  • The will of Jane, widow of John Field, is dated July 17, 1609, and she was buried at East Ardsley, Aug. 3, 1609. They had nine children — Richard, born in 1562; Matthew, born in 1563; Christopher, born in 1565; John, born in 1568; William, born in 1570; Thomas, born in 1572; James, born in 1574; Martin, born in 1577; Ann, born in 1580. The oldest, Richard, was disinherited by his father. Matthew, lord of the manor of Thumscoe, named in his mother's will, died June 2, 1631. Letters of administration granted to his son, Matthew, Aug. 4, 1631. Christopher not named in his mother's will. John not named in his mother's will. William of Thumscoe, executor of his mother's will. Thomas named in his mother's will, in which she calls him her third son. James, Martin, or Ann are not named in their mother's will. By their not being named, Mr. Osgood Field thinks they were not living, which is a matter of doubt, as they may have espoused the Puritan cause and left England.
