Individual Note
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

the restoration of Charles II. hewas deprived of his "Living",
and retired to Melksham, where he died.1
