• Notes

  Randle's father was also Randle Janney. He married Ellen Alrodd/Alredd July 14, 1602 at Wilmslow and they had children Thomas, Randle, Heline and Richard born between 1605 and 1613/14. While not much is known of Randle, Jr., a good deal of information is known about Randle, Jr.'s older brother, Thomas. Thomas was born and lived most of his life in Styall. He and his wife, Elizabeth Worthington, joined the Society of Friends a short time after it came into existence. Thomas is mentioned several times in the early annals of the Friends, and their meetings were sometimes held at his house. He suffered "distress of goods", was imprisoned and otherwise persecuted on account of his faith. Thomas, along with others, purchased and presented to the Meeting the burial ground at Mobberley. In his wil he left a legacy to the Poor of his town. He may have been the Thomas Janney who was Mayor of Stockport in 1639. His will, dated April 10, 1677, is on file at Chester; his estate amounted to L53, 19s, 10d. [Source: Carmen J. Finley, "Hackney, Harlan & Heald - Our Quaker Ancestors", (Computer printed: C. J. Finley, Santa Rosa, CA, 1987), pg. 21, 22] It does not appear that he joined Friends. Whether it was Randle's widow who married Thomas Cotley May 29, 1620, or whether she was the "Elen Jany Widdow" who was buried Jany. 13, 1644 is not now known. If Randle left a will it has been lost or destroyed, the inventory of his estate being all that is now to be found in Probate Registry. In 1601 he was one of the appraisers of his estate, and his name is given as Rondull Janyon. In 1607 he was churchwarden of Wilmslow Parish. His only daughter died in infancy, his three sons survived him, and all married and had families.
