Notes

C6/36/77, 1668

This Chancery suit C6/36/77 f. 1 was brought by the London merchant Hugh Upton against Sir Martin Noell's two executors - his son, Thomas Noell, and the merchant George Robinson, who was Sir Martin Noell's former servant.^[3]

The answer C6/36/77 f. 2 by Thomas Noell and George Robinson to the Bill of Complaint provides a very detailed accounting of Sir Martin Noell's troubled estate
