John FORTE ¹

  General Notes:

This John is likely to be the John who had Elizabeth, John, Thomas, Fridisweed, Thomas, and Roger in South Petherton. He is listed as John Forte of Compton in these records. This is assuming he is the only John living in Compton of the age to be writing his will in 1649. He could also have had a child named Thomas who was buried on March 16, 1620/1, Roger buried Feb. 26, 1630/31, Margaret buried May 11, 1645 and wife Elizabeth who was buried March 5, 1644/5 in South Petherton, Somerset, England if he married Prudence after March of 1644/5. (F-472)

  Noted events in his life were:

• Will, 2/12/1650, Compton Durville, S. Petherton, Somerset, ENG.

• Probate, 7/2/1650, Compton Durville, S. Petherton, Somerset, ENG.

John married Prudence FORT after 3/1645.

  Marriage Notes:

This is an estimated marriage date based on the supposition that there is only one John Forte in Compton of this age at the time, at that he therefore, had two wives, the first who is in all records except his will.

John next married Elizabeth COLBERT on 9/26/1608 in South Petherton, Somerset, ENG. (Elizabeth COLBERT died on 3/5/1645.)
