John CLENCH

- Yes, date unknown

• Name	John CLENCH  [1]
  Gender	Male
  Residence	Wethersfield, Essex, England
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	"--- called himself "husbandman" in his will even though he seems to have held both freehold and copyhold land. He married, say 1525, Joan Amias, daughter of John Amias, Gent., who survived him." "Since Wethersfield parish registers exist only from 1643 and Bishop's Transcripts from 1629, it is as well that the identifications of the parents of Judge Clench in the Visitation of Suffolk is confirmed by the will of John Clench, dated 20 December 1544, probate date not given. Joan, the testator's wife, was appointed executrix and residuary legatee; three sons, John, the eldest, Richard, and William were all under age, while a daughter, Elizabeth Lore, was already married. Other children who did not live, may also have been born to this couple." [1]
