Notes for George Platt:
On his recent trip to England, Dick visited the Hertford County Records office and found a copy of a will which showed that Douglas Richardson was right, there were two George Platts, and they were cousins.
George was a tailor. On 28 March 1594 he was named third of the sons in the will of Symonde Platt of Weare. He lived in Ware, Hertfordshire, England, in 1604; Lay subsidy rolls for Braughing Hundred, co. Hertford, which contains the parish of Ware, from 9 Elizabeth I (1566) through the reign of Charles I were searched to find more on the Platt family. Most of the rolls were in poor condition and illegible, but the entry was found: "E. 179/121/282.2 James I. George Platte (in terris) xx s.(assessment) ijs. viijd"[George Platt was taxed on 20s. worth of land in the year 2 James I [1604], and the amount of the assessment was 2s. 8d].
On 5 January 1608/9 he was called "brother George Platt at Ware county Hertsford" in the will of Sarah Platt of London.
The will of George Platt is dated 16 April 1609; George signed his mark.It was proved 28 April 1609 by Mary Platt relict and sole Executrix.Commissary Court of London for Essex & Herts.Bequests: "First my Soul to God...Body to Earth...To Mary my loving wife, the house I now dwell in lately bought of Humfrey Parker, for her natural life. After her death, the house with its appurtenances I give to my Son Richard Platt and his lawful heirs, when said Richard shall reach the age of 24 years, and for want of such to my Son George Platt and his lawful heirs, and for want of such to my son William Platt and his heirs forever.To my son William Platt, the house I bought from Stephen Burton of London, Grocer, and to my son William's heirs for ever, but my wife Mary or her assigns shall hold this house untill my said son shall attain the age of 24 years.To my said son William Platt, L10, to be paid to him at the age of 24 by my Executrix.To my son George Platt and his lawful heirs, three half acres of meadow lying in Crane Mead, but Mary my wife or her assigns shall hold the said three half acres until my son George reaches the age of 21.To my daughter Mary Platt, L20, to be paid to her by my Executrix at 18 years or her day of marriage, whichever happens first.My beloved wife shall educate, bring up, maintain and keep, 'with sufficient meat drinke lynnen and wollen what is fitt and necessary for them' till they come to 18 years my children George, William, Richard and Mary.To Mary my wife, all my remaining goods and chattels whatsoever, 'my debts and funerall and legacies being payd,' and she is to be sole Executrix."

| v. | John Wood373, born Abt. 1598; died 05 Apr 1665 in Roydon, Essex, England. |
| Notes for John Wood: His baptism was not recorded in the Roydon Parish Registers, so presumably he was born and baptized in his mother's native parish. He married Elizabeth Bennett of London on 13 January 1623/24 in East Ham, Essex, England. He died on 5 April 1665 in Roydon, Essex, England. He was buried on 7 April 1665 in Roydon, Essex, England, as "John Wood widdower and preacher of God's Word." John was probably educated at Cambridge University, not far from Roydon, but there are too many John Woods in Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses to identify him.He was ordained to the ministry, and as a Puritan was ejected from his living either in 1660 or 1662.A. G. Matthews, Calamy Revised, 1934, p. 541 mentions a John Wood, Rector of Barnardiston, Suffolk, who was ejected from that living in 1662, but again it is not possible to identify him as this John Wood. John and Elizabeth had no children that survived, if they had any at all. The will of John Wood of Roydon, County Essex, Clark, was dated 9 July 1663, proved 10 June 1665 by Josias Wood, probate granted to Mr. Josias Wood, brother and executor, sworn at the sum of L27 8s. 10d., Ware, 18 June 1665.He gave to John Wood, son of his brother Josias Wood, 2 acres of meadow in Hunsdons Meade.To Samuel Wood, second son of brother Josias, the house called Simons in Hunadon, with land called Simons Feildes and a wood in Hunadon occupied by Thomas Holgate.To Joseph Pett meadow in Hunadon Mead occupied by Thomas Holgate.To Jeams Pett the house and orchard in Roydon where John Hubbins lived.To Jane Pett a pasture belonging to the house occupied by Thomas Holgate.To Josias Hale, son of brother Nathaniell Hale, the house called Culvers with lands called Culvers Croft and Little Amwell; also to Josias land called Brandt alias Brantlings in the parish of St. John's at Hertford, he paying to his brother Josua Hale L10, the land going to Josua in case of non-payment; also to Josias an acre of land in Barrow field in Amwell, he paying his sister Mary Hale L10, the land going to Mary in case of non-payment.To Samuel Hale the freehold lately bought of Samuell Gridley which belonged to the house called Culvers.To Elizabeth Hale the land called Sprittles in Hunadon occurpied by Thomas Holgate.To brother Josias Wood all goods and moveables unbequeathed, and he to be sole Executor. |
