Biography

John Awood was born about 1530 (estimated). The church registers begin in 1573/4, so there is no record of most of his children's baptisms and his marriage.

He married Alice (Unknown) probably about 1548. They had (dates and order are estimated guesses from this G2G comment, names are from John's 1571 will,[1] and Alice's 1588 will[2]):

  1. Elizabeth,[2] b. est. abt. 1549, m. ____ Marten, children by 1571
  2. Johan (ie. Joane),[2] b. est. abt. 1551, m. Henry Hulins, children by 1571
  3. Katherine,[2] b. est. 1553, likely m. William Harmer 1570/1
  4. John the elder,[1][2] b. est. abt. 1555, children by 1582
  5. John the younger,[1][2] children by 1599
  6. Ambross,[1][2] children by 1595
  7. James[1]
  8. Thomasone,[1][2] m. ____ Chapman by 1588
  9. Mary,[1][2] m. Francis Payne 1585
  10. Robart,[2] b. est. abt. 1573
  11. Symon,[2] bp. October 20, 1576 at King's Stanley,[3] bur. there November 28, 1597.[4]

John Awood wrote his will on April 20, 1571.[1] He mentions:

son: John the elder
son: John the younger
son: Ambross
son: James
daughter: Thomasone
daughter: Mary
wife's kinsman: John Nicholls
daughter's son: Edward Marten
daughter's son: John Hewling
wife Alis

It doesn't look like John names his married daughters in his will, one of which (Katherine) was recently married.

John Awood, yeoman, was buried at King's Stanley on September 26, 1577. [5] His will was entered into court on June 9, 1578.[1]

His wife Alice wrote her will in 1588, names their married daughters Elizabeth Martyns and Johan Hewllynges, and mentions additonally sons 'Symond', 'Robart', and daughter 'Katherine', but doesn't mention James.[2]

Notes

A "Johēs A Wood" appears in a 1537 document regarding land at King's Stanley.[6] He may have been the same "Johes a Wood" listed as a copyholder at "Stanley Regis" in 1554.[7]

The John A Wood mentioned there may have been in a previous generation to this profile's John Awood.
