Notes
Christen
May 6th John Laull Son to John Gentle Taylor and Agnes Ward was Baptised witnesses William Burn Weaver and Daniel Young Shoemaker. Born May 3dMarriage
There is an old regulation of the Merchants' and Trades' Houses regarding apprentices, 'to move them to take their master's daughter in marriage before any other, which will be a great comfort and support to freemen' of which regulation, no doubt, apprentices were willing enough to avail themselves. As if the charms of the lady were not sufficient inducement, the lucky apprentice son-in-law was admitted burgess at a reduced rate.
