"2. John2 Whitbread (Thomas1), born probably about 1548, was a resident of Upper Gravenhurst as early as 1571, and appears to have been the John Whitbred (as the name is written in the parish register) who was buried 28 Nov. 1598. Diligent search has failed to bring to light a will or other probate record and no deeds to or from him have been found."
