Notes for John Breedon
Alumni Oxoniensis has this entry:
“John, s. Thomas, of Moreton, Berks, cler. St John’s Coll., matric 5 July 1726, aged 17; created D.C.L. 3 July 1754, then of Bear Court, Berks.”
This looks very much like this John; he was born in 1708, his father had died in 1718 so his mother and children probably moved to Moreton where his father came from.
Alumni Oxoniensis has also:
(1) a John Breedon, s. John of berecourt, Berks, matric 3 Oct 1760 aged 18. This sound very much like a son of the above.
(2) a Henry Breedon, s. John Symonds,, of Bear Court, Berks, doctor. matric 3 Dec 1810, aged 19. Recgtor of Pangbourne: 1817-1845 when he died.
_________________
From the Victoria County History of Berks (see his father’s Notes), he inherited Pangbourne manor from his uncle, another John Breedon, who had died in 1711.
The deeds of ‘Breedon family of Bere Court, Maidenhatch and Pangbourne’ are held by the Berkshire Record Office as:
Description Held by Reference Further information
1420-1894: Berks deeds 1420-1855 and misc estate papers 1822-94 Berkshire Record Office D/EAt NRA 5186 Pangbourne deeds
_________________
National Archives has a Will of a John Breedon of Pangbourn , Berkshire
Dated 14 December 1776. I have ordered this.
_________________
John’s will explains all... In it he includes this sentence (roughly):
“... to Joseph Bellas, George Bellas and Charlotte Bellas Sons and Daughter of my said half sister Margaret Bellas the sum of one huyndred pounds apiece the legacys to the sons to be paid at the age of twenty five years and the legacy to the daughter to be paid at the ago of twenty one years or day after marriage which shall first happen but without interest in the meantime...”
This makes it evident that RCLP-L was right and that Jane Lybbe did indeed marry William Harvey but only as her second husband.
