    'From an Unknown Source:
    Lived for a time in Essex County, England, at a place called Great Oakley. In 1568 he had become a resident of Acle in the county of Norfolk. He was a mercer by trade. No wife is mentioned in his will, nor has her name been learned. His children were determined by his naming them in his will.
