Footnotes to Chapter IX
1. See Newman, op. cit., 128.
2. Fielding, 476 (where Maxfield’s incumbencies are shown as terminating
in 1604, which was the year before his death).
3. Entries in the Ightham Baptismal register, extracted in AC XIV, 236,
record the christenings of six sons and two daughters.
4. ‘Mr Thomas Maxfield & Johane Walter’ were married on 11 June
1596: Fawkham Marriage register.
5. Fielding, 324, gives Baker’s dates for Ash as 1605-42 and for Fawkham
as 1608-42 and, without saying why, expresses uncertainty as to whether
Baker was one and the same as the William Baker who was at Darenth from
1595 to 1605. His induction date for Baker at Fawkham is incorrect;
the induction mandate was dated 12 August 1597: KAO, DRb/Ai 31/1.
6. Selby MSS, T1/22: Will of Joan Maxfield, dated 24 September 1624,
proved 30 January 1625.
7. Ibid.; Joan Maxfield bequeathed £20 to ‘Dorcas Stacie’, her
brother Robert Walter’s daughter.
8. Fielding, 536; Bancks, op. cit., 88-9.
9. The brief account that follows of some Kentish facets of
the Great Rebellion owes much, save its inadequacy, to Everitt, op, cit.,
esp. the chapters therein on The Community at War, 1642-7, 186-200,
and The Community in Revolt. 1647-8, 231-70. |

10. AC XLV, 57.
11. KR I, 14.
12. Hasted (II, 474) and Fielding (20, 488) credit Ash (by Wrotham) with
Noakes and are agreed that he was ejected under the Bartholomew Act;
Fielding gives his dates as 1642-60 and cites Calamy’s Life of Baxter.
In the light of the registers, there is no credible presence for Noakes at
this Ash, but J.R. Planche, A Corner of Kent (1864), 251, shows him
as incumbent at Ash-next- Sandwich from 1659 to 1660.
13. Hasted II, 474.
14. KR I,14.
15. Fielding, 322; Hasted II, 474.
16. AC XIV, 227. In his will, Edmund Hodsoll described as his three
nephews ‘Samuel Atwood, clerke, John Hodsoll of South Ash, gent., and
William Hodsoll, goldsmith, brother of the said John Hodsoll’. Edmund
was the third son of William Hodsoll of South Ash (William IIIi), being
born of that William’s second marriage. The Hodsoll brothers who
benefited under his will must in fact have been great-nephews of the half-blood,
being grandchildren of Edmund’s half-brother, Captain John Hodsoll of
South Ash (John I). Maybe Samuel Atwood senior had married one of their
aunts. |
