From:  ESSEX WORTHIES - Page:199

WESTERN

The Westerns of Rivenhall were a family of London merchants who settled in Essex in the last quarter of the 17th century. In 1692 Thomas Western (d.1707) bought Rivenhall Place from the executors of Sir William Wiseman. It remained the principal seat of the family until 1795, when Felix Hall took its place.

I have some Wiseman data I copied from a Wiseman file folder in the Gen. Soc. in London several years ago. I just pulled it to see if I could find these people. Her is some what I have...from a hand written chart. Not real easy to follow and because it was so big, I had to copy in sections... and I don't think I got it all! I have just spent some time trying to match up the sheets. Here is some of what I can make of it.

There was a Sir William Wiseman crated a Bart. 1628, died At Oxford in 1643 in the service of Charles I.  He married Elizabeth daughter of Sir Henry capel, will dated 28, April 1659, proved 28, Nov 1660, was of (nor sure of the spelling... looks like MUCH or Inuch?) Canfield, Essex

   (4). Sir Charles died 1751

   (5). John  m. Penelope..... His widow proved his will Oct 1731 (I can't tell if there is a Sir in front of    John as that is where the name started.. at the edge of the paper... sorry!

and 6 daughters...

2. Sir Edmund Wiseman died 1704 m. Eliz. daughter of Daniel Waldo

3. Capel, Bishop of ?spelling again, Oromore??? Dromore??? in 1683.
