Advertiser (newspaper), reprinted by
Wiltshire GenUKI)
*According to this article, "Ship Money" was an imposition anciently charged
upon the ports, towns, cities, boroughs and counties of the realm by ships
writs under the great seal of England for providing and furnishing certain
ships for the King's service. It was revived and imposed by King Charles I
in 1635 and 1636, but afterward declared to be contrary to law, and considered
one of the causes of the deposition of the King and establishment of the
Commonwealth. See also Alexander and William COMBE of Badbury, Kingsbridge Hundred.
