Will witnessed by Sir Richard Chapman and Sir Nicholas Byrsall (priests).
John left 3 shillings and four pence to "The Kyng's Highway between Cowden and Edenbreg". He was evidently a man of position and a considerable landowner as he made "Mr. Edward Guldeford Esquyre, William Tornar and William Wykenden his feoffees" to make a trust by which his wife, Johane, was to enjoy the revenues of his lands and tenements in Kent and Sussex for life, and "to make an estate thereof to Richard Wekynden and Johan, my daughter, to them and their heirs, save the house I dwell in with two gardens and a barn which shall be at the disposition of my said daughter...." the rest is on page 41 of the Guy Ewing History of Cowden, Ed.)
John's will was proved in Rochester Consistory Court. His wife was his residuary legatee and executrix.
