VENN: Matric. pernsioner from TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE, Easter 1616; BA from ST JOHN'S, CAMBRIDGE 1620/21; MA 1624.
See WALKER REVISED, 102 (which, however, identifies him as the DD, which is wrong).
Deprived of both his livings during the Civil War; reinstated to 1660. D 1665 (Venn, though confusing careers of two William Fairfaxes, gives burial date at Bolton, 2 May 1665.
