Peter Hardwen - Thomas Clout - John Quintin
Examined by me Geo : Plomer Notary Public
Probatum fuit: 18th October 1717
Notes:
John Cook married Susan Capon 25th October 1702 at St. Mary Northgate, Canterbury.
John is buried there on 15th October 1717, but I cannot find out what happened to Susan.
They had one child that I can find: a son John Cook c. 13th July 1712 at St. Mary Northgate,
but he died and is buried there on 22nd February 1713.
John Cook (of this Will) may be the son of John Cook and Elizabeth Godfrey, who were
married at St. Mary Northgate in 1678.
