And then appeared Wm Jackson curate of St. Michaell's aforesaid and testified of his owne knowl This is our Robert Kayne of Boston. Col. Chester has entered the name as Cokayne and makes a note: "The commencement of his name eaten away but the 'Kayne' distinct." I examined it closely and was assisted in the examination by Our associate Mr. Frank F. Starr. We both agreed that Kayne was the entire name; there was a wormhole just before it, but not the slightest traces of any writing; nor was there quite room enough for another syllable; and the first letter of the name was a great K, such as would naturally begin the name. Moreover the parish registers of St. Michael Cornhill, published by the Harleian Society, confirm all this, as the following extracts will show: CHRISTENED. 1618, May 14, Benjamin Kaine, son of Robt and Ann Kaine. 1622, May 9, Joseph, son of Robart and An Keayne. 1624, Oct. 18, John, son of Robart Keayne and Ann his wife.

He was one of the founders of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company and died 23 March, 1656. His widow was married, 16 Oct., 1660, to Samuel Cole. For notices of the Keayne family see N. E. Hist. Gen Reg., vol. VI, pp. 89-92, 152-8; XXV, 277. See also my Gleanings, Part I, pp. 1, 2, 55; Part II, pp. 152, 153. H. F. W. Since the above was put in type I have received from Capt. Albert A.

H. F. WATERS, ESQ. DEAR SIR: 97 APPLETON ST. BOSTON, MASS. Herewith I send you record of Robert Keayne in Merchant Tailors' Co. Yours, A. A. FOLSOM. MERCHANT TAYLORS' COMPANY. Apprentice Book. Robert Keyne, son of John Keyne, of Windsor, in the County of Berks, Butcher, bound himself apprentice to John Heyfield, of Birchin Lane, for 8 years, from 9 March, 1606-4 James I. Freeman's Book. Robert Keyne, admitted to the Freedom of the Company by servitude to John Heyfield on 17 April, 1615 - 13 James I. I certify that the above are true extracts from the books of the Merchant Tailors' Company. Merchant Tailors' Hall, London, E. C, 6 Dec. 1881. F. G. FAITHFULL, Clerk, Aug. 5 1617 deceased a year and a half since; at St. Botolph's without Algate.

Peter Molbone of St. Dunstan's, bachelor, aged 31, Aug. 19 and Prudence Stone of St. Andrew's Holborn, widow of Symon Stone, late of the same parish, gent, deceased three years since, she upwards of 33 years old. [Against this, on the margin, was written "vacat."] 1 See Convers Wills in my Gleanings, Part III, p. 237. H. F. W. I have numerous wills relating to the Stoughton family. Colonel Chester's extract not only omits the ages of the parties and the fact that Mr. Bury was a bach elor, but leaves out entirely the clause which shows that the maiden was a sister of Nathaniel Stoughton, the goldsmith of London, and that her mother was still living. The new facts enable us to fix the family to which she belonged as living in Guilford, Surrey, not Walford, as in my extract, or Watford, as Colonel Chester has it. For their pedigree see Visitation of London, 1633-4. H. F. W. Aug. 20 1617 Robert Leeson1 of St. Martin's in the Fields, Middlesex, "putherer," a bachelor aged about 26, and Mary Chamberlain of St. Mary Islington, Middlesex, spinster, aged about 22, daughter of Matthew Chamberlaine, late of St. Mary Aldermanbury, innkeeper, deceased; Richard Sadler of St. Austen's, London, merchant tailor, appeared and testifieth that John Waterworth of Islington, innkeeper, being father in law unto the said Mary, in whose tuition and government she now remaineth, is willing and consenting; at St. James Clerkenwell.
