  • Notes 
    • John Briant
      BIRTH: "Say 1570? 1575 (eldest known son bap. 1595)." See the email below.
      WILL: Will dated 11 July 164[torn], proved 20 June 1643. See the email below.
      COMMENT: Will mentions William Carpenter, son of William Carpenter (the latter Bryant's son-in-law). Dated from 1640? 1642 (last digit of will date not visible); proved 20 June 1643. His will calls him a grocer.
      NAME: Bryan in the will, but Gene Zubrinsky mentions other documents (See email below) using Briant.

      E-MAIL:
      From: Gene Zubrinsky
      Subject: Re: William & Abigail Carpenter (Correction)

      Thank you for forwarding the will of John "Bryan" (appended below)? and thanks again for making me aware of it. Since John Briant, son of John and Alice Briant, was baptized at Shalbourne in 1595 (Bishops' Transcripts, Bundle 1, Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre), I wouldn't estimate the father's birth year as any time close to 1580. I'm not aware that there's enough evidence from which to make a useful estimate. But under duress, I'd write "say 1570? 1575 (eldest known son bap. 1595)." In any case, here's an abstract of the will (second opinions welcome). Note that the year in which the will was made is uncertain (between 1640 and 1642).
      JOHN BRYAN the elder of Newtown, parish of Shalbourne, Wiltshire, grocer. Will dated 11 July 164[torn], proved 20 June 1643 (Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, The National Archives, PROB 10/639/11:19? 20 [digital image]). Burial to be in Shalbourne parish churchyard. Bequests (in order of appearance) to son John's daughters Mary (eldest), Lucie (youngest), Dorothie (< 21; "if shee turne protestant"); son Joseph's son Edmund (< 24); daughter Elizabeth Tubbe's sons John Tubbe, Nathaniel Tubbe (both < 24); daughter Elizabeth Tubbe; William Carpenter (< 24), son of William Carpenter; son John; son Joseph (primary beneficiary; successor executor, if necessary); godson Jonathan Pearse, alias Moone; goddaughter Mary Webbe; the poor of Shalbourne and Chilton; wife, Alice (executrix). Overseers [to assist executrix] Mr. Benjamin Some ("my pastor"), Edmund Halford; witnesses Edmund Halford and Geffrey Platt.
      Since all other records I've seen that name members of this family have the surname as Briant(e), I'll retain that spelling in the William Carpenter sketch. I may, however, add something to the MARRIAGE section indicating the Bryan spelling in the will and thereby also make readers aware of it.
      Thanks.
      Gene Zubrinshy
