Archdeacon Will 1665A #022 Andreas/Bride will of John Cormode blacksmith, and copy of the 1655 (about) Articles of Marriage between John Cormode blacksmith (son of Daniel Cormode) and Margaret Cormode (daughter of John Cormode and Christian Casement), will dated 16 April 1665: Summary: copy of original 1655 (about) Articles of Marriage, the copy was dated 28 January 1664/5, between John Cormode (his father Daniel/Donold Cormode) & Margaret Cormode (her father John Cormode & mother Christian Casement); Donald Cormode junior & Jane Cormode (unmarried) are also children of Daniel; witnesses: William Casement (alive in Dec 1672) & John Kneale (alive in Dec 1672) & (all these are dead in 1672) Christopher Cormode & William Casement & Daniel Cormode & Michael Kneale & Philip Radcliffe & vicar Charles Coole. Summary of ArW 1665A #022 Andreas will of John Cormode, died 29 April 1665: wife Margaret Cormode (they married about 1655) was still alive in 1680; has 2 underage children son John [of age by 1680] & dau Catharine, supervisors & siblings: younger brother Daniel & sister Jane, witnesses: Henry Teare & John Kneale & William Teare & Michael Cormode, pledges: brother Daniel Cormode & Henry Teare. NOTE, John Cormode, blacksmith, husband of Margaret Cormode, died in April 1665, with 2 underage children John & Catharine. The grandmother of Margaret, Marriad Casement alias Coole alias Cottier indicated in her will of ArW 1656A #46 Bride [she died before October 1656] that granddaughter Margaret was already married to the blacksmith. Thus, it appears, that John Cormode blacksmith became ill, and in January 1664/5, the Articles of Marriage were written down with the original witnesses subscribing their names, so that if he died, which happened just 3 months later, it would be known what the expectations were regarding legacies. QUESTION, was wife Margaret preganant when John died, & son William was born posthumously, and will of Catharine Crenilt alias Cormode, ?the testator's daughter, seems to indicate (she has 2 brothers: William and John, ArW 1679A #45 Andreas.
