Individual Details
WILLIAM Ginn
(1450 - 1520)
William Ginn of Aston (b 1450, d 1520) was a Yeoman farmer who owned a farm/tenement called "Garretts" or "Jarretts" in Aston of about 200 acres. He was a peasant, but a prosperous one and is known by me to have had two sons - Thomas (the elder) who died in 1526/7 and Henry who died in 1539. Court cases, manorial records and wills establish Thomas as the elder son of William and the fact that Henry's granddaughter Katherine married Thomas' grandson John established the sibling connection, the grandchildren married by way of tying in to the two branches the blood ownership of "Garretts".
According to Collins, William Ginn, b. 1450, Aston, Yeoman, was a "Very wealthy man. Owned 220 acres around Aston called 'Jaretts'. Probable father was 'Thomas Jenne Snr' referred to in the Stevenage Manorial Roll of 1483". William's life took place at a time of great upheavel in Britain. Major battles such as the Battle of Towton were fought to determine who would reign. The year 1485 roughly marks the end of the Medieval Period.
