• Notes

  22 August 2018 He was mentioned in the will of his sister, Esther Huntington, dated 16 July 1705 (digital copy obtained 9 June 2017), which was proved in the Peculiar Probate Court of Howdenshire, October 1709. In her will, she referred to "my sister Anne Bacchus Spinster and my nephews John Bacchus son of my brother Mr. George Bacchus & William Bacchus son of my brother Mr. Mordecai Bacchus." Hull Heritage Centre catalogue, C DDEY/26: Lease - Cottingham Southwood (25 March 1675) "Anne Bacchus of Hull, spinster and Ester Bacchus, spinster to Mordecai Bacchus of Beverley, gentleman, two closes called ''Greate East Hagg'' and ''Little East Hagg'' in Cottingham Southwood." 1 item He is identified as "Mordeca: S: of Mr. John Bachous" who was baptized 28 November, 1646, at Holy Trinity, Hull. Esther is therefore inferred to be identical to "Hester D. of Mr. John Backhouse" who was baptized 20 November, 1647, also at Holy Trinity, Hull. They were children of the marriage of John Bacchus and Jane Jefferson, which was solemnized 19 February, 1628/29, at Holy Trinity, Hull.
