Archdeacon Will 1663A #101 Patrick will of Joney Kermode alias Watterson, died 1 December 1663:
Summary: husband [John] Kermode is alive & remarried to Mary Cubbon alias Clague [he died mid 1670s Patrick, Episcopal Will, Mary died 1685/6, ArW 1685A
#17 Patrick], eldest son Thomas, dau Margaret, dau Alice, son John, dau Joney, also: Thomas Kermode, brother Phinlo Cotteere (that is, Phinlo Quattere/
Watterson) supervisor; also: minister; Joney Comish, witnesses: Thomas Gell & Phinlo Comish.
Husband: Episcopal Will books 1675-1678 Patrick, will of John Kermode.
Will of 2nd wife of husband John: ArW 1685A #17 Patrick will of Mary Kermode alias Cubbon alias xxxx alias Clague, died 13 February 1685/6, she & husband
bought land in Arbory: 1st husband xxxx, 2nd husband [John] Cubbon [died about 1663, ArW 1663A #120 Arbory], 3rd husband John Kermode [Episcopal Will mid
1670s Patrick], son Thomas Cubbon, son & heir William Cubbon, dau Jane Cubbon, dau Christian Cubbon, eldest dau Madge xxxx, stepson ('son in law') Thomas
Kermode, stepdau Alice Kermode, witnesses: Daniel/Donold Callin & John Kermode. NOTE, eldest dau Madge is probably the daughter of a xxxx, a 1st husband
of the testator Mary, since she is not mentioned in the will of John Cubbon nor in the will of John Kermode's 1st wife.
Will of father: ArW 1653A #04 Patrick of William Watterson, died 14 October 1653, intestate: wife [Alice Callin] is not mentioned [ArW 1651A #04 Patrick],
son Patrick (unmarried), son Phinlo, dau Joney (married to John Kermode, they have a Contract bargain), son in law Thomas Radcliffe; sons Patrick & Phinlo
agreed to share the administration of the farm, etc., equally, also John Gell; pledges: Henry Radcliffe & Richard Quirk, NOTE: When a parent died without
a will, the court made the unmarried children administrators of the goods. As William's will indicates, he had other children; his will was not accepted in
Court because it had only one witness.
Will of mother: ArW 1651A #04 Patrick will of Alice Watterson/Quatereh alias Callin, died 4 January 1651/2, intestate: husband xxxx [William] Watterson/
Quatereh is alive [his will ArW 1653A #04 Patrick], son Patrick Watterson/Quatereh, son in law Thomas Radcliffe [married xxxx Watterson] entered a claim
for a 2 year old heifer or follower & other things due by Contract, also a 'former daughter' [?ie, a dead daughter?], pledges son in law Thomas Radcliffe &
Phinlo xxxx [?Watterson, her son]; NOTE: When a parent died without a will, the court made the unmarried children administrators of the goods (in this case,
son Patrick). As husband William's will indicates, they had other children.
Will of brother: EpWill 1670E #054 Patrick will of Phinlo Watterson, died 24 May 1670: son Thomas, Alice (of age), Isabel (of age), Margaret (of age),
brother Patrick, servant Bahie Brew.
NOTE regarding Watterson & Quattere & Cotteer/Cotter: Then there is another conundrum, regarding the surname Watterson, which originally was MacWater, and
became Quattere, which was Anglicized to Watterson. William Watterson died 1653 (ArW 1653A #04 Patrick) with a son Phinlo and daughter Joney who married
John Kermode. (His wife, Alice Quatereh alias Callin died 1651/2, ArW 1651A #04 Patrick.) When daughter Joney Kermode alias Watterson died in 1663 (ArW
1663A #101 Patrick), she indicates that her brother is Phinlo Cotteere, which would be easy to assume it to be Phinlo Cottier. However, I think the scribe
was trying to record the old Manx form of Watterson. Phinlo Watterson died in 1670, EpW 1670E #054 Patrick, naming among others his brother Patrick
Watterson, and daughter Isabel Watterson. Phinlo's wife, Ann Watterson alias Gell, died 1663, ArW 1661A #113 Patrick, and lists all the same children,
including daughter 'Isabel Cotter', which is believe is a confusion with the old Manx surname Quattere, which became Watterson. Then there is the Episcopal
will of 'Margaret Watterson alias Taylor' per her inventory, or 'Margaret Taylor alias Cotter' per her will (Episcopal will books 1659-1666 Rushen); I
believe in this instance also that 'Watterson/Quattere' is the correct surname, and not Cotter.
