About Mary Bowton
- New England Historical and Genealogical Register [July 2009] Vol. 163
- SEE DOCUMENTS/SOURCES
- Pg.168
- Children of Robert and Margaret (Watts) Multon, probably born at Ormesby Saint Margaret order uncertain:
- i. Robert MULTON, b. say 1501 (or age to be listed in the 1523-24 Subsidy); d. before 4 June 1535, the date of his father's will.
- ii. MARGARET MULTON, b. say 1504; named in her father's 1535 will.
- 2. iii. JOHN MULTON, b. say 1507; m. (1) JOAN GRENE; (2) THOMAZINE ___ .
- iv. ISABELL MULTON, b. say 1510; named in her father's 1535 will.
- v. THOMAS MULTON, b. 1513 or 1514; [15] d. between 10 Sept. 1587 (date of will) and 13 Oct. 1587 (date of probate);[16] m. JOAN GRENE, a woman much

- younger than he, but aunt of the wife of his brother John Multon (the next installment of this article will include an account of the Grene family, correcting these relationships). Thomas Multon was the grandfather of John, James, and Thomas Moulton, also immigrants to New England, as shown in two Register articles.[17]
- A phrase about Thomas in his brother John's 1573 will was not fully transcribed by Jones.[18] John bequeathed to his brother-in-law William Grene "fower acres of Land p'cell of the Tenement and Lands that my brother Thomas Multon nowe dwellethe in in Ormsby livinge in the filde." Other Ormesby testators of the time described land as being in the fields of Ormesby or in the town of Ormesby. This is the same situation. It seems that the will said that Thomas had his own properties and was also overseeing some that John had inherited. In the will John gave his own acres to William Grene, acres that were only a parcel of what Thomas managed. For more about Thomas, his land, and his community position, see MacAllan's discussion.[19]
- Following author Moulton's suggestion,[20] the original Hemsby parish register had been rechecked for the burials of Thomas and his wife Joan. Neither burial was found there.[21]
- 2. JOHN MULTON (Robert), born say 1507 probably at Ormesby Saint Margaret. A fairly accurate transcription of his will, dated 22 June 1573, proved 1 October 1573,[22] is included in the Jones article.[23] MacAllan gives some valueable analysis of the document.[24]
- Careful study of the Greene family suggests strongly that John's first wife was JOAN GRENE, named in the 12 April 1561 will of Richard Grene of Ormesby Saint Margaret as "Jone Multon my doughter." Richard Grene also named "Mary Multon y Nece,"[25] who was the daughter of his sister Joan (Grene) Multon, wife of Thomas Multon. Thus, aunt and niece, both named Joan Grene, married the Multon brothers (the next installment of this article will include an account of the Grene family).

- MacAllen provides convincing evidence that John had at least two wives, the last being THOMAZINE, named in his will, .... etc. ___________________
