James Heath (1629-1664)
Ex registro St. Bartholomew the lesse, London, Anno Dom. 1664. ‘James Heath, gent., dyed the 16th, and was buryed the 19th of August, consumption and dropsey, in the church neere the skreene dore.’
The clarke here told me that once he had a pretty good estate, but in his later time maintained him selfe much by writing bookesEW. He was hardly 40 yeares old when he dyed. He left 4 or 5 children on the parish, now all or most maried. Two were bound apprentices to weavers.
Note
EW James Heath, ejected by the Parliamentary Visitors (1648) from his Studentship in Christ Church, wrote histories of portions of the Civil War.
