1. "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," 86(1955):132-148, 209-221, "The Feake Family of Norfolk, London, and Colonial America," by George E. McCracken:
"10. Simon Feake, second son of James Feake of Wighton (no. 7) by wife Agnes, appears in his father's will in 1539, and, though without his father's name, stands at the head of the 1634 pedigree as Simon Feake of Kerdeston, while in the 1664 pedigree his father's name is given as James Feake of Wighton. In the will of his brother William in 1595 he is mentioned as having children then living. Although Simon is not specifically said to be dead, there is nothing to prove he is not, and if no error has been made in putting the family together, he is the Simon Feake of Kettleston, co. Norfolk, tanner, whose undated will was probated June 12, 1570 (Consistory Court of Norwich: 42 [Brygge]. He mentions wife Alice; leaves £10 to son John Feake, and to any one of the rest of his children xxvi s viii d. This sum is one-third of four pounds, so the other children were probably three in number, for this man died in early life. In the will of his brother William the children of Simon are each left £3/6/8, unless they had already received this sum, and since this is precisely one-third of ten pounds, we think it probable that Simon had four children in all, of whom one may have died before 1595. Property in Wesingsett, Walsingham, Sherington, and Holte, all in Norfolk, is bequeathed. The children would all seem to have been minors, as brother Robert is named executor. Children: 4:
17. i. John.
18. ii. (poss.) Mary, m. Thomas Gibbons, at St. James's Clerkenwell, Dec. 2, 1593. As she was not daughter of Simon's brothers William, Edmond or James, we put her here.
19. iii. (poss.) Henry, matriculated pensioner from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Lent 1584/5; was then of Norfolk; migrated to Caius; B.A. 1588/9; ordained priest at Norwich, Jan. 1, 1595/6, rector of Warham St. Mary and St. Margaret, Norfolk (Venn and Venn, "Alumni Cantabrigienses, Part I, 2:128). We know nothing of his subsequent history and place him here because his putative brother named a son Henry. He may have been father of a Henry Feekes who m. Alice Foorde, July 30, 1620, at St. James's, Clerkenwell, and was buried there as Henry Feakes, householder, Dec. 2, 1622. Katherine, daughter of this couple, was baptized Nov. 10, 1622, buried Aug. 29, 1623, same parish.
20. iv. Another, d. before 1595."
