"8. SIMON(B) ELIOT (Thomas(C), William(D)) was born say 1520. He died before 9 April 1562, when his widow Jane was granted rights to property for the term of her life by the court of the Manor of Much Hadham. He married first KATHERINE HAYNES, daughter of John Haynes of Much Hadham. He married second JANE . In his 1572 will, Bennet Averell of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, made a bequest of 20s. to godson Bennet Aylet. If this Bennet Aylet was Simon Eliot 's son, Bennet Eliot, it raises the possibility that either Simon or Jane ( ) Eliot was related to the family of Bennet Averell, which has been summarized elsewhere. Bennet Averell's granddaughter, Elizabeth Sibthorpe, married Philip1 Eliot (BennetA). Following Simon's death, Jane ( ) Eliot married second by 3 May 1580, John Adams. Quite possibly she was the ux Adams who appeared as a witness to the baptism of Martha Sibthorpe, sister of Elizabeth (Sibthorpe) Eliot, at Thorley, Hertfordshire, on 15 July 1593. The 1597 will of John Mills, witnessed by Bennet Eliot, named John Adam to be an overseer; presumably he was either Bennet Eliot 's stepfather or a stepbrother. Child of Simon and Jane ( ) Eliot: 12 i. BENNET ELIOT, m. LETTICE ALGER.
