Notes for John KILBORNE
Of age in 1562 when his mother died. In April 1563 at Waterbeach, he surrendered his land to John Ballard, and likely moved away, as he did not appear when compelled to be present at the Waterbeach court in 1567 and his son William was christened at Wood Ditton in 1567. John appears on the Subsidy of 10 Elizabeth (1568) at Wood Ditton for taxes of 5s 10p on £7 in goods. in 1571/2 (13/14 Elizabeth) he paid 10s on £10, the highest in the parish.
John made his will 23 Sept 1591, describing himself as “of Saxon in the parish of Woodditton in the County of Cambridge yeoman”. Since the will was probated 22 Nov, it seems to have been made on his deathbed. However, it contains elaborate provisions for the distribution of his estate. See will notes for details. Kilborne (1992) thinks there are family tensions indicated, possibly due to the existance of children from two different wives. There is no record of a first wife, but children John and Joan were much older and received much less in the will. [642]
