Biographical history
: The provenance of these deeds is uncertain at present. They may have had some connection with the Purcell family. The ‘in libro’ number suggests that one of them, at least, was copied for the purposes of the Vaughan vs Herbert lawsuit in the sixteenth century.

Two mediaeval deeds concerning lands in Wick, Carswell and Wroxhale [Wraxhall] in Somerset.
