas Gilpin of Mill Hill, parish of Caton, it will be observed that he named sons: George, Francis, Everard, John and Darias. If he was the son of George, it is quite probable he would name his eldest son George, which was the case. On the other hand, if he was the son of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin, he might name sons John and Everard, which was the case. It is quite probable that Thomas of Mill Hill was a posthumous child of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin, as John, in his will 1586, states his six children were young. Perhaps Thomas was brought up by his uncle George from childhood, which might account for his naming his eldest son George. It is significant that he had sons John and Everard. Everard Gilpin, Gentleman, son of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin. M. Sarah Quercy, daughter and heiress of Quercy of Boxcott, Suffolk; John Gilpin who married Martha Bray, daughter of John Bray of Surrey, was possibly a son; his widow Martha, married 2nd, Bernard Burton, Esq., one of the Privy Chamber of King James (Visitations of Surrey) Admitted pensioner at Emmanuel, June 1, 1588, matriculated 1588. (Alumni Cantabrigienses, Vol. 2, p. 218.) John Gilpin, Gentleman, son of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin. According to the Fleming MSS. he died at Scanderoon, s. p. Christian Gilpin, daughter of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin, M. Elias Foxton, of Cambridgeshire, Gentleman, of Gray's Inn, son of William Foxton, Esquire, Alderman. (Visitations of Cambridge.) Grace Gilpin, daughter of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin, died single. Ursula Gilpin, daughter of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin, died single. Theophila Gilpin, daughter of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin. M. circa 1610, Francis Gilpin, bapt. March 25, 1585, died 1637, son of Eichard and Elinor (Layton) Gilpin of Aldingham, Lancashire. (Visitations of Suffolk.) The will of Francis Gilpin of Wanstead, Essex, Gentleman, dated November 4, 1636, pr. June 19, 1637 (P. C. C. 98, Goare) mentions wife, Theophila, and a daughter Sarah. Issue: Sarah. Thomas Gilpin, of Mill Hill, parish of Caton, Lancashire, perhaps son of John and Thomazen (Everard) Gilpin, b. circa 1586, d. 1628. M. February 11, 1608, at parish church of Caton, Dorothy Gibson, bapt. September 14, 1586, at Caton, Lancashire, daughter of Eobert and Dorothy Gibson, of Mill Hill. Concerning Thomas Gilpin of Mill Hill, parish of Caton, Lancashire, we have but little knowledge; the account from "Piety Promoted" states that he and his wife were Puritans, and people of good repute. His will, which follows, shows that his widow Dorothy, was executrix and that William Foxe was her bondsman. The latter also appears as the principal creditor of Thomas Gilpin. Dorothy Gilpin mentions her son Everard Gilpin, as living in London, and leaves a special sum for her overseers to use in placing Thomas in some "fitt calling " to earn his livelihood, and a similar provision for her daughter Jane; we know that Thomas was a Tallow Chandler.
