  • Notes 
    • was Rector of St. Edmund's Salisbury. As his family were
      politically involved with the Parliamentarian Party, so his
      religious feelings were naturally with the Independents. He was
      a Commissioner for Wilts, for the ejection of such that were
      called,"scandalous and ignorant and insufficient ministers". On
      the restoration of Charles II. he was deprived of his "Living",
      and retired to Melksham, where he died. [1]
