William Simons was born about 1669 and became a farmer and landowner in Elmstead, serving the parish many times as churchwarden, overseer of the poor and parish constable.

One of his sons, Hugh Simons, was also a farmer of Elmstead serving the parish like his father. He married Martha Burton at nearby Great Bromley in 1722.

Hugh's eldest son William married Susanna Wilson at Gt. Bromley but then left the Elmstead district to become a farmer at Hatfield Peveril.

William died before 1772 and his wife remarried another farmer, William Speakman of Terling. William Simon's daughter, Ann Martha, married William Speakman's nephew, Francis Speakman at Writtle in 1778.
