Chadwick, John (1612-1640)

Comments

Venn may have confused two John Chadwicks, both of Lancs. and both of Christ's College (and both probably the sons of men called Robert. The Essex clergyman and the Rector of Standish, Lancs., in 1640 seem to be the same man, as suggested by account of latter in VCH Lancs.:
'John Chadwick paid first-fruits 7 Nov. 1640. His first presentation (by Ralph Standish) was objected to by the bishop, and the king endeavoured to claim the presentation 'by lapse,' Samuel Hinde being instituted 30 Dec. 1639. The claim was not sustained, and Chadwick was presented a second time by 'Robert Wiseman and Edward Harries' (Inst. Bks.). Ralph Standish in 1621 agreed with Charles Chadwick of Woodham Ferris in Essex touching the next presentation to Standish; Standish deeds, no. 343.
Rector Chadwick probably died in 1644; an inventory of his goods was filed in 1647 at Chester. For pedigree see Dugdale's Visit. (Chet. Soc.), 74.'
