Notes for Bonnie Boileau
[Lart, II, 13]
[BBB]: “Bonne wasted no time; she and Lestock Wilson, the Chief Officer of the East Indiaman they came out in, fell in love on the voyage, and the wedding took place in Madras as soon as they arrived. Wilson left the sea in 1794 and became an agent for the Company in England, amassing a large fortune. The diarist, Farrington, often mentions the Wilsons and their wealth. It is thus that the name Lestock originated as one of the Boileau family Christian names.”
In Jan 2010 Jenny Currell sent me a photograph of a small painting of “Bonne Wilson”. She wrote:
"Several years ago, I bought a portrait miniature in watercolour of Bonne Wilson (nee Boileau) ... My painting may have been a sample for a larger one. On the back of my painting is written (in old hand)

Notes for Lestock (Spouse 1)
[Lart, II, 13].
Lestock was a well-known captain. For instance, the biography of Beaufort (Beaufort of the Admiralty, by Alfred Friendly. Random House, New York, 1977) contains a lot of Lestock information, as does [BBB]. He was the captain of the ship that took Bonnie to India, and they married soon after.
