About Joan Marshe


Biography

1. JOHN MARSHE, parentage and ancestry unknown, a yeoman and brewer of Chipping Barnet, Hertfordshire, England, died between 2 Dec. 1558 and 15 Feb. 1559 at Chipping Barnet. It was probably circa 1530-35 in Chipping Barnet that John married his wife JOAN (NN), who appears to have been the mother of the son and four daughters of John who are listed in John's will. On 13 June 1553, "John Marshe senior and Joan his wife and John Marshe junior" of Chipping Barnet bought two messuages there with garden and orchard. John Marshe made his will on 2 Dec. 1558, and the will was proved 15 Feb. 1559 on the oath of "Johanne Rel[i]c[t]e et executrics" (Joan, widow and executrix).

After John's death, on 3 Nov. 1561 in Chipping Barnet, Joan Marshe married ROGER MARSHE, presumably a kinsman of her late husband John. Zubrinsky notes that Roger and Joan's grantor deed of lands at East Barnet on 28 Feb. 1562 describes Joan as the wife of Roger Marshe and executrix of the will of John Marshe of Chipping Barnet.

The known children of John and Joan Marshe were:

  • -- JOHN MARSHE JR., born after 1534 in Chipping Barnet, England, died between 8 June 1610 and 11 Feb. 1611 in Chipping Barnet, married Katherine Andrew.
  • 2. ROSE MARSHE, born circa 1538 in Chipping Barnet, Hertfordshire, England.
  • -- MARGARET MARSHE, married Edward Crawley.
  • -- ELIZABETH MARSHE, buried 12 Jan. 1605 in South Mimms, Middlesex, England, married Arthur Cockett.
  • -- JOAN MARSHE, probably buried 8 May 1600 in Chipping Barnet, Hertfordshire, England, probably married Michael Underwood.
