John SLADDEN
Set As Default Person -
Name John SLADDEN Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 2 Mar 1661 St. Leonard’s Church, Deal, Kent, England
- From transcribed data on FamilySearch, presumably from ATs or BTs (tbc)
Shows John Sladden, parents Richard and Cecilia, bapt. 2 Mar 1661
I'm not sure if date is OS or NS
Gender Male Occupation Mariner - Described as a mariner of Deal when he married in 1690 and 1692
Died - Probably before 1711 as not mentioned in his mother's will.
Buried 26 Aug 1694 St. Leonard’s Church, Deal, Kent, England
- PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 15 Jan 2020) shows:
"Jno Sladden bu _ Do [Aug:st] 26"There is no sign of a burial for John's father, Richard, although Richard's probate inventory was just 9 days after this burial. So was it John or his father with an error in the Christian name? As it appears that John's wife was a widow by 1696/7, when she seems to have remarried, and there is no other sign of a burial of a John, I think it probably was John's burial. Perhaps both John and Richard died at sea. Since both were mariners an accident could explain the lack of an entry for Richard, as it could be that John's body was recovered but Richard's wasn't.
A sudden death at sea could explain why he seems to have left no will.

Father Richard SLADDEN, bap. 26 May 1636, St. Mary’s Church, Walmer, Kent, England
, d. Abt Aug 1694 (Age ~ 58 years) Mother Cicely BEDLAKE, bap. 27 Sep 1630, St. Leonard’s Church, Deal, Kent, England
, d. Yes, date unknown (Age ~ 84 years) Married - The marriage of Richard and Cicely probably took place during the interregnum, and any record of it probably among the many lost from that period. There may also have been one or more other childrens whose baptisms are also lost, but since their son Richard and his descendants are the only beneficiaries of Cicely's will it seems probable if there were any neither they nor any children they may have had survived Cicely.
It is interesting to note that both Richard's and Cicely's mothers married with the same name: Mary ADAMS.
