John married Edith. Edith died in Calne, Wiltshire in Jun 1601. Buried on 20 Jun 1601 in Calne, Wiltshire.
Will: Edith's estate was probated September 30, 1601 in Consistory Court,
Winton, Hampshire, England.(153)
Her will, dated 15 June 1601, said she was of Calne in the county of
Wilts, and she made a bequest to the parish church and poor box there.
E. C. Felton notes, "The inventory of her estate, dated 19 June 1601,
described her as of Penton Grafton." In his 1895 article (NEHGR v.49),
Mr. Felton abstracted her will: "Edith Bent of Calne in the county of
Wilts widow, 15. June 1601. Proved 30. Sept. 1601. "To the parish
church at Calne four pence. To the poor man's box there four pence.
My son Richard Bent. My cousin Richard Bent son of Robert Bent. My
son in law John Williams wheat at Wayhill. My daughter Ann Street.
My daughter Joan Nash.* My son David Bent executor. Overseers
Robert Tarrant of Clanfield and Richard Cole of Pennington Grafton.
Before Philip Roche vicar there, Richard Fowler clerk. Henry Pears,
Nicholas Gawen, Richard Pester with others. Consistory Court of
Winton." * Mr. Felton's footnote: (Nash is) "Probably a mistake of the
copyist for Noyes. See will of Robert."
