Talk:John Wing (1584-1630)

It is assumed Rev. John Wing died in (or near) London, England based on the fact his will (dated 2 Nov 1629) states he was then a resident of St Mary Aldermary, London.

It is possible he may never have moved back to England, but died in The Netherlands. King Charles was even more intolerant of the Puritans (and other religious dissidents) than his father, James. English Puritans living on the European Continent were afraid Charles may try to seize their property in England. It is possible Rev. John had an English will drawn to ensure his English property passed along to his family, rather than being seized by the Crown upon his death.
