   Biography
   John Trowbridge was even more prominent than his father. He was a wool merchant and had a shop next to his father on Fore Street. Monies collected in 1611 for the relief of plague victims at Minehead and Dunster were brought to his house, and in 1625 he supervised the repair of the Taunton House of Correction, and provided a field at West Monkton for tents to quarantine travellers suspected of bringing the plague from London to Taunton. He was regularily churchwarden of St. Mary Magdalen, twice mayor of Taunton (1629-30 and 1637-8), and traded with London and Bristol. ABSTRACTED DETAILS OF THE WILL OF JOHN TROWBRIDGE The will of John Trowbridge of Taunton, woolen draper, published by word of mouth on 1 July 1649 in the presence of George Serle, Esq., and Thomas Trowbridge, his son, and John Trowbridge, his grandchild. He left to his eldest son Thomas Trowbridge his message and tenement near Barthpoole Bridge in the parish of West Monkton, occupied by Henry Beale, to hold to Thomas for the remainder of his term therein after the deaths of the testator and Alice his wife. To his son Thomas his land in Stogursey, viz., certain tenements from which the testator received high rent. All his goods and chattels he left to his son Thomas whom he made sole executor. The will was proved on 25 Feb. 1649/50. The will of John Trowbridge is found at the Public Record Office in London.
   
   Name
   Name: John Trowbridge, of Taunton, co. Somerset [1] [2] [3]
   Orthographic variations: Troubridge, Trobridge, Trowbridge, Trowbrige, Troobridge Troubridge, Trobridge, Trowbridge, Trowbrige, Troobridge, Trobrige
   Coat of arms
   Trowbridge of Taunton, co. Somerset: Or, in fess over water proper a bridge of three arches embattled and towered, gules masoned sable, the streams transfluent, hoisted on the tower a forked pennon argent pointed sinister. [1] [4]
   
   Or, in fess over water proper
   a bridge of three arches embattled
   and towered, gules masoned sable,
   the streams transfluent,
   hoisted on the tower a forked
   pennon argent pointed sinister.
   The Trowbridge arms are an allusion to the name, depicting a bridge of three arches with water flowing through the arches. The Trowbridges of Taunton, co. Somerset do not appear in the Visitations nor do I believe has a grant of arms to this branch of the family been found from before the 18th century. Yet it is certain that they were an armigerous family based on church stained glass windows bearing their arms, and items mentioned in wills; it would also be expected that they would bear arms from their position as leading merchants of Taunton and as mayors of Taunton. Both the standard description (the blazon) and the depiction (the emblazon) of the arms comes from ‘The Trowbridge Genealogy’ by Francis Bacon Trowbridge (blazon improved for accuracy).
   Birth
   Baptized: 25 March 1570 at St. Mary Magdalen in Taunton, co. Somerset, England. [2]
   Marriage and Children
   Married: Agnes Prowse on 31 July 1597 at Tiverton, co. Devon, England. [2]
   Two days before the marriage, an agreement was signed by their parents. Thomas Trowbridge in "consideration of a marriage between his son John and Agnes daughter of John Prowse Sr., surrendereed to Agnes for life the income from real estate in the occupation of Alice Hutchins." [2] This Alice was Alice Lawrence als Hutchins, mother-in-law of Thomas Trowbridge and grandmother of John Trowbridge.

   Notes
   John Trowbridge, herein supposed to have been father of Thomas, was the only son and heir of Thomas the elder, a rich merchant of Taunton, whose benefactions and will (drawn 6 July, 1619, proved 6 May, 1620) are given fully in T.F. He was baptized at Taunton on 25 March, 1570 [T.F.J, and was probably married not far from 1595. no record appearing at Taunton either of his marriage or of the baptism of his eldest son Thomas. The baptisms of eight other children are recorded there in regular order, beginning with 8 February, 1598/9. That Thomas was probably John's son and heir is shown by the broad fact that he succeeded John as the chief Trowbridge of Taunton, just as John had succeeded his father; and more particularly by the otherwise unaccountable coincidences between the names of their sons. John's four sons were, in order, Thomas, after his father, John, after himself, William, and James. Thomas s four sons, in order, were John, after his father, Thomas, after himself, William, and James.
   Like his father, he was at one time Mayor of Taunton. His actual burial location is not known.
