Local Port and Parish Notices From Wiltshire and Beyond
A dated miscellany of 18th century notices includes transportations and pardons, clergy appointments, shipwrecks, marriages, and port arrivals. It mentions a sheep theft reprieve, Dr. John Bughman’s death, Rev. Mr. Draper’s rectory appointment, and a Molly schooner lost off Garédpaig. Port lists name many ships sailing to London and foreign ports with destinations like Philadelphia, St Kitts, Cadiz, Madeira, Virginia, and Gibraltar.
