Notes for THOMAS RATHBONE:

Thomas was a shoemaker in the hamlet of Hough Green, in Ditton Township about two miles from Farnworth Chapel. His will probated in February of 1653/54.  It mentioned his "new house", a "garden and stockyard" and "two cows, one heifer, one little calf and one mare." The estate inventory mentioned his shop containing "shoes, leather and things belonging to a shoemaker."   It also included a corn car, a vegetable cart, a plow, plow parts, a harrow and extra wheels and rims>'  It lists a corn and hay for his livestock, a quantity of hemp and a "brake"  which is used in beating hemp into useable fiber, a pitchfork,  and a ladder.    His total assets at his death were 29 pounds thirteen shillings and two pence. It also mentions "money due by bonds and other ways"-five pounds 16 shillings.  At the time that Thomas lived English law required that every new cottage have at least four acres of land.  No doubt, Thomas had those acres where he farmed. Thomas, Grace, John, Mary and Ailces were named in the will.

The family was Anglicans.
