The most singular entry in these Registers is what amounts to 
the enrollment of a marriage settlement. How it came to be 
entered among the Registers is a mystery; probably the clerk 
received payment, but it appears to be quite a unique case; viz. : 
Robert Harrye and Annys Odyorne widowe, were maried the 28t» day of 
January 1612, and yt day were p’esented by the said Robert unto the 
children of the said Annys ten sev’rall bills of debt for paymt of money as 
was agreed of in consederation of the said marryage. The bills beare date 
the xxviitt of January. 
Tt would have been interesting if the amount of the bills had 
been added, which it may be presumed were one for each child. 
Unfortunately the Baptismal Registers, which should contain the 
names of the children of the “said Annys” are wanting, nor is her 
first marriage to be found. A Joan, Margery, Amos, and John 
Odyorne were baptized respectively in 1609, 1610, 1611, 1612, 
but from the loss of their registers it is impossible to say if they 
were her children. 
There are several instances in this Register of the entry of a 
marriage that had taken place in’ another church; that of the
