Joan Shakespeare
Joan Shakespeare (baptised 15 April 1569 – buried 4 November 1646) was the sister of William Shakespeare. She is the only member of the family whose known descendants continue down to the present day.
==Life==
Joan was Shakespeare's younger sister, named after her parents' deceased first-born child. She married a hatter named William Hart with whom she had four children, William (1600–39), Mary (1603–07), Thomas (1605–61), and Michael (1608–18).
Little is known about Joan's husband, William, apart from the fact that he was sued for debt in 1600 and 1601.〔Campbell, O.J. (ed), ''A Shakespeare Encyclopaedia'', Taylor and Francis, 1966, p.305.〕 He died in April 1616, and was buried 17 April, a week before William Shakespeare died. In his will her brother left her a legacy of £20, some clothing, and granted her the right to live in the western part of the double family house on Henley Street in Stratford for a nominal yearly rent of one shilling. She continued to reside there for the remainder of her life, dying at the age of 77.〔Schoenbaum, S. (1977) ''William Shakespeare: A Compact Documentary Life''. Oxford: Oxford UP, ISBN 0-19-502433-8, pp. 27–28, 299.〕
Her son William never married. Her other descendants via Thomas lived in Stratford until 1806. Thomas inherited the Henley Street house known as Shakespeare's Birthplace.〔 He had many descendants. By the 18th century Joan's descendants were identifying themselves as carrying the poet's family line. John Hart (1755–1800) was identified as "the 6th descendant of the poet Shakespeare" on his gravestone in Tewkesbury Abbey Churchyard, Gloucestershire.
