(although no parent(s) is/are named it seems reasonable to suppose he was the son of Hercules; fits into a gap between other children known to be his. Since he died as an infant there is unlikely to be any significant difference to anyone's tree if he was someone else's son)

Other Partners: Laurence BROOKE m. 26 Jan 1595/96; Edmund GOFFE m. 26 Jan 1606/07; Nicholas JUCE m. 20 Jan 1611/12Married Bef 1580 - Estimate of date assumes all Hercules' children were Joan's. If Mary wasn't then they must have married about 1581.
Hercules' wife at the time of his death was Joan; whether she was the mother of all of his children I am not certain, although her children named in her father's will shows that at least all from Augustine on were - i.e. all those known of except Mary (each was to receive 40 shillings). By contrast Hercules' daughter Mary (unlike the others not described as Joan's daughter, but simply as the wife of Laurence Juce was only to receive 10 shillings). Augustine Murton's Godchildren did include Augustine Tilson, one of this Mary's sons by her first marriage. If Mary had lost her mother early in life I guess that Joan and Joan's father could have played a big enough part in Mary's life for her to choose her step-grandfather as a Godfather for her son and (as seems to have been the norm) to have given her son the name of a Godparent, in this case Augustine. Mary had married by the time the will was written, and she may well have received less because her grandfather had given her her portion at the time of her marriage, though two of Joan's three sons had also married before the will was written.
Boughton under Blean marriages in the PRs survive from 1558; the fact that Hercules and Joan's is not there suggests they probably married elsewhere, although it could have been accidentally omitted. If Hercules had been married before the PRs could also be expected to have his previous marriage, unless that too were elsewhere, and his first wife's burial - could have been elsewhere but less likely. No Hills were buried between the baptism of Hercules' children Mary and Augustine, further suggesting that Mary was Joan's daughter.
