Nicholas VINCENT [Parents] was born ¹ about 1495 in Bildeston, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom. Nicholas married Agnes.

NICHOLAS VINCENT (Andrew) of Bildeston, Suffolk, England was probably born about 1494-7 in or near Bildeston, where he apparently spent his life and where he owned considerable property, being a substantial yeoman farmer of his day. In the 1524 Subsidy return, he was listed at Bildeston for a tax of 9 shillings on £6 worth of goods. On 13 November 1553, he made his will. Altho he did not state in the preamble of the will that he was sick, he probably was and anticipated death. He died shortly thereafter and the will was proved 12 March following. He is undoubtedly buried in the churchyard at Bildeston, as he requested in his will. He married Agnes, who survived him. His home was on Newbery Street in Bildeston.

Agnes ¹. Agnes married Nicholas VINCENT.

Andrew VINCENT died ¹ in 1522 in Bildeston, Suffolk, England, United Kingdom.

More on the Ancestry of Alice Blower, Wife of Richard Brackett of Braintree. Contributed by John B. Threlfall, Madison, Wisconsin.

In The American Genealogist (52 [19761. 65-75) it was shown that Nicholas Vincent of Bildeston, Suffolk, England, was the great-great-grandfather of Alice Blower, wife of Richard Brackett of Sudbury, England, and Braintree, Mass. The author recently discovered the following Prerogative Court of Canterbury will which was previously missed because of the erratic spelling of the name by the scribe. This was the will of the father of Nicholas, beyond all doubt, for toward the end of the will where Andrew names his son Nicholas to be one of the executors, the scribe more correctly spells the name Vynsent. Although the will names only one son and a son-in-law specifically, the other bequests suggest grandchildren by other daughters.
