• Notes

  Mayor of Barnstaple, Devon, in 1602. He was a merchant. Richardson ("The English Origin of Agnes Harris," citation details below) notes that before 1599, all parish records referring to him lack the honorific "Mr.", whereas from 1599 onward, "Mr." and "Mrs." are applied to him and his wife with total consistency.
