"[Aprill] 25 John Smith & Susan Knight" - under heading '1675'
So far as I am aware I am not a blood relation of John or his wife and family.
They are on my tree because:
1. the 3rd wife of my likely ancestor Michael Rickson, Mary [maiden name unknown], described the sons of John and Susanna as 'cozen' and left them bequests of £10 each in her will (written 1695)
2. Mary also described Susanna as 'cozen' and made her executrix of her will
2. Michael Rickson himself described John and Susanna's son George Smith as 'my very Good Friend' and made him one of the executors of his will.
