Person:Tobias Makin (1)

Disputed Lineages

One GEDCOM upload represents, without source, that Tobias is a child of Tobias Makin and Katherine Sherman. This seems quite improbable if dates of birth are at least approximately correct. The family of John Makyng and Unknown is also without source support, but is at least plausible.

   TOBIAS MAKIN of Fingringhoe, yeoman, son of John "Makyng" of Fingringhoe, co. Essex; under age when named in his father's will on 16 March 1562/3, in which Tobias is called Toby; died probably in Fingringhoe between 14 May 1610 and 10 Sept. 1610, the dates that his will was executed and proved. He married before 1594, perhaps in 1580, KATHERINE WESTBROME, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (-----) Westbrome, who were married in Great Clacton, co. Essex, in 1548 (Percival Boyd's Marriage Index) and lived in Abberton, co. Essex, which is adjacent to Fingringhoe. Katherine (Westbrome) Makin's brother Robert was married at Abberton in 1577 to Catherine Thimble (Boyd's Marriage Index), and her sister Elizabeth was married at Abberton in 1581 to James Paine (Boyd's Marriage Index says Francis Pain).
