• Notes

  RFN: 2476 John Josselyn:BO] is first of record at Fyfield, where he live d for a year and a half, at least, after his marriage. Between 16 June 1546, w hen he is taxed at Fyfield, and 20 Apr. 1547, when he is taxed at Chignal-Smea ly, he moved to the latter parish, six miles noreast from Fyfield, although on e of his children was later baptized in the latter place, probably having been born there while her mother was visiting relatives. At some time between 1551 and 1561 he moved to Roxwell, which lies between Fyfield and Chignal-smealy, and there he lived the rest of his life. A glance at the map of Essex shows ho w close to the old ancestral seats of the family this branch of it remained. Fyfield is six mile from Great Canfield, seven miles from Newhall Josselyn in High Roding ( both parishes being in co. Essex), five miles from Hide Hall in Sawbridgeworth, co. Herts, and two miles from Torrell's Hall, ancientl y called Shellow-Josselyn, in Willingale-Doe, co. Essex. Roxwell is six miles from Newhall Josselyn, ten miles from Hide Hall, two miles from Torrell's Hall , seven miles from Great Canfield, and five miles from Fyfield. By a fine date d 1 and 18 May 1573 John Josselyn required of William Water :B O] the property called Bollinghatch in Newland hamlet in the parish of Roxwell , consisting of a house, garden, orchard, one hundred and forty acres of land, ten acres of meadow, ten acres of pasture, and ten acres of wood. This proper ty, now called Boldinghatch, lies about half a mile from Good Easter, co. Esse x, where in the next generation a kinsman of John Josselyn, Rev. Jef frey Josselyn, held the living for fifty years. John Josselyn : BO] held Bollinghatch of the manor of Newland Hall, the lord of the manor, Ed ward Elliot, being a connection by marriage, his daughter Elizabeth having married Thomas Young, third cousin of John Josselyn. :BO ] At the time of his death John Josselyn also held of the Queen a ho use and land called Searles in Roxwell, with other land in Roxwell held of the manor of Fambridge End and land Called Thistledowns in Shellow-Bowels and Wil lingale-Doe held of Henry Josselyn as of his manor of Torrell's Hall .
