Footnotes
- There is no mention in the Court of April 1606 of the Newmans having completed any property transaction. There is reference in the Court of September 1618 to Robert Newman being distrained by the Bailiff but the definition of the property is too vague to identify whether it is the same land as that mentioned here. ↩︎
