   LifeSketch: John Preston of Upper Newton, 1686-1743ton of Upper Newton and his wife Elizabeth Woodburne. His brothers, Christopher, the eldest, and William, the middle son, both died in in childhood. John also had two younger half-brothers, the children of his father's second wife, Margaret Kilner. George, the elder, survived childhood, but William, the younger, died at four years of age. in February 1687, a little over three months after his birth. Christopher, his older brother, and Christopher Preston, his paternal grandfather, also died that year, leaving him to be raised by his paternal grandmother, Agnes Bigland, who assisted in the rearing of her grandson until her death in 1693. However, she had help after 1691, when Margaret Kilner became the second wife of John Sr. Margaret took over the duty of raising young John and her own two sons, who were born in 1692 and 1695. Later that year, John Preston Sr. died at the age of 39 years , leaving behind his young widow, and sons John aged 9, George aged 3, and William less than a year old. nd his sons, and she had brothers nearby, who could assist her with the farm work and mentor her sons as they grew to manhood. It is unlikely that John Jr. would have felt an outcast at any time, for the Kilners were closely related cousins as well as in-laws.d of his father's house and outbuildings, as well as land his father had inherited from his father or purchased from near neighbours. It was only about three acres and three rods in size, which is small by comparison to farms today [2016], but at the time it was sufficient, when many were landless, to provide a family with subsistence and a little other income besides. his inheritance with qualification. He had to make sure he provided his youngest half-brother William with 40 pounds of English money when the latter reached the age of 21 years. Otherwise, William's uncles, William Kilner of Seatle and Edward Kilner of Ayside, would have the legal right to sell the property to obtain the required 40 pounds with the residue going to John. This clause was never invoked, however, as William died at four years of age in 1699. On the other hand, George, John's other half-brother, survived and inherited land at Lindale that his father had purchased from William Kilner, George's uncle, and land at Witherslack that had been purchased from Richard Rowlandson, George's great-uncle. e. We know little about Sarah Barrow, his wife, but she probably came from Meathop where her brother James Barrow resided. However, John and Sarah's marriage bond, dated 30 November 1711, contains a clue that may eventually identify the origins of Elizabeth Woodburne, John's mother. not marry. The bondsman pledged an amount, usually specified by law, to an official as a guarantee that such impediments did not exist. Usually, he was a close relative, either a father, brother, or uncle. In John and Sarah's case, the bondsman was "Richard Taylor of Cartmel Town," who may have been John's maternal relative. Thomas Woodburne of Slacke, Lindale, and Grange was married to Agnes Taylor in 1635, and they had five sons between 1635 and 1646. They may also have had a daughter Elizabeth around the early 1650s, when there is a gap in the church register. If this is the case, Elizabeth's forebears have been identified. died in infancy, and Elizabeth died at nine years of age, but the rest survived. John, George, and James all married and raised families of their own. passed away in 1643, at the age of 57 years. His will, transcribed below, is very informative.l Being of Sound and perfect minde and memory doth make and ordain this my Last will and Testament in maner and form following first I Recommend my soul into the merciful hands of god who gave it and my Body I Commit to the Earth to be Decently Interd by the Discretion of my friends; and as for and Touching such Temporal Estate as the Lord in mercy hath Lent me I Dispose thereof as hereafter in this my will is Expressed.
