Hi Robert, > > and Johns Will in 1608 men and armour he is in Dursley area a servant to > Thomas Smith - 1 - m. 1= aman 20+ ie 20-30 M= man of medium stature why would he inherit property in Cam in 1599, be living in Dursley in 1608, and then back in Cam in 1660? Also, this John must have been born between 1578 and 1588, yet you have him marrying Anne Oliffe and having a daughter Sarah in about 1565! Also, you have his parents marrying about 1545. We know from the 1599 will of Robert that John is his eldest son. We also know that Robert is alive in 1553, but don't know what age he was. If we are not careful, John could end up being in his 90s (or older) when he made this will, and at that time his wife was still alive! Could there be a missing generation? I.e Robert who died 1599 had a son John (who was old enough in 1599 to have been lent 12s - not a small sum), and that this John also had a son John who died in 1661? Also, regarding your wondering whether Nicholas could have been the first to move to Cam, and therefore his son Thomas possibly having a son John who married in Dursley, bear in mind that Robert got his property in Cam by right of his marriage. That doesn't prove anything one way or other about his father or brothers I know, but should be born in mind.
