| The Rev. C. J. Robinson, M.A. (Vicar), kindly sends the following extracts from Horsham parish register: "Baptism. 1661. June 21, Elizabeth, daughter of Wm. Hamber by Sarah." "Burial. 1702. Sep. 5, William Hamper, householder." The parish register of West Tarring, Sussex, records the marriage of William Hamper to Susanna Carter on April 16, 1682.--Burrell MS., 5,698 Addl., p. 515. The initials W S H (William and Sarah Hamper) clearly show the first-named to have been the issuer. |

| In Hearth-tax Return, 1670, "Mr. John Higgenbottom, nine hearths." A Mr. Higanbotham was parson of Plumpton, Sussex, in 1612. (See "Roll of Armour and Furniture of the Clergy." S. A. C. xi. 225.) Amongst the burials recorded in the parish registers (kindly searched by the Rev. C. J. Robinson, M.A., Vicar) is: "1679. Feb. 1, John, son of John Higenbottom, gent., a child." He died in 1685, and bequeathed his shop in East Street, Horsham, "unto Mary, my loving wife."--S. A. C. xxiv. 140. |

| The parish register records the following baptisms: 1642. John, son of John Hindley, Gent. (by Mary), Jan. 29.
1668. George, son of John Hindley, Gent., Aug. 14.
1678. John, son of John Hindley, Gent., Apl. 15.
--Burrell MS., 5,698 Addl., p. 426. It is not clear whether the issuer was the one baptized in 1642; but this seems not improbable, and if so, he was, doubtless, the father of the second and third above named. The Rev. C. J. Robinson, M.A. (Vicar), kindly adds two further notes from the parish registers: "Married. 1666, Oct. 23, John Hindley and Elizabeth Gratwicke, both of this."
"Burial. 1685, Sept. 8th, Elizabeth, wife of John Hindley, gent." |

| A Robert Hurst was a freeholder of Horsham in 1734. A later person of this name was a tailor, as we find from the "Marchant Diary" (S.A. C. xxv. 186): "1719. Dec. 12th, Robert Hurst, of Horsham, brought my father a great-coat. He and my father supt and spent the evening here." "1721. Nov. 15th, paid R. Hurst for making me a camblet coat."--Ib. 190. The Rev. C J. Robinson, M.A. (Vicar), kindly sends the following extracts from the parish registers: "Married. 1638, Oct. 2, Robert Hurst and Elizabeth Clowser."
"Baptism. 1662, June 17, John, son of Robert Hurst by Mary." As the initials R M H (Robert and Mary Hurst) connect the latter entry with the issuer, it is probable that the first-named was his father. The member for the borough from July, 1865, to February, 1874, and from December, 1875, to February, 1876, was the later Robert H. Hurst, Esq. |

| Some churchwardens' accounts about the date of the token mention Edward Parkhurst, who was apparently churchwarden.--Horsfield, "History of Sussex," ii. 266. The Hearth-tax Return of 1670 gives, under North Streete, "Thomas Parkhurst, three hearths and a forge." The name is still found at Horsham. |
