Individual Details
HENRY Ginn
(1476 - 1539)
Henry was quite a prosperous Yeoman farmer and it is known from Feet of Fines records of 1524 that he acquired land in neighbouring Barkway in that year. In the Lay Subsidy records of that same year he was right at the top of the list of the farmers of Anstey paying the tax.
Henry Ginn (b 1476, d. 1539) married Katherine and moved to Anstey in Hertfordshire where, by means of the survival of three sons - Robert, Thomas and William he established a vast Ginn family, members of whom will be discussed at length in later posts.
The four children of Henry and Katherine were alive in 1539, Robert the heir, Thomas, William and Margery. Sadly I know nothing of what happened to Margery, but all three sons have Ginn or Gynn descendants alive today and all will be the subject of later posts. "Henry was also a Yoeman. He owned land in BARKWAY !!!!!! Where ????? He also owned land in Anstey. Mentioned in the muster roll of 1535 as with 'the harness complete of a Billman' i.e the armour & weapons of a Halberdier. (Collins) (See note about Thomas, below) Henry was alive during the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries y King Henry VIII when England officially was converted to the Anglican religion..
Nearby at Anstey Church, "Henry Gynne in 1539 made a bequest to St. Stephen's gild in this church". (The Victoria history of the county of Hertford, v4, pg 17)
