with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Est 1495 - Link to parents: named with four of his sons (Peter, Bennet, Thomas and Philip) in the will of his brother Nicholas.
Nicholas was of Spridelston (from his will); I have yet to see the IPM of his father but he too is described in the pedigree in Vivian as of Spridelston, I expect the link is in that.
Estimate of year of birth based on his eldest son John being born about 1525.
