<strong>The</strong> Autobiography <strong>of</strong> <strong>Archbishop</strong> Thomas Seeker<br />
John Seeker: for a letter to him from George III in 1782 on waste at<br />
court, seeJ.M. Beattie, <strong>The</strong> English Court in the Reign <strong>of</strong> George I (London,<br />
1967), p. 97.<br />
Newcourt's Repertorium: Repertorium Ecclesiasticum Parochiale Loudinense,<br />
published in 1710 in two volumes, <strong>of</strong> which the first dealt with<br />
London, and the second with Essex. Richard Newcourt the younger (d.<br />
1716) announced himself as having been for some twenty-seven years<br />
principal registrary <strong>of</strong> the diocese <strong>of</strong> London.<br />
FOLIO 2A (1693)<br />
Richard Milnes (1663-1745), <strong>of</strong> an old established Chesterfield family<br />
was the son <strong>of</strong> Richard Milnes, alderman and merchant who died in<br />
1706. He married Elizabeth Seeker by licence granted 19 April, 1697<br />
[T.M. Blagg and RA. Wadsworth, Abstracts <strong>of</strong> Nottinghamshire Marriage<br />
Licences (London, 1930), I, p. 497]. Elizabeth died in November 1719.<br />
Gervase Disney (1641?-1691), who was born in Swinderby, Lincolnshire,<br />
gives in this book an account <strong>of</strong> his conversion under the<br />
influence <strong>of</strong> two dissenting ministers in the city <strong>of</strong> London, Brookes and<br />
Flavel. He went to London to be apprenticed to a cousin, Martin<br />
Oglethorpe, silkman. <strong>The</strong> book was apparently written in 1690.<br />
George Brough: I have found no further information relating to him.<br />
Abigail Brough, whose marriage licence was dated 1 December, 1688,<br />
was married at Shelton on the 18th <strong>of</strong> the same month [Burke, Landed<br />
Gentry (London, 1952)].<br />
Abigail-Anna: Abigail-Anna Frost, born Seeker.<br />
Samuel Wildboare: his father, giving bond for him on obtaining his<br />
marriage licence 15 May, 1715, is described as grocerus (Blagg and<br />
Wadsworth, Nottinghamshire Marriage Licences, II, p. 79).<br />
John Frost: no further information concerning him has been located.<br />
George: George Seeker the elder (d. 1761), who continued in trade at<br />
Coventry, and as a dissenter [G.M., LIII (1783), p. 1030]. As late as<br />
1741 his name is spelled as "Sacker" in a poll list for the election at<br />
Coventry that year, where, as one would expect, he was for the "low<br />
party" (Bodleian MS Gough Add. Warwick. 39, p. 19).<br />
my Father: Thomas Seeker (d. 1700).
