What it says
Known from the archive catalogue: at Compton Dando in March 1592/3, William Hollbrooke and Thomas Horsington were overseers and administrators of the will of William Horsington the elder, and paid for the guardianship of a Horsington boy. That boy is the “cousin and godson” William Horsington the younger of Edith Holbrooke’s will, made four months earlier. The record places a William Holbrooke at Compton Dando in 1593.
