Like Joan, he died unmarried, leaving property and cash bequests to members of his extended family and also mentioning the Apprenticing Fund in his will.</p>
<p>Like Richard Wills, he had siblings who had made their homes in London: his brother George was a turner and his sister Margaret was married to a blacksmith in the capital.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-404 alignleft" src="http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/17th-century-gentleman-249x300.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="290" srcset="http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/17th-century-gentleman-249x300.jpg 249w, http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/17th-century-gentleman.jpg 332w" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" />He had bought his largest landholding from another gentleman, Samuel Hogson and his wife. Hogson is not a familiar name in West Haddon. Was there perhaps a marriage connection? We don&#8217;t know Mary Hogson&#8217;s maiden name, but perhaps she brought the land in West Haddon to her husband as a marriage settlement. Edward left that land, and the two houses or cottages with it, to his cousin Elizabeth, who was married to a local farmer called William Feacon, one of Edward&#8217;s tenants.</p>
<p>The land that he rented to John Bosworth he had bought from his brother Thomas and his nephew, Thomas junior, both of whom were dead by the time Edward came to write his will. There seems to have been some financial difficulty in that branch of the family which had perhaps prompted the land sale. Then Edward had helped out the widowed Ann Burnham, including paying th<img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-405 alignright" src="http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/17th-century-young-woman-222x300.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="262" srcset="http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/17th-century-young-woman-222x300.jpg 222w, http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/17th-century-young-woman.jpg 591w" sizes="(max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px" />e wages of her servant, Rowland Green. And he left money to her daughter, Mary. She was a fortunate young woman, having also received a legacy from her maternal grandfather, Thomas Kirtland who, in 1683 had left £20 &#8216;to my pretty grandchild, Mary Burnham.&#8217;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-336 alignright" src="http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Great-Fire-logo-270x300.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="178" srcset="http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Great-Fire-logo-270x300.jpg 270w, http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Great-Fire-logo.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px" />On the day of the fire, John Warde and his wife Elizabeth had buried their daughter Clement. And the following day they buried their son James.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just possible that the children were casualties of the fire, but it seems unlikely that funerals would have been arranged quite so quickly in the aftermath of the disaster.</p>
<p>How old were Clement and James? The earliest entries in the baptisms register date from 1653 and their names don&#8217;t appear there, so they must at least have been older than four. Was it accident or illness that killed them? Why were they not buried on the same day? So many questions and no answers. But the loss of both children and their house and belongings all within a few days must have left John and Elizabeth reeling.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-370 alignleft" src="http://westhaddonhistorysite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/17th-century-family-with-children-cropped.jpg" alt="" width="356" height="261" />We know very little about the couple except that John was a small farmer. Records of various property transactions in the years running up to the fire show him selling a number of parcels of land in West Haddon. Around 1631 he had joined with his father Thomas in the sale of about 10 acres to Robert Miller for £23. Then in the 1640s he sold about 15 acres to Edward Clarke &#8211; but we don&#8217;t know how much money changed hands there &#8211; the purchase was simply mentioned in Edward&#8217;s will in 1649.</p>
<p>In 1650 John sold a house with a little yard and one bay of his barn to his neighbour Mark Bonner, for £17. And the following year he sold a close of pasture <em>with</em> <em>Sandy Lane to the East and Nathaniel Brabson&#8217;s close to the south. (</em>Subsequent deeds in the bundle suggest that the pasture was behind the houses on the corner of Northampton Road &#8211; aka Sandy Lane &#8211; and High St.) He sold it, presumably for grazing, to Samuel Newman the butcher, for £24. The following year Samuel Newman sold the same close to Thomas Kirtland, for £28. There must be another story there&#8230;</p>
<p>There is no evidence to suggest that John and Elizabeth were still living in the village in the years following the fire. Did they move away to make a fresh start and try, at least, to put the terrible memories of 1657 behind them?</p>
