 ==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
 Lewis Byker, a sixty-two year old Grocer of Saint Peter Cornhill, London, deposed in the High Court of Admiralty on Jul 9th 1655. The title of the case was "Titus Complaine against John Brandlyn and others" and concerned goods shipped from London on a hoy named the ''Primerose'' to the Ipswich apothecary Titus Complaine.

-John Knight was an apprentice of Lewis Knight. Knight made an earlier deposition, dated May 20 1655, in the same case. Though made a month and a half prior to Byker's deposition, Knight's deposition is placed after Byker's own deposition in the same volume of Admiralty Court depositions. The case is the same though described in the preamble to Knight's deposition as "Titus Complaine against John Brandlin John Blomfield and Alexander Scott." Knight was examined upon a libel on the behalf of Complaine.
