About John Grimwood

John GRIMWOOD died about 1715 in Bramford, Sfk.

From http://www.grimwoodons.webspace.virginmedia.com/tree19/d1.htm#i10893

Some researchers (including the IGI submitter) think that his wife was Susan Hoggar and the marriage took place in Barking in 1678. I think that this is another John & Susan as it is indicated that John's son William was born c1672 (from age at death). Of course the mother of John's children may not be Susan, she may just have been his wife when he died.
There was another marriage of a John and Susan in 1673 in Elmswell, I have yet to investigate this.
The birth date and place for the children of John and Susan came from the IGI. The only baptism I have found is Phillip in Barking (son of John & Susan). He was not mentioned in the Will 1713 I am highly suspicious of this whole family. I assume the names in the IGI came from the Will and are just guessed 2years apart, which suggests that they are fictious dates. If it is a different John & Susan these suggested ages are meaningless. Possibly the only child of John and Susan Hoggar is Phillip! John the tallow maker (this tree) maybe a completely different John & Susan.
