The Will of John Bate AKA Bates

From Albert Carlos Bates, Ancestral line for eight generations of Capt. Lemuel Bates, 1729-1820, with some records of his descendants (1943),:

John, of Lydd, jurat, married (1) Oct. 28, 1546, Mildred Ward, who was buried June 2, 1577; married (2) June 15, 1579, Mary Bennett.[1] The same source reports John left a will dated 1 March 1579/80, described further below:

His will dated March 1, 1578/80, and proved May 13, 1580, gives to the poor men's box, and to the poor to be distributed on the day of his burial, gives to his three sons lands, tenements, cattle and goods, mentions his leased lands which he has let out, gives to his wife L20 money and household furnishings which he names and her rings and jewels. Mention is made of the loft over the shop, of the hall and the parlor, and of two tables, two bedsteds, a chair, a chest, a cupboard, a stupponet (sauce pan), two kettles, a small brass pan, two platters, two pewter dishes and two fruit dishes. His three sons are named as executors and John Hebblethwaite and William Crouche, jurat, overseers of the will. His estate inventoried L71.12s.4d.[1] Note: The profile reports John was born 1527, but the historical rationale for this finding is not disclosed, nor has it been discovered. He was probably born at Lydd.
