WARD OF DRAUGHTON

 

The 1619 will of William Ward of Draughton in the parish of Skipton mentions “my grand childe Henry Goot”. This allows the testator to be identified as the father of Elizabeth Ward who married Christopher Gott at Skipton in 1612, although Elizabeth and Christopher themselves are not named in the will.
