Finding
Credit tie to Rev. Thomas Jenner, Weymouth's minister
In 1644, John Gurney and Thomas Lake held claims totaling £5 against Rev. Thomas Jenner, the former Weymouth minister. The record does not say when, where, or why John's claim began.
Date: documented 30 October 1644 (Jenner's Weymouth ministry 1636-1640)
Why this conclusion
- Analyzed by Analysis When the Jenner debt may have begunSeparates the 1644 Jenner claim from the limited inference about when the debt may have begun.
- Supported by Evidence MBCR 2:79 - 1644 £5 'Mr Ginner' bill (Gurny + Lake)The 1644 colony bill is the evidence for the Jenner credit tie.
