XXXXXXXXXXX
John RIDDLESDALE549, 12G Grandfather. was baptized on 26 Sep 1557 in
Boxford, Suffolk, England. Buried on 4 Jun 1629 in Assington, Suffolk, England.

According to Threlfall's GMC50550, John Riddlesdale "was baptized 26 September 1557 at
Boxford, Suffolk. John and his wife Dorcas were married about 1583, probably at Assington.
The Assington parish register does not start until 1598 and there are no surviving Bishop's
Transcripts for 1583, hence the deduction. Also, their last child was baptized in Assington and
their children married there.

"On 3 January 1613/14, John and Dorcas Riddlesdale sold a 10 acre close, two others of 5
acres and one of 2 acres to John Gryme the elder of Assington and his wife Faith for £120. All
were pasture and lying in Assington. On the same day, Dorcas Riddlesdale released her interest
in land leased in June 1555 by John and Robert Gurdon for 500 years to John Vigorus the
younger, clothier of Langham, Essex. (Gurdon papers at Ipswich -- HD22/1/4). John Vigorus
was perhaps Dorcas's grandfather.

"Dorcas was buried 24 September 1624 at Assington. John Riddlesdale was buried there 4 June
1629, but the burial record says he was of 'Bures.' He was probably living with one of his
children when he died, but was buried next to his wife back in Assington. Bures Saint Mary and
Assington are adjacent parishes and Boxford is adjacent to Assington on the northeast."
