I/O APPENDIX C. CAPTAIN JOSHUA DOWNING

a purser. On the 2nd March, 1629, his will', dated 1st January
of the same year, was proved. He left his son and namesake as
his executor, and a daughter, Martha, was also a legatee. In the
will, complaint is made of "the great charge" Downing had
sustained on behalf of his nephews Henry and Jasper, sons of
his "sister Scroles." The last reference to Downing is in 1630,
when " Captain Phineas Pett requested to have the lodgings at
Chatham formerly enjoyed by Captain Downing."
