Notes for Joane HOLYOKE
• Surname has also been spelled as “Holliocke, Holliock, Holiocke, Holiock or Holyocke,” During this period of time, before about the late 1600’s, many writers relied on the spoken phonetic / pronunciation because literacy rate of most people of the time was quite low.
• The surname HOLYOKE and all of its variant forms seem to be derived from the holy oak, or gospel oak, an archaic term for a boundary tree. In Anglo-Saxon it is ““hálig āc” (Holy Oak)
• First name has also been spelled as “Joane” and in some cases “Jane”
• Mentioned in her uncle Edward’s will.
