• John Wood John Geady Hen: Worsfold

Probate in Latin to Anne Lintott widow on the ?? day of September 1710

Notes:

1. This is possibly William the son of Robert Lintott & Joane Smith his wife, if so he must have re-married after the death of his first wife Clemence.

2. None of his five children survived him, three of them dying as children and the only two to survive into adulthood, Mary and Ann, died as single women by the age of thirty, thus he had no descendants to name in his Will.

3. I believe he married twice after the death of Clemence, first to Mary Penfould in 1673, but she died childless in February 1675/76, then finally to Anne, who survived him.

4. We have Anne’s Will on file and it would seem her maiden name was either Shaw or Gasson, it may also be possible that her maiden name was Shaw and she was the widow of a Gasson when she married William.
