Hello
Thank you very much for these three replies and his age too.
When I saw
John Terrington and the Hull connection (quoted in my original post), I was hoping John Terrington, might be the Shipbroker (and he still might be). Also that John Jefferson might be a Captain / Ship owner, or Agent or Wharfinger at Hull.
Sculcoates, sounded very promising, but this John Jefferson, in the Hull - Humber - Holderness area, wouldn't be old enough at 45 years in 1815, giving a Birth of about 1770, for the John Jefferson I am seeking. But I didn't know his age.
John HOOD, Master Mariner, born Scarborough, Signed off by John Hood & John Jefferson at HullThe Hull Muster Rolls, of John Hood, Master of the "Industry" to and from London 1781 - 1786 was born Scarbro' about 1740 and Hood's Abode was recorded as either Hull or Selby until 1786.
John Jefferson has also signed some of these Muster Rolls at Hull for Master, John Hood. I believe he is the same J. Jefferson, Master, who sailed the York Union.
John Jefferson, Mariner was Marriage Bondsman to John Hood, Mariner, in 1763 at Scarborough. A John Jefferson has died Scarbro' about 1765. However, that 1765 Will would be too early, to mention John Hood's children.
John Jefferson, Probate Entry I'm seeking
John Jefferson had to be old enough to be a Master by *1763 to the 1780s and perhaps later he was an Agent, but both Hood and Jefferson were operating from Hull in the 1770s. *Possibly even several generations of John Jefferson.
Some trimmed images (top of p.7) here (John Jefferson signed under John Hood also cut off r/h page)
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=731922.msg6541301#msg6541301John Hood, Mariner didn't leave a Will and the 1819 Will at the Borthwick is not the John Hood of Selby, Mariner of interest.
But I am hoping John Jefferson (possibly retired or with ship related interests at death) left a Will, which I can purchase a scan of from the Borthwick, to see if it mentions Hood and especially any of his Children?
Thank you, Mark
