Agnes Lingwood dau. of John and Jane; b. 1564/1565, Bocking, Essex, Eng; d. 14 Apr 1619, Essex, Eng, son Joseph. He was the son of John, and grandson of Thomas Loomis (d. 1551), who married Krystyne Pasfield.
      Agnes Lynwood - Daughter of John Lynwood and Jane Marler. John (b. Braintree) was son of John Lynwood (b. Hereford), grandson of William Lynwood and Mary Wilson, and great-grandson of Geoffrey Llynwood and Elizabeth Sibthrop, Elizabeth being the daughter of John Sibthrop. Jane Marler (b. 1530, Kelvedon) was the daughter of William Marler (b. 1498, Kelvedon; d. 1595) and Jane Caperton. The ancestry of William is: Thomas Marlar (b. 1478, Kelvedon; d. 1540) married Margaret White (b. 1480, Kelvedon); William Marlar (b. 1448, Kelvedon); John Marler (b. 1414, Kelvedon; d. 1450) married Falstafe; John Marler (b. 1374; d. 1419); and John Marlor (d. 1389).



      John Loomis was christened in Thaxted, England in January 1562. He was the son of John Lummys and Krysten Pasfield.

      John moved from Thaxted to Braintree whil a young man. He was a "tailor, tradesman, and a real estate holder". He was in "comfortable circumstances" and was well thought of in "church and community".

      When he was 22, John married Agnes Lingwood, she was about 18. They had five children: Joseph 1590, Ann 1592, Sarah 1594, Elizabeth 1596, and Jane 1598. All the children were born in Braintree. Some sources list Geoffrey Loomis as a son, but it is more likely that Geoffry was John's brother.

      John made his will in April 1619. It was recorded in London on May 29, 1619, and was proven by his son Joseph a month later on June 21st. "The following is a copy of the will verbatim. The words within brackets supply portions where the paper of the original manuscript is torn away, and they are believed to be the words of the original document". The will reads:
