Talk:John Obadiah Justamond

Family background
Somewhat surprisingly, this John Justamond is not the John Justamond who graduated B.A. at Clare College, Cambridge in 1756 (Venn ref JSTT752J), but his younger brother. John Justamond the elder went into the church with a living in Dorset, being son of John and Esther Justamond (, snippet view). Huguenot Wills and Administrations in England and Ireland, 1617-1849: Abstracts of Huguenot Wills and Administrations, Part 1 (, snippet view of p. 218) shows the estate of John Justamond, apothecary, administered by his two sons John and John Obadiah.

Noting that Abdias is a form of Obadiah, the brothers are identified here as Jean born 1732, and Jean Abdias born 1737. Charles Matthews (talk) 06:23, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
