  • 10. JOHN7 EVERARD (9. Thomas6, Henry5, Thomas4, John3, William2, William1), was born about 1545. By the will of his father means were provided for apprenticing him to trade in London. Under the customs of that time no one could engage in business for himself in the City of London without first serving an apprenticeship of at least seven years to a freeman of one of the livery companies (or mercantile guilds), and large premiums were paid for placing apprentices who were usually indentured when about fifteen years of age. Accordingly, John7 Everard was apprenticed as a goldsmith in 1560, and in 1567, at the age of twenty-two years, became a freeman of the City of London. At the same time he succeeded to his father’s lands in Great Canfield, and also received by his father’s will £100, a handsome legacy for those times, and equal to £3,000 at the present day. With this patrimony he was able to establish himself in business as a goldsmith in London, and he continued as such until his death in May 1598.
  • The will of John Everard, citizen and goldsmith of London, dated 30 Apr., 1598. Father-in-law John Bourne. Wife Judith. Cousin [second cousin and head of the family] Richard Everard, Esq., of Much Waltham, co. Essex. Daughter Parnell Everard. Son Thomas Everard. My other children [not named]. Wife Judith, executrix. Proved 17 May 1598. (P. C. C., Lewyn 44.)
  • He married about 1574, Judith Bourne, daughter of John Bourne; she survived her husband about four months, dying about September 1598. The will of Judith Everard of London, widow of John Everard, late citizen and goldsmith of London, dated 13 Aug. 1598. To my son Thomas Everard, £20. To my daughter Mary Everard, my best bedstead. All my other goods to be sold and the money to be equally divided among my five unmarried daughters, Mary, Martha, Judith, Margaret and Sarah Everard, at their ages of twenty-one years or on marriage. To my son-in-law Thomas Wood, £20, he to be executor. Overseers, John Bourne, Richard Wyseman and Thomas Rudd. Proved 25 Oct. 1598. (P. C. C., Lewyn 84.)
    • A copy of his original Last Will and Testament + Probatum is posted in Sources.
  • Children, all probably born in London:—
    • i. PARNELL, b. about 1575; m. in 1598, THOMAS WOOD.
    • ii. THOMAS, b. about 1578; d. of the plague in London in 1599.
    • iii. MARY, b. about 1581.
    • iv. MARTHA, b. about 1584.
    • v. JUDITH, b. about 1587; m. at Preston, co. Suffolk, 24 Jan. 1615/16, Samuel8 Appleton, gent., bapt. at Little Waldingfield, co. Suffolk, 138 Aug. 1586, son of Thomas7 (William6, Robert5, Thomas4, John3, John2, John1) and Mary (Isaac) Appleton. In Jan. 1686 a fine was levied between Richard Pepys, armiger, and Samuel Browne, armiger, querants, and Samuel Appleton, gent., and wife Judith, deforciants, of lands, etc. in Great Canfield, co. Essex; warrant against themselves and their heirs. (Feet of Fines, Suffolk, Hilary, 12 Charles I.) This sale of property in Great Canfield by Samuel and Judith (Everard) Appleton at the time of their emigration to America seems to clearly establish her identity as the Judith8 Everard daughter of John7 Everard of London who inherited lands there from his father Thomas6 Everard of London who secured them by his marriage with a daughter of John Wiseman of Great Canfield in Essex. This parish is over thirty miles from Little Waldingfield in Suffolk, the ancestral home of the Appletons, and within this radius from Little Waldingfield there are in Essex and Suffolk over six hundred parishes. It is much more reasonable to consider that Samuel Appleton’s wife Judith was the Judith Everard who is known to have been heiress to lands in Great Canfield, rather than that Samuel Appleton had happened to acquire lands by purchase in that particular one out of six hundred parishes (This seems suggestive rather than conclusive E. F.). In the Spring of 1636 Samuel Appleton emigrated with his family to New England and settled in Ipswich, Mass., and he d. in June 1670. Children born in Little Waldingfield (Appleton): 1. Mary, bapt. 10 Dec. 1616. 2. Judith, bapt. 18 Oct. 1618. 3. Martha, bapt. 12 Nov. 1620. 4. John, bapt. 17 Nov. 1622. 5. Samuel, bapt. 2 Feb. 1624/5.
    • vi. MARGARET, b. about 1589.
    • vii. SARAH, b. about 1591; m. as his second wife, about 1612, REV. DANIEL ROGERS, b. about 1578, eldest son of Rev. Richard Rogers of Wethersfield, co. Esgex, England, and brother of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers who founded Rowley, Mass., in 1639. Mr. Daniel Rogers graduated at Christ College, Cambridge, A. B., 1596, A. M., 1599, and S. T. B., 1606, and succeeded his father as lecturer at Wethersfield, England. All of this Rogers family and their connections were noted and zealous Puritans. Children (Rogers): 1. Hannah; m. Roger Cockington. 2. Samuel. 3. Mary. 4. Margaret.
