Initial Response Information

Query Responder: SGS Query Editor

John Seely responded as follows – The Obadiah birth date comes from the St. Martins Church records of Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. We do not find any proof that THIS Obadiah is the same as the one found in Stamford, CT records about 1642.

The apprenticeship release from the TURNERS COMPANY of LONDON occurred in 1636. John’s “talk” at the 1995 SGS Reunion was published in a subsequent Newsletter.
