Note-Shackelford | He Edward Willett was my 7th great-grandgather ----------------------------------------------------- Name: Edward WILLETT , Sr. Sex: M Birth: 7 OCT 1656 in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England Death: 11 FEB 1744/45 in Prince George's Co., MD Note: According to the 'Bishop's Transcripts, Parish Church of Cirencester,Church of England, FHL Film 417142', Edward Willett was not found in theChurch records of Cirencester because the records are missing from 1626to 1660. Edward was a Pewterer by trade. According to a genealogy (unknown author)listed on the 'Gelealogy Club' web-site, 'when Edward was about 14 hebegan studying the art of pewter making. A young lad, such as Edwarddesiring to become a pewterer would have to apprentice himself to amaster craftsman for a period of 7 years, sometime longer. The youngapprentice lived with his master and was subject to his (sic) discipline.(According to 'Presentation of Apprentices, Court Minutes, WorshipfulCompany of Pewterers, London, Guildhall Library, London, Manuscript MS7090 v.6' 'Daniel Mason presented Edward Willett, son of Edward Willettin the city of Sirensiter[Cirencester] in the County of Gloucester,clothier, seven years from midsummer next. Another entry indicated'Edward Willett, apprentice to Daniel Mason is committed to William Spillto serve....' 8 February 1675'. Continuing, 'Edward Willett, apprenticedto Daniel Mason and afterwards turned over to William Spill is by thiscourt turned over to William Burton to serve the remaining years of his___ ___ as an apprentice.' 20 March 1678. ). Upon completing hisapprenticeship (On September 22, 1681, 'Edward Willett gave fiveshillings into the poor box to be admitted as freeman this day contraryto a former order prohibiting any admission into freedom but on [ ] days.SWORN AND MADE FREE: Edward Willett, apprentice to Daniel Mason andturned over to William Spill and William Burton.') he was given thefreedom oath, had his touch struck, (sic) set up shop (On 6 October 1684,'Edward Willett asked leave to open [undecipherable but was probably hisrequest to open his own shop]' and had his name added to the yeomanrylist at the Hall of Worshipful Company of Pewterers of London. (Generalinformation from Cahats in Old Pewter by Masse, pg. 33-34). In 1681 atthe age of 23, Edward Willett received his mark and became a Pewterer. Hewas given leave to strike his touch in the Pewterer's Hall of London in1684/5 (Older Pewter by Cotterell, pp. 337). According to 'Received forOpenings, Master's Account, Audit Book, Worshipful Company of Pewterers,London, Michaelmas (29 Sep) 1684 to 23 July 1685, Guildhall Library,London, Manuscript MS 7086 v.4 (1663-1717) 'Edward Willett was grantedpermission to open his own shop for a fee of three pounds, four shillings. In 1681 at the age of 23, Edward Willett received his mark and became aPewterer. He was given leave to strike his touch in the Pewterer's Hallof London in 1684/5 (Older Pewter by Cotterell, pp. 337). It appearsEdward would also take on an apprentice, for on 20 July 1686 'Edwardpresented Thomas Pously, son of George Pously of [Agnoff?] in the Countyof [Troon?], groom, for seven years from this date'. Further, on 20February 1687, 'Thomas Pously, apprentice to Edward Willett is turnedover to Joseph King'. It was sometime after the above date that Edwardemigrated to the Colony of Maryland. 'The Coat-of-Arms was sometimes used as an inscription on the Pewterer'stouch. Towards the end of the 17th century the touches appeared with themakers' names. Edward Willett incorporated both practices in his touch. The Willett families in England had Coats-of-Arms so similar that (sic)it is certain they were originally of one family. On the top of eachWillett Coat-of-Arms is found a bird over a crown as Edward Willett hadstruck on his touch. The original will of Edward Willett of PrinceGeorge's Co., MD still in existence in the Hall of Records in Annapolis,carries his seal. This seal bears the imprint of a crown with a bird overit. Because of this seal, it is believed Edward Willett is an EnglishWillett descendant. The bird found on the top of the crest andCoat-of-Arms of the Willetts is said to be a Willet, a large lightcolored shore bird....'