Thomas Dennet

16 Nov 1641

Hi Tim
The will is dated 16 November 1641.  Thomas Dennett is from Husbourn Crawley.  He talks about a Ralph Snagge of Kempston and his manor house called Daubeney.  There is a manor called Daubeney in Kempston.  Thomas Dennett owned land, tenements, messuages, etc. in Kempston.   His wife's
name is Mary.  His sons are George, John, Thomas, William, and Robert.  His daughters are Mary (Farr), Ann, Dorothy, Jane, and Martha.  He mentions that his daughter Mary is the wife of Stephen ffarr and they have a son named John.  Did you already know that?  Thomas Dennett has a brother in law named Robert Souyth or Sonyth, of Buckinghamshire. I can't tell if it's a "u' or an "n" in his name.  This scribe is terrible. He talks about a Ralph Comingston and a Thomas Merry.  The will was written in the presence of John Brown and John Meroll. George Dennett must not be married to Elizabeth Farr yet in this will, correct? Pam
