No Stevens or Stephens was assessed for Bushton in the roll 

 {—j-) for the later subsidy of 23 Eliz. (1581). According to these 

 rolls the inhabitants of Bushton were : — 



1576. Henry Quintyn and John Olyver (landowners): Thomas 



Haywarde, John and William Heywarde, Thomas Lanfilde, John 



Hardinge, Thomas Stephens, John Cooles.

Haywarde, John Heywarde, Eobert Spackman, Thomas Lanfield, 



John Felpes, George Bronson, John Hardinge. 



I may add that the inhabitants of Clyffe Pypard mentioned in 

 the roll of 1576 are : — 



Edmund Peek and John Hooper (landowners) : Thomas Lewen, 

 William Granger, Eichard Hayward, John Graunger, John Peers, 

 Wm. Colman, Wm. Garlike, Henry Spaynsweke, Wm. Holoway, 

 Eoger Goddard, Anthony Goddard, George Lane, John Eeve. 



The Eev. E. H. Goddard informs me that the earliest occurrences 

 of the name Stevens in- the Clyffe Pypard registers are contained in 

 the following entries : — 



" Thomas Stevens and Grace Spackman were married upon ye ix th day 

 of August 1583." 



" William (?) and Suzanna Stevens were married uppon ye xvi th day of 



September 1605." 



"Philip Seeve (?) and Mary Steevens were married uppon ye xviii th day 

 of October. 1606."
