Notes
The first part of this document is Egerton Cutler's widow's renunciation of the estate, presumably because his debts outweighed his assets.
Egerton Cutler came to Winslow in 1716 as vicar. According to Oxford University Alumni, he was son of Sir Thomas Cutler of Lechlade, Gloucs, born 20 July 1678, and matriculated at Queen's College 11 Dec 1696. He was chaplain to the Duke of Marlborough in Flanders, and became vicar of Elmsted, Kent, in 1708 (he left there to come to Winslow). According to Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain (1838) 4.689, he married Mary Lipton of Oxford (d.c.1710 in the Low Countries) and had a son Egerton and two daughters Maria and Anne. With his second wife Sarah, he had a son Henry(?), bap. at Winslow 12 July 1719. He was not buried at Winslow. On 2 April 1720 James Edmonds signed the parish register as vicar.
