DORSET TRADE TOKENS. loj 



EVERSHOT. 



88. O. John Ffisher, 1658 = The Mercers' Arms. 

 R. of Evershot. mercer = I.E. 



This member of an old Evershot family was assessed in 

 respect of land there in 16 Charles I., and in 1664 his hearths 

 were stated to be four in number. 



FRAMPTON. 



89. O. John Maynard, mercer = His halfe peny. 



R. of Frampton. 1667. = I.M. with a flower between 



the letters. 



I venture to think that the editor of Boyne was wrong in 

 assigning this token to Frampton in Dorset, where the surname 

 is not to be found in any records whether parochial, testamentary, 

 or exchequer. The register of- Frampton on Severn, Gloucester, 

 contains the baptism of a John Maynard in 1634 and his burial 

 in 1671 ; the same person was married in 1659, at the neigh- 

 bouring church of Cam, to Anna Trotman, who was buried at 

 Frampton on Severn a few months after her husband. I fear, 

 therefore, that we must part company with John Maynard as a 

 Dorset tokener.
