Notes

Possible primary sources

1. ↑ It is possible, though speculative, that the witness William Johnson was Sir George Oxenden's man servant. Sir Henry Oxenden refers to sending "Johnson" from London to find an East India ship to carry his letter bearing news of Elizabeth Dallison's death to Sir George Oxenden in Surat. See 18th March 1665/66, Letter from Sir Henry Oxinden to Sir GO, Corner (London). In a further letter dated January 9th 1666/67 Sir Henry concludes with a postscriptum: "I have taken yo:e old sarvant Johnson till yo:w come home, hee Presents his humble duty to yo:w". See 9th January 1666/67, Letter from Henry Oxinden to Sir GO, Deane
