Fletcher, William, of Mockerkin in Loweswater (-1688)


See this link in the original post

Son and heir of Thomas Fletcher of Mockerkin.

Literate. He signed his will.

 

Married Ann, daughter of John Tiffin of Mockerkin. Ann was a Quaker though William wasn't convinced.

They had four sons (Lancelot, Joseph, Peter, Thomas) and three daughters (Janet, wife of Richard Fletcher of Brigham; Mary, wife of John Robinson of Hill in Brigham; and Ann Watson). Their children were brought up as Quakers. Lancelot remained in Mockerkin. Peter became a tanner in Dublin.

Thomas was still alive when Peter Fletcher of Dublin died in 1698. Their sister Jane Fletcher was by then a widow. There is no mention of Joseph so he was presumably dead by then.
