of Crawshawbooth
Died in April 1606.
Will proved in 1606.In his will of 1606 George describes himself as 'aliter Barnes'revealing the name of his mother.
George made over the bulk of his land to his legitimate children bysurrendering it to feoffees, James Piccop and Hugh Haworth in 1593.
The names of these feoffees would imply that the mother of hischildren was either a Piccop or a Haworth.
Through them he made arrangements, given in the Court Roll, for theusual quarter of his land to go to his wife Ann for life and theincome from the other three quarters to be devoted to the upbringingof his children for 13 years, i.e. until they all became of age.
Then it had to go to his heir, Oliver.In 1593 George was acting as a feoffee for Oliver Ashworth ofConstablee who surrendered one third of his estate, of total yearlyrent 19/- for the endowment of the dower of Ann Ormerod - who wasclearly George (4Cb1)'s daughter - on her marriage to John, son andheir of Oliver Ashworth.
George had an illegitimate daughter, Isabel Ormerod aliter Piccop, towhom he left a legacy.
George appears to have been a farmer ploughing with oxen because heensured that his heir, Oliver, should have "all my oxen geare and allthings belonging therewith to the draught and labour of oxen".
