    Notes:

    James Clerke's will is transcribed here from the [UL:History of the Clark Family:UL] as sent to me via Maude Arundel Ross. "In H.F. Waters' "Genealogical Gleanings in England", Vol. II, page 1109, we find the last will of James Clerke as follows: 'James Clerke, of East Farleigh, Kent, England, gent., 13 July, 1614, proved 1 Nov., 1614, daughter Grace Clerke. I give to Abraham Preble, my servant, five pounds, and to Anne Joyce, my maid, forty shillings, to be paid to every of them within two years after my decease. I give to every of my servants which served me without wages, five shillings apiece, in token of rememberance. Payment to be made to Margery Baker, and she to have a dwelling in my house as before. The reparations of the church, the poor of the parish, Mr Barden, minister, son Edward, wife Mary, my two sisters (not named). I give unto Griffin Roches and Jane his wife, my house and orchard lying at Court Wood gate, in the parish of Hynton, to have and to hold to them during the life of the said Jane, and after her death I give them to Weston Clerke, and to his heirs forever. I give unto Dolor Davis, my servant, my house and land lying in the parish of Marden, which is in the occupation of the Terrye, and after the death of my wife, Mary Clerke, I give unto Weston Clerke all my lands, tenements and hereditaments lying in the parish of Hynton, he paying to his brethren, to every one of them, an hundred pounds, according to my last will, for otherwise I know not how they shall be paid.' " (F-519, 533) The Weston Clerke ihe gives all his lands too is probably his grandson, son of William. (F-533)
