WILLIAM Ginn

(Sep 1553 - 1635)

William (b 1553, d 1635/6) was the eldest son of his father Henry (d. 1615) but neither his father nor his grandfather seem to have liked him much and he was therefore largely disinherited. Ironically, he is the only Ginn of his siblings to be known (without doubt) to have Ginn descendants alive today, so his genetic inheritence has triumphed at least! And he has one other claim to fame among the Ginn family as we shall see.

As I say, William was largely disinherited.

William Ginn died in 1636 - he was 83. There is nothing in surviving manorial papers to suggest any copyhold property passing to his sons, though he had at least inherited the ability to live a long life from his Ginn ancestors. Elizabeth predeceased him in 1633 - she was 76. William and Elizabeth (Stringer) had a good number of children.
