Biography

Origin

William Wiseman, son of Symond (Simon) Wiseman and Margaret Bokingham.^[1]

George Wiseman, who married a Garnish, and had issue, John, who married Anne, daughter to Wyndham, and had issue, Simon, father of William. It's observable, that all these matches of the male line are with Suffolk houses, insomuch, that it's not much doubted, that a race of them might transplant themselves out of Northamptonshire, and thence with an easy remove, settle in Essex. For another son of the last John, I take to be that John Wiseman, who Hourished temp. Edw. IV. and purchased the capital messuage of Billocks, in the parish of North End, in Essex, and lest two sons, John, (ancestor to the Wisemans of Rivenhall, in Essex; whose descendant, Sir William Wiseman, of Rivenhall, was created a Baronet, June 15. 1660. and dying 1692. left only one daughter' and heir, Elizabeth, first married to John le Mott Honywood, of ______, in Essex, Esq; and afterwards to Sir Isaac Rebow, of Colchester, Knt. whereupon that title became extinct.) ...^[2]
