VENN: Matric. sizar from TRINITY, Easter, 1633; B.A. 1637; M.A. 1642. Ord. priest (Peterb.) Sept. 25, 1642. Sequestered to R. of Little Burstead, Essex, 1646; gone by 1650. V. of Codicote, Herts., 1654. (H. Smith.)
Silverwood was ordained priest on 25.9.1642, by Towers of Peterborough (according to his ordination register) and by Williams of Lincoln (according to a Nottingham visitation book of 1663). The latter is likely to be a scribal error, as is not uncommon with entries in liber cleri.
