      1. Krysten is mentioned in her husband's will per the book "Descendants of Joseph Loomis in America," by Elias Loomis; 3rd edition published by Elisha S. Loomis, Berea, Ohio, 1908, pp. 83-93:
      The will of "John Lummys, grandfather of Joseph, the emigrant:
      'Commissary Court of London (Essex and Herts), Somerset House, London:
      In the name of god amé. The xix daye off februare in the yeare off owr lord god M.CCCCC threescore & syx I John lomesse off thaxsted in ye Cowntey off Essex Carpenter beying off pfecte & hole off mynde thanke be gevyn to allmyghty god, do make thys my last wyll & testament in maner & forme foloying that ys to saye, Fyrst I bequeve my sowle into the hands off allmyghty god my maker & redeemer & my body to be buryed in the churche yare off thaxted aforesayed, Item I geve unto the poremés box there iiij Itm I geve & bequeth unto kyrstyne my wyfe my howse wth a garden plotte ther unto belonging durying her naturall lyfe and affter her decese, I will the sayed howse wthye garden to be solde & equalli to be devyded amonge all my chyldre & yff any off the dye I wyll that pey wch shall remayn to haue yt a monge them, Itm I geve unto my wyfe all my dett & movablys whatsoever they be out off the w'ch Iwyll she shall paye to every on off my chyldren xiij's iiij'd in fyve years begynnyg at the eldeste fryst & so forthe unto ye last.

      ...As an apparent freeholder of both house and land, John Lummys, or Lomess, the grandfather of the emigrant stood very well in his native town of Thaxted; but he died young, seemingly under forty. As has been seen, his will did not name any of his children, possibly because they were so young.
      John 'Lomesse' must have been a man of few words, unless much indisposed when he sent for Robert Parker to write his will. Houses with or without 'garden plotts,' in his time, were known by names instead of numbers. Of but few citizens could it be said that they owned house and land. The great majority of houses and the most of the land was manorial and Crown property in Thaxted, as elsewhere, and obtainable only upon lease or rental. John Lummys was thus singularly indipendent. His property must have been sold as his will directs, if not before, for the family had all dispppeared from Thaxted records by about 1600. If we knew how many children were in the family, how many grew up and married, and where they went from Thaxted, then we might answer some queries now not answered. But the veil is drawn, and we probably shall never know."

      'Unto my sister christianx' - these words in this will we take to refer to her widowed own sister, Christiance or Christine ('Kyrsten') the wife named in the 1567 will of John Lomesse of Thaxted, the grandfather of the emigrant to America, Joseph Loomis..."

      "JOSEPH1 LOOMIS (JOHNA LUMACE, JOHNB LUMMYS, THOMASC) was born by 1590, perhaps in Braintree, county Lincoln, England, and died 25 November 1658 at Windsor, CT. He was the son of JOHNA LUMACE, a tailor of Thaxted and Braintree and AGNESA LINGWOOD and JANE MARLAN?, daughter of WILLIAMB and MARGARETA (PERYE) MARLAN? of Braintree.
