According to Nan West, John Overton was the owner of Overton Hall, a large estate in Easington. He was a Justice of the Peace and a person of importance in his locality. He was a staunch Royalist in the Civil Wars, and it was said that King Charles II slept in his home. But his eldest son, Colonel Robert Overton, took the side of the Parliament, being one of the few men in Holderness who took this position. A monument, erected by Robert Overton to the memory of his parents still exists in the southeast corner of Easington Church.
LAST WILL and TESTAMENT:
John Overton wrote his will on July 20, 1648, with a Codicil dating to September 20, 1650, naming John and Robert Overton, both sons of his own son Colonel Robert Overton. He also named his brother William Overton; however, he made no mention of William who was one of Robert's children.
