50 The English Ancestry of 9 Ann 3 (John, 2 Roger 1 ), is shown to have been a sister of Robert (8) by his Will. The date of her birth is unknown ; she married Robert Borflete, probably of Harwich or Dover- court. Their children are named in their uncle's Will in the sequence given below, but whether this was the order of birth does not appear. These were (i) Francis*; (2) Robert (3) Thomas; (4) John ; (5) Mary. Of these children Francis is given " Puttytes " in Great Oakley, by his uncle, and his parents are to have it until he is twenty-one. If we may infer from this that he was the eldest son, it would indi- cate that Ann was much younger than her brother ; indeed none of her children were of age when he died in 1556/7. The name Borflete is occasionally found on the Parish Reg- ister of Harwich, but the record begins too late to give particulars of the marriage of Ann, or of the birth of her children, if that was their home. 10 Thomas, 3 of Harwich (Thomas? Robert 1 ). If we are correct in believing him to be the son of Thomas (4), of Ips- wich, he must have been born as early as 1490, which date is measurably confirmed by the fact that his Will shows he had grandchildren living when he died. His death occurred be- tween 18 November, 1550, the date of his Will, and 17 De- cember following, the date of probate. In what year he removed to Harwich* has not been discovered, but he was taxed in 1540 "on his movables xvs." when he is called "of * At least two of his married daughters were living in Suffolk when he died ; this may perhaps indicate that Thomas lived there before he is found at Harwich. ;
Reinold and Matthew Marvin 5 Harwich and Dovercourt," the former place being regarded as in some sense a dependency of the latter, in which the " mother Church " of the Parish was located. He married Anne , who survived him. He owned a house and garden in Harwich, where his widow resided until her death, and in her Will, made 30 March, 1558, and proved 30 December following, she mentions some of its rooms and furnishings. From allusions in this Will it may be inferred that her husband was a shop-keeper in Harwich, and both Wills show that he owned other estates there beside his residence, to which the widow refers, while the list of her debtors proves that she had money to lend. Both husband and wife were buried, if the directions given in their Wills were observed, the former in the old Church of St. Nich- olas, Harwich, and the latter in the Church-yard which adjoins it. Harwich was the principal port and market-town for the Parishes in the north-eastern part of Essex ; it is seventy- two miles from London, and stands on a cliff of peculiar formation, which juts into the sea at the mouth of the Stour, having that river (which separates Essex from Suffolk) on the north and Orwell Haven on the south, making a good harbor. Two centuries ago there were but three principal streets in the place, called High, Church, and West streets, with numerous lanes or alleys. Its chief trade was from the fisheries carried on by its people, who supplied London with cod from the North Sea, and lobsters from the coast of Nor- way. Henry VIII made a royal visit to Harwich, 8 June, 1
