John Whithead, Mayor of Coventry 1598
« on: Saturday 05 February 05 19:46 GMT (UK) »
 :)Does anyone think they might be descended from John Whit(e)head, Mercer and Mayor of Coventry in 1598?  He died during his tenure of office.  PCC Will.  Wall Brass in Holy Trinity, Coventry.  My Whitehead ancestors are only in Coventry 19-20 century, previous to this they were farmers in Baxterley, N. Warcks, and previous to that c.1600 in Middleton, Nr Tamworth.  Simon Whitehead, [bur 25 May 1666] = Grace? 1640? son Richard [bur 16 Apr 1708, Baxterley] =Elizabeth Underhill 18 May 1664, Middleton,Warcks. Family remained in Baxterley until c. 1830s when Joseph became Farm Manager at Canley, Coventry.
I have been on this search for 40 years and would like to know of anyone else who may be connected please.
Another tantalising event is the burial on Christmas Day 1732at Baxterley of father and son both John Whitehead.  An epidemic or some kind or a family row?  No comment in the parish register or BTs.
