I, Robert Blomfield,

Footnotes

The Court Roll recorded that John Pooley was admitted to this land at the Court of 1665 upon the surrender of Edward Payne; however, it appears that it was not until the Court held on July 20^th 1680 that John Pooley acquired this land in Morley – upon the surrender of John Raven. There is no mention of John Pooley in the Court of November 20^th 1665. ↩︎
There is a note in the margin that John Brown was admitted to this land at the Court of [June 11^th] 1742. ↩︎
There is a note in the margin that John Brown acknowledged tenure of this land at the Court of [June 11^th] 1742. ↩︎
It has been noted in the margin that John Wright was admitted to this land at the Court of October 16^th 1752. ↩︎
