H.C.A. 13/54 (1638-39) 1069. 20 April 1638. Deposition of Benjamin Whetcombe of the parish of St. Mary, Woolchurch, London, merchant, aged about 29. As for 1060. It appears by an account now in this deponent’s hands that his brother, Tristram Whetcombe, who lives at Kinsale, laded 32,000 pipestaves in the WILLIAM and ROSE for Thomas Northey of London, merchant. And the said Northey is a partner in trade in many things with the said Edwards. And by another account it appears that Tristram Whetcombe had provided 50,000 pipestaves for Northey. But they ship could not take in any more than 32,000 staves, so that there are 18,000 pipestaves remaining in the hands of Tristram Whetcombe in Ireland. [ff. 66v-7] H.C.A. 13/54 (1638-39) 1072. 21 June 1638. Deposition of Valentine MUMFORD of Ratcliffe, Middlesex, mariner, aged about 39. As for 1006. This deponent was gunner aboard the JOHN and DOROTHY.[f. 165v (166v)] 1073. 21 June 1638. Deposition of Thomas Burley of Ratcliffe, Surrey, mariner, aged about 52. As for 1006.[f. 166 (167)] H.C.A. 13/56 (1640-41) 1165. 10 September 1640. Deposition of Thomas BURLEY of Redriff, Surrey, mariner, aged about 50. As for 1006. Within the time articulate George PAYNE was owner of the JOHN and DOROTHY. And this examinate was master of the ship when she was sold at Galway to the assigns of the said PAYNE. This respondent bought the ship at Galway for PAYNE, for £260. And as the ship was bound for London she came aground and broke in pieces near the Isle of Wight. [ff. 223v-4] H.C.A. 13/239 1381. 3 November 1636. (Galway). William Linch, Thomas Lynch, and George Martin to Thomas Wyan, deputy registrar of the high court of admiralty. As for 1006. They have received a commission granted out of the court, dated 18 June 1636, upon the petition of Thomas BURLEY and others, mariners of the JOHN and DOROTHY of London, to appraise and sell the ship. And they appraised the ship at £380. But the ship was sold to the largest bid for £265, which was the most that could be got for the same. And Thomas BURLEY bought the ship on behalf of George PAYNE of London, merchant. With commission to appraise and sell the ship, dated 18 June 1636, and inventory and appraisement of the ship, dated 7 September 1636. 1 http://www.histparl.ac.uk/prnslpp/shealey.htm 2 Through correspondence with Dr. Andrew Thrush, Section Editor 1604-1629, I was put in touch with Mr. Healy and provided with an advance copy of the initial biographical sketch that he has prepared for Sir Robert Payne. I have had several e-mail discussions with him since that time. The 1604-1629 section of “The History of Parliament” is due for publication, at last word, in 2009. 3 Public Record Office (PRO), catalogue reference: PROB 11/140; image reference: 278 4 2 Kings 20:1 5 The will was rendered faithfully to the best of my ability with spelling intact.
