427 John was a draper, born in the Parish of Whitchurch, Shropshire County, England ca. 1580 and was buried 10 Jan 1665/66. His wife was Margaret, daughter of Thomas NEVETT and wife Ann TAYLOR, daughter of William TAYLOR. Margaret was buried 1 Jan 1656/7. John's will was proven 14 Mar. 1665/66, naming daughters Aurelia, Sarah, Susanna, Elizabeth and sons John, Thomas, Joshua and Samuel, if he be living, if deceased to his children, 10 pounds. This indicates that John knew Samuel was married and had a family, but lived at such a distance that he was not aware that Samuel had recently predeceased him.
