• Notes

  This Short line is likely to go back to a William Short who left a will in 1538 in Walberton, Sussex, ENG. The will is currently be translated by a professional researcher (7/98) as it's in old English. (C-1576) It is possible that thn was married once before he married Joan. This is because of an unexplained baptism of a Thomas Short, son of John Short on Oct. 26, 1606. (C-1592) This could also indicate that his first and seconds sons, John and Thomas had a different mother than Joan Beeding. A partial transcription of the will of John Short is as follows: "May 27 1638, 14th year of reign of Lord King Charles, John Short the elder, husbandman, of the parish of Walberton, County of Sussex, I give and bequeath to my eldest son John Short five pounds of lawful money of England to be paid him within a year after my death. Item. Give and bequeath to two grandchildren John and Harry the sons of the said John Short...
