Nicholas Cawton

Nicholas Cawton married Anne Rastell at St. Peter at Arches, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England on 17 Aug 1595. (1) Judging from the date of the marriage, he must have been born about 1570.  He and his wife had at least four daughters.  The first two are mentioned as wives in his will of 1630.  However, his two youngest daughters, Jane and Thomasine, did not marry until 1632, two years later.  An interesting aside: Jane and Thomasine married on the same date, but in different churches! The will of his wife Anne Rastell, written in 1636, confirms that Jane did marry William Dawson and Thomasine did marry William Coddington.
As noted, Nicholas Cawton wrote his will in Jan 1630.  He named his wife Anne, his two married daughters, Bridget and Alice, and his daughters Jane and Thomasine, still unmarried.  He also named a grandson, James Burwell, son of his daughter Bridget. (2)
