Although one record states M.A., can find no trace in Venn or Foster. 1664 as Samuel, could be error.
The three institutions as vicar at Wollaston might suggest more than one of this name. However, a chance finding on website of Blue Plaques on waymarking.com gives illustration of a blue plaque in Cobbes Lane, Wollaston (erected 2003)to commemorate Edmund Cobbes, vicar of Wollaston, installed in 1663 against the wishes of a number of those with puritanical views, and who remained vicar there for 35 years; it was assumed he was responsible for making the particular road the main road into the village from the west. Thus it is likely that the entries below do relate to this one man.