. In 'A Short History of Pewter by Elsie Englefield printed in London in1933 she states, 'only Pewterers' sons could follow the calling...'(pp.22). If this were true Edward Willett would have to be the son ofRichard Willett, A Pewterer who received his mark in London c. 1660.'.(Note: The author of this genealogy disagrees with the above assumption.Richard may have been a brother or cousin of Edwards father EdwardWillett). The following is a research note from Fred & Barbara Naef:Gloucestershire - an administrative County established in 1974 to replacethe former County of Gloucester, located in southwest central England.The county seat is the city of Gloucester, on the Severn River.Cirencester - an urban district within Gloucestershire, 14 miles SE ofGloucester. By 1692, Edward Willett is known to be living on the Patuxent River inthe Province of Maryland. How long he had been in Maryland prior to thisdate is not known. Laughlin ranks Edward Willett who studied in Londonamong the earliest of American Pewterrs in his book, 'The Pewters of theSouth'. Edward operated his shop in Upper Marlboro, Prince Georges Co.,MD from approximately 1692 to 1743, this according to 'CollectingAmerican Pewter' by Katherine Ebert. 1973. According to research by Judy & Kathleen Kirkland, 'Edward was a memberof St. Paul's Parish in Charlestowne, MD and became Clerk of Vestry,5/10/1692. Edward signed a message to the Crown (referring to the King ofEngland). He was a Civil Officer & Magistrate of Pr. Georges Co., MD.Additional research indicates he owned at least twelve properties in P.G.County'. According to the 'Genealogy Club', 'on 7/28/1698 Edward Willett purchasedfrom Col. Ninian Beall, his neighbor, a 43 acre tract of land called'Beall's Craft' which was on the west side of the western branch of thePatuxant River (Deed A:152). On 2/25/1700 he purchased a 100 acre tractcalled 'Horserace' which joined 'Beall's Craft' on the south (DeedA:437). On 4/18/1702 Edward Willett bought a tract of land called'Bealington' on the west side of the Patuxent River which included adwelling house, a barn, stables, yards, gardens and an orchard, as wellas an additional piece of property containing 100 acres called 'GoodLuck' (Deed A:437). Both pieces adjoined the property he alreadypossessed. On 8/12/1702 he purchased a tract of land called 'Little Doan'which contained a dwelling house, barns, stables an 103 acres of land(Deed C:9).'. This last transaction was also shown in Deed Book A, Folio9 found in the Upper Marlboro Court House, as a sale to Thomas James onAugust 12, 1702 of 103 acres on Beaver Dam Branch called 'Little Deane'formerly in Calver County, now in Prince George's County for 3000 poundsof good merchantable tobacco. [Author note: this appears to be the samepiece of land, so who do we believe?]. On 19 August 1702, Edward Willett,pewterer of Prince George's County and his wife Tabitha seem to have sold157 acres in Prince George's County called 'The Horserace' for 250pounds, and the balance (less 103 acres) of 'Little Deane' for 173Pounds, 10 Shillings. On the same date he received from the agent for theAllen Estate, an obligation for 346 Pounds. (Folio 11a, & 13). On January 8, 1705, Edward received a 'Royal Appointment', from PhilemonLoyd. To: Edward Willett, Gent. 'Sir Thomas Laurance, Baron, Secretary ofMaryland for Queen Ann, appointed Philemon Loyd Deputy Secretary at Largeof Maryland. Loyd now appoints Edward Willett to be Clerk and Keeper ofthe Records of Prince George's County Court.' (Folio 215) Note, this wasa position Edward would keep for many years. According to 'The Willett Family of Maryland' by Sister Mary LouiseDonnelly, 'on 9/10/1728 Edward Willett, Sr. gave to his son EdwardWillett, JR. 'in consideration of the natural affection & fatherly love'60 acres of 'Bealington' (Deed M:324).' On February 7, 1744/45 in Prince Georges County, MD, Edwards will wasproved.
