   ASSOCIATIONS: On 19 April 1638 Edward Wilson made a will in which he bequeathed to "my brother Thomas Wilson" and to "my brother Will[iam] Wilson," "but if my brother Will[iam] Wilson do not come over to New England then my brother Thomas is to have all" [NEHGR 7:30]. On 4 September 1638 the inventory of Edward Wilson, totalling £48 2s., was brought to court by Thomas Wilson, executor, and was received de bene esse [MBCR 1:235]. Since Thomas Wilson of Roxbury is the only man of that name known to be in New England as early as 1638, he is presumably brother of this Edward.
   On 24 October 1638 William Wilson of Boston, planter, and Patience his wife sold to John Tinker of Boston his land in Dunnington, Lincolnshire, and so that he and his wife "be not compelled to travel out of the jurisdiction of Massachusetts," they made a power of attorney to "Richard Tunnard, and Thomas Wilson, brother of the said William" [Lechford 19-24]. Pope assumed that these were the same Thomas and William named in the will of Edward above, but this cannot be. William Wilson and Patience his wife were in Boston by 1635, and yet just a few months before this couple drew up the instrument of sale to John Tinker, Edward Wilson was saying that his brother William had not yet come to New England. Also, by appointing him attorney for a sale to take place in Lincolnshire, William of Boston implied that his brother Thomas was still in England in 1638, when Thomas of Roxbury was in New England. These two records must represent two different Wilson families.
   COMMENTS: On 4 December 1638 Thomas Wilson was fined £10 for taking above double toll and, being presented for standing above six months excommunicate, he was enjoined to appear at the next court, where he was again continued to the next court 19-24].
