Foster: son of Thomas of Hampnett, minister (CCED ID 134079), ST ALBAN HALL 3 July 1663 aged 16; BA BALLIOL 1667; MA 1672; R of Minchinhampton 1675; his father rector of Hampnett 1629 or 1636
It appears that Foster entry in error - this man was R of Hampnett not Minchinhampton (mistake perhaps in the 'hamp...' of place name); father appears to have begun to be rector of Hampnett in 1636; probably his grandfather (CCED ID 154909) is the rector appointed in 1629. This information depends on the VCH which says that 4 members of the Hughes family were rectors of Hampnett from 1629 to 1771, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas and Simon, son of this last named Thomas. Note however the difficulty in locating correctly the various Thomas Hughes who were recotrs of this parish and of adjacent parishes from C16-C18).
