Curious names of a Jury, at Huntingdon in 1619 A.D.

[Travels.]

It is not thought improper to add now a copy of a Jury taken before Judge DODRIGE, at the Assizes holden at Huntingdon, July 1619; which was lately presented me by a worthy friend of mine: which is the more remarkable because the surnames of some inhabitants of this county, annexed to the towns or villages to which they belonged; seem to make them at the first sight, persons of very great renown and quality.
