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 (?
Margaret ) and had issue is evident from the Wills of his brothers,
but these do not give us their names. These are obtained from the
Will of John (36), the first son assigned him below. In that Will
the maker speaks of his "cousin Barbara:" Reinold, the brother of
John (15), had a daughter Barbara Marvin, who of course would have
been own cousin to the children of her father's brothers; it is
clear from the Will of Thomas (17), one of these brothers, that he
had but one son, Matthew, and as the only other brother of Reinold
was John, so far as known, the conjectural assignment seems
justified. 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. Elizabeth,' b. about 1532 ;
