Foster: s. Tho., of Sopworth, Wilts. minister (ID 11073). ST. ALBAN HALL matric. 2 April 1669, aged 19; B.A. 1672, rector of Lasborough, co. Gloucester 1684. See Foster's Ind. Eccles.
BUT if Foster is correct in his appointment as Rector of Lasborough, Gloucs., can he be the Curate of Sopworth appointed in 1689?
I think this is correct - appointed curate to his father's parish 1677, (Wiltshire) and rector Lasborough (Glos) in 1684, died 1719 at Lasborough. Distance from Sopworth to Lasborough is not much more than 7 miles
