12. | Christopher EASTWICKE (4.Christopher3, 2.Christopher2, 1.Unknown1) was born about 1601 in Northhamptonshire, England; was christened in Apr 1602 in Great Oakley, Northamptonshire, England; died in 1656-1657 in Stoke, Warwickshire, England. Notes:
His will is available in the Canterbury Wills on Ancestry. It is very difficult reading.
He first mentions 3 Estwicks (Marie, Richard and Brooke) as his younger children who appear not yet to be of age. He gives them to the care of his brother Francis and it looks like monetary support to do that. He bequeaths items and care to his wife (Eleanor), his son Francis, his son Isaac, his son Isaace, Christopher, Adrian, daughter Ellinor... and I'm assuming the rest. He names his son-in-law, Robert Wells and his grandchild (via Robert without listing the child's sex or name). This means that Christopher and Eleanor had another unknown daughter who probably died previous to 1657. He names his wife Eleanor as his administrator.
Christopher was "late of London" in a 1648 record. His father Christopher's will in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, suggests that he could have been born anywhere in the Northhamptonshire area as that is the region where the persons he names in his will are from. His father Christopher, lived in Stoke, Coventry, Warwickshire, England when he wrote his will and owned lands in Bedford and Kent which he also bequeathed. These lands covered quite a distance in the southern half of England.
The entry in Caribbeana is as follows:
Christopher Estwicke of St.John's Parish Barbados. Will dated 17th January 1660/1. My wife Anne Estwicke. My children [''three visible''] Ellinor, Mary and Christopher, and a 4th not yet born. My brother Francis. To my uncle Richard E. my gold ring, formerly my father's, with our coat of arms on it. Proved 28 January 1660/1. Entered16 April 1662.
In the tree appearing in Caribbeana it is stated that he "Purchased 50 acres in Barbados in 1641/2. It is assumed that this was Lightfoots in St.John's Parish, Barbados. We can also assume that Estwick died between 17 and 28 January 1660.
Christopher married Eleanor WALDEN between 1627 and 1670. Eleanor (daughter of Isaac WALDEN, daughter of Isaac WALDEN) was born in 1610-1633 in Coventry, Warwickshire, , England; died between 1655 and 1721 in Stoke, Warwickshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
