Searches in Venn and Foster cannot trace this man and the gaps in parish registers make it difficult to disentangle whether there is one man or about three of this name in the area. melocki site states one was curate of Condover 1662 and portioner of Pontesbury 1671-1697; it might be suspected that the man at Hughley (in Condover hundred was the same as this one, and that the record stating he was at Highley may be error for Hughley - to be checked.
Ordination date (1651) makes sense if it is error for 1661)
