Identity

Since there is no birth record for John, it is possible that he was the illegitimate son of William's unwed sister Hannah, who, based on Essex County Court records in 1677-1679, had a child by John Hunkins in 1677 whom William was caring for:

1677. At a Quarterly Court at Ipswich in September 1677, John Hunkins, being the reputed father of Hanah Hayward's child, was ordered to pay 40s to Wm. Hayward for keeping the child to this day and 2s a week by the month until the court take further order, and to be committed to prison till it be done.[19]

1678. At a Quarterly Court at Ipswich in April 1678, the Court ordered that John Hunkins shall pay three pecks of corn a week, at least monthly, to Wm. Hayward toward the keeping of the child.[20]]

1679. At a Quarterly Court at Ipswich in April 1679, the Court ordered that three pence per week be taken off from the amount that John Hunkins was ordered to pay to Wm. Hayward for keeping of the child, and that for the future he would pay 1s per week until the court take further order.[22]

John is named as son in William Howard’s 1709 will:

Item: I ijive to mv two sons, John and Samuel, all the rest and residue of my estate both real and personal, goods, and chattels whatsoever, they paying out the several legaeies, and duly attending to the several duties hereafter named : that is to sa}' ; I give to my three daughters, Marj^ Fuller, Tabitha Hodgkin, and Mercy Hovey, to each of them twenty shillings besides what I have already given them.
