Son Thomas, born 1420? and died in 1478. He married Alice (Duke) and they had a son George who married Maud Bardolph. Their residence is Hide Hall in Hertsfordshire County. George Josselyn and Maud Bardolph had 4 children; Ralph, Elizabeth, Phillip and John. (There is an LDS entry that says they had 3 children; Jane, Anne, and Thomas. I believe that this is in error and should actually reflect the children of son John.) George and Mauds son John carried the title Sir Knight and 1st married Cicely Molineaux and had 2 children Phillip and Nicholas. John married 2nd Phippa Bradbury and they had 3 children; Jane, Anne, and Thomas. Thomas, born in 1506 and also carried the title Sir Knight, married Dorothy Gates and they had 8 children. Thomas son Richard, born abt 1526, married Anne Lucas and they had 10 children. Richards son John, born abt 1573, married Elizabeth Wiseman and they had 5 children, including a Thomas, born abt 1604. A later son of Thomas was Edward, born about 1548, died August 15, 1627, and married Mary Lambee.

 

Son Nathaniel, born abt 1425 is a guess from clues found in LDS. We do not know whom he married, but he did have a son named Thomas, born about 1455 at Hide Hall and likely died after 1509. Therefore, he is in the same Hertsfordshire county area as many of the rest of the family. The St. Michael parish records include an accounting of expenses and receipts relating to the establishment and endowment of the Chantry of St. John the Baptist in the second year of King Richard III. That places this in the year of 1485. Unfortunately the page is torn and the entry is incomplete. What can be read says, Item pd in expens on Shroffe Munday the ffirst yere of[torn]at Westmester[torn]Mr. Philpot, Mr. Josselyn[torn]at Chelmysford to bring theiss[torn]. That by itself does not offer much, but the first year phrase likely refers to the beginning of King Richard IIIs reign and Chelmsford is a known residence for our Josselyn family. The next chronological entry to be found is a note that Thomas Josselyn is a Churchwarden for the years 1498 and 1509. Also found is a payment to Thomas Josselyn for his assistance in painting the tabernacle. There are no other mentions for Thomas after this point.

 

Next we have numerous mentions for what I believe to be Thomas son, John Josselyn, estimated to have been born about 1480 and died before 1530. However, it could also be Thomas brother, who was born abt 1468 and died July 14, 1525. The brother Thomas married Cicely Molineaux. The parish records range from Johns assisting with a widows rent in 1517, selling timber to the church in 1519, being a Churchwarden from 1518 1519, then to be gyder and ruler of the Common light in 1520. The record culminates with the church receiving a payment of rent in the 21st year of the reign of Henry VIII (1530) from a William Boyington for his tenement in Hokerell late of John Josselyn.

 

Other St. Michael parish records include a note in 1549 of a young Josselyn for playing the organ; A John Josselyn as an Overseer in 1657; and a 1692 Grocer, Samuel Jocelyne who was appointed a Trustee of charities belonging to the church and Poor of Stortford.

 

Another side of the family with Ralph Josselyn have a presence in the Bishop Stortford area.
