John Archer (son of John Archer and Mary Holmes) was born Bef. 1790, and died 1813 in Chesham, Bucks.
Notes for John Archer: I am assuming that a person who wrote a Will by the name of "John Archer Junior" naming as sole beneficiary his father, "John Archer Senior" was a son of the John Archer who is clearly part of the Family Tree. In view of the fact that the will was probated at exactly the same time as that of Rebecca Archer, who was certainly John's daughter, it does suggest a relationship. I have no evidence concerning "John Archer Junior" other than the Will. Here is the text of the Will:
In the name of God. Amen
I, John Archer the Younger, of Chesham in the County of Bucks, Shoemaker, being of perfect mind and memory, do make this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following, that is to say that I give, devise and bequeath to my beloved father, John Archer the Elder of Chesham aforesaid, Baker, all my Goods, Money, Bills, Bonds, Notes of Hand, Legacies and Book Debts, and also all my wearing apparel of any description, together with all other properties of what kind or nature soever they may be to me any way appertaining at the Time of my Decease.
