According to Threlfall’s GMC50335, Thomas Wymant “was born about 1565-70, probably at Barkway, Hertfordshire. There on 8 November 1593, he married Joan Cressal, i.e. Chrishall. Her surname is derived from the parish of Chrishall in Essex just five miles to the northeast of Barkway. He may be the Thomas Wymant, widower, who married 13 March 1632 at Saint Albans, Jane Thorington (or Thornton), a widow of Saint Peter’s parish. He left no will.

“Thomas was probably the son of an earlier Thomas Wymant of Barkway wo married there 17 September 1562, Ellen Brand. This senior Thomas and Ellen (Brand) Wymant were parents of a son William who had a daughter, Ann, baptized in 1599. The senior Thomas was in turn probably the son of a still earlier Thomas Wymant, born about 1515, and probably the father of Henry, baptized 4 March 1542/3 at Barkway, of Richard who had a daughter, Katherine, of Ciceley, who married 30 November 1559 Robert Gue of Ardeley, and of Thomas as deduced. Thus, there were apparently three generations of Thomases.”
