Coddington Lead

In the NEHGR April 1882, there is an article about William Coddington, Resistance by him and others in Lincolnshire to the royal loan 1626-27 communicated by David King, M.D. of Newport RI.

William Coddington was the governor of Rhode Island. In 1674 he narrated some particulars of his life. Speaking of his early days in 1627 in Boston, Lincolnshire, England, he says he was one of the Lincolnshire Gentlemen who denied the Royal loan under King Charles I, this was ten years before the trial of Hampden. One of the names mentioned in this article is James Rollins.

“James Rollins of Pinchbeck (gardian for the heires of Nicholas Gaunte) refuseth to lend, or enter bond.”

Thinking that this might be a lead to our James Rollins I sought for information on Nicholas Gaunte. He was born 4 April, 1561 in Pemcheck Parish, Lincolnshire, England, he died 27 July 1571. This would have made our James a contemporary of the James mentioned by Coddington.

So I began searching the Pinchbeck records:

Parish register extracts fro the parish church of Pinchbeck (Lincoln), 1560-1701
Church of England, Parish Church of Pinchbeck (Lincolnshire) (Main Author)
I couldn’t find anything on this microfilm, however, I am not very good at reading these types of records, nor is it very legible. It might bear further scrutiny.

Bishop’s transcripts, 1562-1856

I couldn’t find anything on this microfilm, however, I am not very good at reading these types of records, nor is it very legible. It might bear further scrutiny.

Nothing here that I could see, again many years missing. However, there is a book of these extractions. I’ll look through it next time I’m in the library to see if they caught something I missed. Which is highly likely.

Book to look up next time I’m in SLC.
