Notes for John (Spouse 1)
John is buried in grave P407, though this gravestone is probably not in its original position. He died "in his 83rd year", giving a date of birth in 1608-9.
John son of George is equated with John husband of Margaret because he is likely to have survived to 1667 when the Poll Tax was conducted (though burial records for that period seem to be missing). John son of George is definitely alive in 1662 when he and his wife receive a legacy from the estate of John Eaton. The other 2 Johns in the Hale Poll Tax record can be discounted as one is an unmarried labourer, and the other is a wheelwright who can be identified as a descendent of George's contemporary William the Elder of Hale (d. 1611) through several wills linking that family to the Johnson family. Also John and Margaret, like George, are linked to Hale Barns, specifically in the baptism records of Margaret, George and Josiah.
A John, possibly this one, performed nine apraisals of Inventories in Hale between 1663 and 1679.
The appraisal of John's mother-in-law Margaret Hardy was performed in 1664 by Henry Warburton, raising the possibility he was realated, possibly another son who had left home by 1667. However it is more likely he was the brother of John Warburton, wheelwright, whose relationship to John, if any, is unknown.
