"Simple Latin for Family Historians" by Eve McLaughlin ...
pub. by Federation of Family History Societies in the UK.
"Johes" is the clerk's short form of "Johannes" which is Latin for "John".
If we see "Johis" this is short for the possessive form "Johannis" as in:
"Johannes filius Johannis Smith", short form "Johes fil Johis Smith",
translates as "John son of John Smith".
Name: Johannis, genitive form of Johannes.
