Family notes:
·
This is highly likely a mixture of multiple
‘John Sydenham’ records. The only correlation is the persons with which they
are associated.
·
There are multiple “John Sydenham” persons
living in this area at this time. Two are even brothers, one the elder and the
other the younger; while another “the younger” is actually a grandson, s/o
Walter, s/o John.
Children of John
and Joan:
i. John Sydenham (38986), born ~1435 in Somerset, England.
