Margaret More married John Wilson, son of Christopher Wilson and Ellen Unknown (Wilson). Margaret More was born before 1500 at More Hall, Yorkshire. John More died at Moor Hall in 17 Hen VII as owner was the last of the family, his widow held it in dower after his decease as I find she did to the Hen VIII, but when she died I cannot find nor that he had any issue except one daughter Margaret who in 1 Hen VIII married John Wilson, son of Chris. Wilson of Bromhead and were both alive 26 Hen VIII The said John Wilson had several sons by her we we may suppose that it came to him after the decease of her mother but was some way or other alienated so that it abode not long in his family. Moor Hall is in the township of Bolsterstone in the parish of Bradfield. [Ronksley citing Mr Wilson's documents, Ronksley Collection #1639].
