James Matthew of Yarmouth, Mass.

A recent posting identified the mother of James Matthew of Yarmouth,
Massachusetts as Joan Mathew of St. Dunstan in the East, London, died
1653, based on the Calendar of State Papers Relating to Ireland.

I have looked at the wills of both of James' parents, proved in the
PCC.
Joan's will was written and proved 1653.
As often happens, she said nothing about where her son was living,
only saying that he should be paid in 4 years.

James' father was Thomas Matthew, citizen and skinner,
whose will was written and proved in 1638.
He made a bequest to son James "if living",
another example of how often wills fail to mention where relatives
are living.

I looked at the will of Elizabeth Evelyn, but she says nothing about
Luke Fawne.

I had no luck finding the Wiseman will ancestral to Thomas Bayes of
Dedham, Mass.

I recently chanced across a few other wills.
One mentions the emigration of Edmund Munnings to New England,
a few weeks before the family set out on the ship Abigail.

I also found the will of Sarah Howes of London, which mentions
her daughter Sarah Tredwell. The will fails to state that daughter
Sarah was then in Ipswich, Mass (see NGSQ 68 (1980), 117).

Darnnit, but thanks for checking, Leslie.

Will you be able to get notes or articles out of these?

Is the new TAG out yet??

Just on the off chance this might be helpful.

The Company of Skinners had associations with St Gabriel Fenchurch - and
there's an online list of residents in 1638.

I've found one or two names mentioned in skinner wills.

------------ Perhaps one day, some modern will indexes will
be published for the county of Norfolk.

While looking in the parish register of Wymondham, Norfolk,
I noticed the surnames Bayes & Wiseman.

---------------- The Munnings notice will be in the next Great
Migration volume.

Supposedly the new TAG is out soon.

I should have mentioned that I looked at a transcript of the
will of Christopher Barrett of Norwich.

He leaves out any mention of his daughter Huntington,
who was then in New England.
Good thing that those family letters survive.
