It seems likely that all of these records relate to the same person. Trotterscliffe and Byrling are both in the same deanery. Birling is within 10 miles of both Otford and Kingsdown.
Foster: Pugh, Hugh, s. H., of Talyllyn, co. Merioneth, pleb. Jesus Coll., matric. 18 Mar 1685-6, aged 18; BA 1690, rector of Birling, Kent, 1718, until his death 15 Dec 1743. See Rawl. i. 234, v. 396; Gent Mag. 1744, p. 47.
Gent Mag. 1744, p. 47 fn. 'When he was removed to Jesus College, Oxon, he signalized himself in jumping, wrestling, swimming, pitching a bar, &c. (Of his skill in the first of which exercises there remains a monument near the Museum at Oxford) and from that time to the 60th year of his age he far exceeded all his contemporaries in ev’ry manly exercise.'
