“The word " Wakeman " is defined in Worcester's dictionary as "the title of the chief magistrate of the town of Ripon, Yorkshire, England." It seems to have meant "wide awake man." At one time it was pronounced as if to rhyme with Parkman, or rather with what the latter would be—Pa'kman—if the "r" was silent; but by about 1650 the pronunciation had changed to " Wackman." At Ripon the title descended from father to son and gave rise to the surname of Wakeman.” Source: Wakeman Genealogy (1900) [1] p. 6 | ||||||||||||||||||||

04. John Wakeman, [1] son of Roger and Joan was born bef. 1527 in Drayton, Worcestershire, England. He married Joan Spencer Beauchamp and died in Bewdley, Ribbesford, Worcestershire, England. "John Wakeman of Drayton, second son named in the will of Roger, was living, obviously on his father's property, in Chaddesley, for years before his father's death, and had doubtless been left in charge of the old home when the rest of the bishop's family went to Gloucestershire. By his father's will he was to have the Drayton estate as his own property for forty years after the death or marriage of the widow, but meanwhile he would be under the necessity of paying regular rent to his eldest brother William. The situation was not satisfactory, and soon after 1557 he removed with his family from the parish. The names of his children identify him perfectly. He was a son of Roger and nephew of Richard (of Beckford), and had a sister Anne; and the parish record of Chaddesley states that on August 9, 1545, he married Joan , and that his children were baptized as follows: Roger, September 12, 1546; Anne, March 7, 1548-9; John, May 10, 1552 (buried May 20, 1554); John February 20, 1554-5; Richard, January 1, 1556-7 (buried February 15, 1556-7) No trace of any of the five survivors is found later in the well-kept parish register of Chaddesley, except that it bears evidence to the subsequent return of the younger John, no doubt after the beginning of the term of forty years during which John of Drayton was to possess the ancestral estate. The nature of the evidence relating to the return of the younger John cannot be indicated clearly without due mention of other Wakemans then in the parish."

05. Francis Wakeman, [1] son of John and Joan was born on October 6, 1565 in Ribbesford, Worcestershire, England. On October 6, 1589 he married Anne Goode (1568-1621). Anne died in 1621. Frances died on September 2, 1626 in Ribbesford, Worcestershire, England. "Francis appears next in Chaddesley, where his son John was buried in May, 1595. Why he should retire to Chaddesley, far from his wife's connections, unless because it was his own family's home, is inconceivable. His next son also was named John, and his persistence in naming his sons John accords well with the other facts which indicate that that was his father's name. In 1596 he reappears at Bewdley, on the occasion of another baptism, and at this time, and uniformly until his death in 1626, he is noted as " the cooper." In his will he left a legacy to his brother John, of whom no other trace appears on the records at Bewdley. One simple explanation fits all the known facts: Francis was son of John and Joan, of Drayton, and brother of the younger John, of Drayton; the elder John being son of Roger and brother of William, who were successively recognized as the heads of the Wakeman family."
