Excerpt from book: FOURTH GENERATION. 15 John4 (?Jo/in John,1 Roger), born about 1510. His father’s name is not known, but the reasons for the line of descent proposed will be found on page 30, and need not be repeated here. As all the knowledge we have of him is derived from the Wills of his two brothers, Reinold and Thomas, there is nothing to show when he died, except that he certainly survived Reinold, and apparently was living in October, 1561, when Thomas made his Will. He was evidently older than Thomas, but may have been younger than Reinold. I have no doubt that he was the John of Ramsey, taxed there in 1540, on his movables 2s., 6d. That he married (?

We therefore conclude that the cousin of Barbara and the brother and sister named in John’s (36) Will were the children of John (15), and these we assign him. The order of birth is unknown; ifwe are correct in believing Elizabeth to be a daughter, which seems to be implied in the Will cited, she was very likely the eldest child, and not improbably there were other children, whose names have not been found. 35 i.
