• Notes

  SOURCE: Henry Adams of Somersetshire by J. Gardner Bartlett William was rector of Charlton Mackrell, Somersetshire, as early as 1545 (as appears in the will of Rev. George Levermore, vicar of Charlton Adam, 21 Sept 1545). During the reign of "Bloody Mary" (1553-1558) , married clergy in England were ordered to divorce their wifes to conform to the Roman Catholic law of celibacy. William did not observe this order. His death was listed as "about 1567" on the evidence of the induction of John Sprynt as rector of Charlton Mackrell " made vacant by the death of the last incumbent." Children listed as "probable".
