You probably can't infer anything useful from the use of the term 'Mr' in 1711. By that time, the term was being used for anyone who had status, especially in towns. It doesn't imply anything at all about the social status of the man's father or grandfather or other relatives.

The term 'Esq.' remains a useful social pointer at this time, losing that value in the nineteenth century.
