SPILMAN FAMILY ABROAD

Spilman Family Tree

The earliest ancestor we are able to identify was Thomas Spilman from Harlow, Essex England.  He would have lived in this area in the late 1500's.  According to "Spilman of Alkborough" in the "Visitation of Lincolnshire 1666" by Everard Green, published in 1917, the father of John of Harlow is named as Thomas Spilman of Harlow.  Tom Smith and Eric Spilman have both done research back to this time period.  His son, John, was born about 1600 in Manuden, Harlow, Essex, England.  Harlow is about 25 miles NW of London.

On Eric Spilman's web page he notes that John Spilman of Harlow was married in May 1615 Martha Hills of Clavering, at St Mary and St Clement's Church, Clavering, Essex.  Martha Hills, the daughter of Nicholas and Margaret Hills, was baptized in St Botolph's Church, Colchester, in 1602.  Eric notes that Martha would have only been 13 years old at the time of her marriage.   

John and Martha Spilman's sons, Thomas and Edward both came to North Lincolnshire in 1660.  According to Tom Smith's web page,
"Captain Thomas Spilman, a former roundhead, had served in Lambert's Regiment of Horse and for his part in suppressing a rising in Cheshire in 1659 was voted a gift of 100 pounds by Parliament. He came to north Lincolnshire in 1660 from Harlow in Essex and with his brother Edward leased the Walcot estate at Alkborough for 15 years. Thomas Spilman also farmed at Winteringham."
