Nicholas WILBUR [Parents] was born ¹ about 1504 in Colchester, Essex, England, United Kingdom. He died ² in 1583 in Braintree, Essex, England, United Kingdom. Nicholas married Ann about 1525 in Braintree, Essex, England, United Kingdom.

Nicholas had a will ³ on 27 Nov 1582 in Braintree, Essex, England, United Kingdom. His will was probated ⁴ on 16 Sep 1583 in Braintree, Essex, England, United Kingdom.

3. NICHOLAS2 WILBORE ( ? Thomas 1), woolen draper, born, we will say, about 1504, died in 1583. He married ANN His will was made 27 Nov. 1582 and proved in Braintree 16
Sept. 1583 (see will No. 4).

Nicholas2 Wilbore was originally of Colchester, but in 1548 we find him in Braintree, when he sold Le stone house to John2 Jr., and Alice Wilbore of Colchester. He was very well to do with much real estate and other property in Braintree, Stisted, and Bocking. He evidently hired much help in the woolen business and also owned a large hill in Braintree which was used by him as pasturage for his sheep, called Skitts Hill. I think that we can place Nicholas in the class with the Pay-cock family, a well-known family of woolen merchants of the sixteenth century, whose house is still in existence in Coggeshalle, co. Essex.

According to Nicholas  will he owned the following real estate: In Braintree, Cherkson and the Gaunte. Tenement called Wolnes in Stisted, land he bought of Robert Polye called by the name of Cops Wood, Blumster, Hamstall, his house called the checker with tenements, a field called Bartletts, The Slade, a meadow called Wheland farm in Stisted, a grove called Hollis Grove and a coppiehold shop in the market place of Braintree with two rooms over same, and a hill called Skitts Hill.
