• Notes

  In his will, dated 14 Dec. 1588 and proved 9 Sept. 1589, Agnes, his wife, was appointed executrix, with power reserved to his six surviving children. The striking similarity in the list of his children to the names of the children of the contemporary John Carleton of Beeford indicates that the two men must have been cousins, if not brothers. A careful consideration of the other items of the parish register leads to the conclusion that this John must have been the s/o Edward above. The Will of JOHN CARLETON of Bransburton, within Holderness, county of York, weaver, dated 14 Dec. 1588.[:BOLD] To my two eldest sons Edward Carleton and Robert Carleton my workhouse with all necessary looms belonging to the occupation of a weaver. To George Carleton, my son, a brown cow. I will my wife shall bring up a calf of the said cow and give to Mathewe Carleton. If the said George die, then the said Mathewe shall have both the cow and the calf. I give my farmhold and the title thereof to my wife to bring up my said children. All the residue of my goods, my debts paid and funeral expenses discharged, I give to Agnes my wife, Robert Carleton, Edward Carleton, Mathewe Carleton, and George Carleton, my sonns, and Jane Carleton and Suzan Carleton, my daughters, whom I make my executors. I desire my brother, William Carleton if he be so minded to take unto him my son Edward with the half of the workhouse to learn the occupation belonging to a weaver. Witnesses: William Smithe and others. Proved 9 Sept. 1589 by Agnes relict and executrix, with power reserved to Robert, Edward, Mathew, George, Jane and Suzan Carleton, children of the deceased and co-executors named in the will.
