In 1587 Matthew Webster, John III's son and heir, married, and his father settled one third of his farm on the young couple, with the remainder to come to them and their issue after his death. John would, of course, give them cattle, sheep and implements at the same time; this should be remembered when considering John's will. Matthew and his father were probably partners before the marriage, for in 1586 they both paid 1s. 4d. for the tax called "the fifteene." Matthew Webster died in 1592, leaving a widow, one son and two daughters. His will appears to have been made hurriedly, but it was witnessed by his father-in-law, the squire and the parson. John Webster III died two years later.
