• Notes

  Patricia Law Hatcher (citation details below) notes the existence of a demographic study of Maldon, Essex, A Prospect of Maldon, 1500-1689 by W. J. Petchey (Essex Record Office Publications, 1991), which shows that a Nicholas Moore, shoemaker, who was made a freeman of Maldon in 1560, was born in Plympton, Devon; his family and several others were referred to in town as the "immigrants." Maldon was a stronghold of Catholicism, and supported Queen Mary throughout her reign. Like many of the "immigrants," Nicholas Moore and his family were Protestants, and were reported in April 1559 for having gone "out of the town at Easter and received [communion] without any lawful authority." This is probably our Nicholas More.
