Christopher WILSON lived at Greysouthen in the parish of Brigham in Cumberland. In 1667 he married Jane ALLASON (aged about 30, of Whinfell Hall) at Richard Faucett's house, Hall Bank, Eaglesfield - they were probably Quakers.

THey had 5 children:

Christopher died in 1692 but Jane survived him until 1725. By that time the youngest daughter Elizabeth had also died, in her late 20s. Ann lived until 1755. For John see below.
