Lot No. 96 HOUSE OF JOHN ELZEY
He was a wealthy and prominent citizen, being Town Steward (Treasurer) in 1619, and in 1616 able to lend the Town
100 Sterling, (about 500 Sterling today(1970)0.
In 1608 he complained that John Parker (also my ancestor), a fellow Burgess (Town Mayor), had many times "abused
him and reviled (cursed) him in words severall (this is the way it's spelled) time in callinge(this is the way it's spelled)him
knave", for which Parker was fined 20 pounds, 10 of which was returned, under the Gild rules. Elzey's house was a
timber one.
Hope this is of some help to someone other than me!
