Notes

Executor and residuary legatee of his father’s will (1625). “Of Edgersly in Glastonbury” in the subsidy of 1628-1629 (Davis 1945). His daughter Mary was baptised at St John’s on 28 Jan 1629/30 (Weaver 1928); Lord prints “29 June 1629/30,” which cannot be right as written.

Open questions

  • Was he the husband of the widow Cecily (or Sybil) Holbrooke, who was in Chancery over property in Glastonbury and Backwell in 1647-1654? Untested.
