     He left a will on 3 Mar 1467. The will was probated 2 Oct 1468 [i. e. 7 months later]. In this wll he requested to be buried in the church of Stratford to which he gave xxv marks to the making of the aisle. "And I will that the wyndowe at the Ant [end] of the Ile be made aftre the tenorus[?] I and Cristyn and Cicely my wifs be settle in the same wyndowe". This will named his son William and his daughter Cicely. "John's will reveals that his wife had a daughter, that he had a sister, with children, a nephew named Thomas, and a cousin named Simon. None of these have been further identified." The will names some property in Stoke [Stoke near Nayland, about five miles northwest of Stratford].

"In his will, proved 10 Oct 1542 he gave his Erwarton properties, 'Brownes Marlars & Sparhawkes," to his son William. If William were to die without heirs they would go to son Philip. This apparently happened, because Philip bequeathed them in in his 1587/8 will. These had been earlier bequeathed in his grandfather William Smyth's 1492 will. John's will names his wife Anne; mother Margaret Smyth, widow; and young children William, Philip, Margaret, Anne and Joan. The extant parish registers of Erwarton begin in the 1550s, thus little has been learned about John's wife and children>'
