William HOLBROOK wrote his Will on 11 Dec 1625, and it was proved in Feb 1626. So he probably died in Jan 1626.
Son of Thomas Holbrook
Husband of Edith (Unknown) Holbrook — married 1586 in Glastonbury, Somerset,
Descendants
Father of Joan (Holbrook) Gylles, Elizabeth (Holbrook) Tylye, Thomas Holbrook, John Holbrook, Rebecca (Holbrook) Weaver, William Holbrook and Bassell Holbrook
Died about Jan 1626 in Glastonbury, Somersetshire,
Biography
"Thornbury is only a few miles north of Glastonbury, which was probably the home of Thomas Holbrook. William Holbrook of Glastonbury, the father of our American progenitor, named his first male child Thomas. There are many other circumstances that make it probable that Thomas and Constans (Thayer) Holbrook were the parents of William Holbrook who was born circa 1562. It is impossible to ascertain the exact date of his birth as the baptismal records of the Church of St. John the Baptist, in which parish he was undoubtedly born, do not begin until 1600. His will, signed December 11, 1625, and probated in February of the following year, is still on record at Wells, the county seat of Somersetshire. This quaint document gives us considerable information on the Holbrook family. In this will, after commending his soul to Almighty God, he divided his earthly possessions amongst his children, viz., Thomas, John (if living), William the younger, his daughter Basell and his three grandsons. His son William Holbrook was made executor and residuary legatee while his sons-in-law, Clement Weaver, Sr. and Thomas Tylye were appointed overseers." [1]
Buried February 1, 1626. Due to the ground being frozen during the Winter, many weren't buried until Spring.
