Notes

The items in the inventory add up to £16 2s 2d. Evidently the name Hogson sounded like Oakson to the officials at St Albans.

There was a King's Bench lawsuit involving William Hogson and his mortgaged property in 1664.

William Hogson's burial is not recorded at Winslow (most of the records for 1665/6 are missing). A William Hogson was bap. 12 Sep 1607 (name of father missing) and married Marjory Plesteed on 21 Nov 1631. See the will of Marjory's mother Ursula Pleasted (1659) for details of their family. Marjory died in 1654, and William's wife at the time of his death according to the 1665 court roll was called Catherine.

National Archives, ASSI 16/18/2

On 27 July 1669, William Hogson of Winslow victualler was bound in £10 before Thomas Stafford JP to appear at the next gaol delivery to give evidence against Henry Parckeson and Elizabeth his wife now in the gaol at Aylesbury concerning certain felonious acts committed by them. The Parckesons were accused of robbing a house, and other witnesses were from Bletchley.

This William Hogson was presumably the son of the William above, b.1640.
