• Notes

  Richard Gower wrote his will in Oct 1558 and it was proved in 1560. In addition to his wife, Margaret, it names three children: - John, - Elinor (bap 10 Nov 1555 Hadsor), and - Thomas (bap. 9 Dec 1557). Hadsor/Hadzor parish is a tiny parish just east of St. Peter's, Droitwich. A memorial plaque in the church, put there by his son-in-law, John Yarnold, styled him as "Richard Gower, Gentleman." Richard's will names many persons including a "brother John Gower" who is to help administer his will. He also seems to call William Chese "my brother". William Chese was the Rector of Hadsor Parish. Richard also named "my brother-in-law John Westod" (Westwood)
