"The 26th of Januarie were Married Laurence Brooke and Joan Hills wid"
That the marriage was of this Joan is shown by Laurence's will in which he names his 'father' as Augustine Murton, the latter naming Joan Juce (as she then was) and her 'Hills' children as his daughter and her children in his will.
In a bequest to his son Thomas, Laurence referred to a pot(?) " that I brought wyth me". Brought from and to where? - I wonder if this indicates that when they married he moved in with Joan rather than vice versa? I think it most likely does. Although described as a labourer in his will he left a cow to his daughter - maybe the one Joan had inherited from her previous husband - so he must have had the use of some land.
The fact that Joan was not only his residual beneficiary (and therefore probably his main one, though impossible to know without knowing the value of his estate) but there were no lifetime restrictions may indicate that she had brought most of the household goods to the marriage.
