» He was presented to Driffield July 10, 1625. He married 1633, Sept. 9, Jane 

 Dailos ; baptised a child in 1636, and a daughter Elizabeth May 23, 1637- He re- 

 married in August, 1643, to Ellen May, and baptised his son Richard March 26, 

 1649. In 1653, Dec. 30, he was appointed by Sir William Strickland " Register" of

 1615-6, buried Oct. 4, 1666; Valentvne son of John Pearson, bp. Oct. 10, 1619;
