According to Threlfall’s GMC50417, John Strutt “of Glemsford in Suffolk was married first to Catherine who was buried there on 18 August 1578. He married secondly 21 October 1578, Julian Scott, daughter of Richard Scott, yeoman, of Fynstead which is in the parish of Glemsford.

“John Strutt appears on the 1568 Subsidy List as taxed 6s.8d. on £5 worth of land. He was buried at Glemsford on 22 April 1591, having made his will six days before. [Does Threfall mean three days before? The will he abstracts is dated 19 April 1591. On p. 112 Threlfall gives John Strutt’s death date as 23 April 1591.] Twelve years later, an Inquisition Post Mortem into the property he held was taken. An abstract of the Inquisition also follows.

“The will of Richard Scott, dated 13 February 1577/8, named Julyan Scott and two of her brothers, Richard and George Scott, who were named in her husband’s will. Julian (Scott) Strutt married secondly at Glemsford, 30 June 1591 widower Ambrose Biggs, senior, and had a daughter who died a year later. Ambrose Biggs was buried 9 May 1621 at Glemsford.” An abstract of John Strutt’s will follows, along with an abstract of the 1603 inquisition into his estate and an abstract of Ambrose Biggs’s will.
