M.A. from ST JOHN'S, 1736. S. of Laurence, of Cotsford, Oxon., Esq. Matric. from Exeter College, Oxford, Feb. 9, 1726-7, age 16; B.A. (Oxford) 1730-1. Ord. priest (Lincoln) May 28, 1738. Al. Oxon. and Scott-Mayor identify him with the dissenting minister at Knutsford, Cheshire, who died Dec. 15, 1801. But this seems doubtful, as the Knutsford man was already a dissenter in 1739, and is said to have been M.A. of Glasgow. (E. Axon.)
Confirmation that he was not the 'Knutsford man' from Buckinghamshire RO which confirms that Robert Lord signed the Bishops Transcripts for Chetwode and Barton Hartshorn from 1734-43, and he was buried at St Peter and St Paul Buckingham on 20 May 1744. Information supplied by Ted Flaxman 15/10/08
