Eliza WIGHTMAN d.ca.1723

Biographical Note

Eliza was married to Joseph Wightman, who died in 1722, after which she was granted administration of his estate. She seems to have died shortly after her husband, as by the following year the couples' possessions are offered at auction posthumously.

Books

Advertisements in the Daily Post describe the 'Household Goods of Mrs. Wightman, deceas'd. Widow of the late General Wightman' as including 'Book-Cases and Books' alongside carpets, pictures, very fine old China, furniture, and 'a large Tent lined with Callicoe'. The items were to be sold from her dwelling-house in Great Marlborough-street, St James's on 26 April 1723.
