| In Familiae Minorum Gentium, John is described as being a Gentleman of Monk Bretton (this is in the parish of Royston). According to this source, he was bequeathed 1,000 pounds by Martha Adams (but according to Bedford it was only 100 pounds). I suspect that this must have been her aunt Martha, the sister of John's father Josias.
Unfortunately, this will is not at the Borthwick Institute, but it may be in Wakefield Deeds Registry.
John's second marriage was by license dated 19th January 1710 to Frances Swallow. According to the license the actual marriage may have taken place in either Royston or Normanton, .

| Thomas was equeathed £100 in the will of Martha Adams, thought to be the married sister of his father Josias.
He lived at New Laithes, Carlton (or Royston?).
He was still living in 1703, but was deceased by the time that his brother John made his will in 1721
Not sure who this referred to, probably William . . .
Wednesday 5th January 1725,
At Barnsley, in company with Mr. Wordsworth, of Newlaths, who shewed us a bullet beat flat as a half-crown by hitting against the wall, shot at his servant in the malt-house, by some persons which were supposed to have a design to robb the house. It had gone through his hat behind. |
