FAMILY GROUP RECORD OF
JOHN AND MARGARET HYTCHEMAN
1546/7 Margaret Hitchman's will. [MS Wills Oxon 179.247] The Inventory total was only £3-12s-4d
The mention of her daughter-in-law, Julyann (or Gylyan), establishes
Margaret as James Hytcheman's mother. This also names a sister,
Margaret, for James. The Cropredy burial register shows John
Hytcheman's burial, then the burial of "Margaret, wife John".
This establishes John as James' father.
John and Margaret had the following children:
1. James, born in about 1520
of Cropredy, married Gylyan.
2. Margaret, born in about
1525 of Cropredy.
