poss. VENN: Adm. sizar at QUEENS', May 27, 1707. Of London. ' Matric. 1709; B.A. 1714-5. Probably V. of Preston, Dorset, 1720-1; afterwards R. of Devises, Sussex. [recte Wilts.]
There is little doubt that the V. of Preston is the same as the ordinand of 1720 and the C. of Devizes, as Robert Townsend, the R. of Devizes, was also preb. of Preston, but this JS was MA in 1720, of which Venn makes no mention.
See comment on ID 95434; this JS could be the ordinand of 1718 ID 3326.
