Biography

George Anketill, son of Francis Anketill (and possibly also of Jane Smith).

According to father Francis Antekill's Last Will & Testament, son George was younger than 18 years of age in 1673, and younger than elder brother Francis who was also younger than 18 years in 1673. Thus, George was born after 1655, perhaps about 1657. There is no other record of him. ^{[1] [2]}
