According to the Maryland State Archives publication "A Biographical Dictionary of the Maryland Legislature, 1635-1789", Simon Wilmer immigrated from London ca. 1678, to manage "Resurrection Manor" in Calvert County, Maryland for Richard Perry. He was a merchant of London, 1670s; grocer; factor for John Holland of London, grocer, 1668; attorney; planter. He returned to England, but resettled permanently in Maryland by 1679. He married in 1681,Rebecca (?-1725), daughter of Dr. Richard Tilghman and wife Mary Foxley. His son, Simon, married (1) Dorcas Hynson, daughter of Charles Hynson and wife Margaret. He married (2), by 1735, Jane ?.
I hope this helps.
