Did not marry Mary Cock [9 May 2010]

Besides that mosts sources I have seen identify Mary Cock as the third wife of John's father, and not John's, according to the dates given, he died at the age of 16, and so did not live long enough to marry. Men almost never married before 21 due to the necessity of being able to support themselves which required owning land which required being 21. --Jrich 21:10, 9 May 2010 (EDT)
