Individual Note

NOTE: His marriage bond gives his age as 23, suggesting he was born in 1703. Thus, it is perhaps more likely he is the John Merry christened 6 June 1703 in Eynsham, son of Nicholas Merry.

His will mentions that he is a yeoman of Freeland. It refers to land purchased of John Broadest of North Leigh. http://gw.geneanet.org/wsa?lang=en;pz=worth+shipley;nz=anderson;ocz...
