Biography

Mary, the wife of James Genn, was probably Mary Hawkins. In 1688 a Mary Hawkins sued James Genn and had him arrested. The suit seems to have been a paternity suit, probably settled by their marriage. The 1703 will of Thomas Matthew mentioned James Genn and his wife Mary.

Mary probably died after 6 May 1703, when she was named in the will of Thomas Matthew. She might have died before 20 April 1707; she was not named as executrix of her husband's estate. However, she is widely reported to have been the wife of John Miller, whom she would have married as a widow.

"On 20 April 1709, a probate of the will of James Genn was granted to Thomas Genn and James Genn. A courthouse fire in 1710 destroyed wills and deeds between 1672 and 1710. Because of this his will was destroyed. It was not rerecorded at a later date by a member of his family. As there are no other Genns in the county records, we will assume that Thomas Genn and James Genn are his sons."
